West Ham United vs Olympiacos Predictions

• Both teams have scored in 13 of West Ham’s last 16 games
• Both teams have scored in each of their opening three games in this group
• Olympiakos have seen 12 goals have been scored across their opening three matches

West Ham struggling for form

Having lost four of their last five games, West Ham are in need of a result when they host Olympiakos on Thursday night. The Hammers suffered a 2-1 defeat in Greece when the pair met at the end of last month, which has left the top three in their Europa League group split by just two points at the half-way point.

A 3-2 defeat at Brentford at the weekend highlighted the Hammers’ defensive concerns, as they’re now without a clean sheet in seven games. The visitors will hope to capitalise on that, having made a thrilling start to this European campaign.

Both sides have seen both teams score in their opening three games, with 12 goals scored across the Greek side’s matches so far. With the hosts seeing both teams score in 13 of their 16 outings this season, expect another high-scoring clash.

Kudus to fire Hammers to victory

One bright spot for West Ham was Mohammed Kudus’s impact against Brentford. The former Ajax man scored for the second game running, having netted in their win over Arsenal last week. The winger has already scored twice for the Hammers in this competition, while he netted a hat-trick for Ajax in qualifying.

Kudus is a great anytime goalscorer option on Thursday, while he can fire the Hammers to a much-needed 2-1 win.
