Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the UEFA Europa League match.
West Ham
The current form of West Ham is quite questionable. The side has lost 3 out of their 5 games played after the break for the international games, conceding 11 goals. On Sunday, they suffered defeat in the game versus Fulham (0:2), with their opponents having 3.15 xG and 10 shots on goals. One of the key defenders Mavropanos was injured and he’s to miss the Europa League game.
Bayer
On Sunday, Bayer became the champions 5 rounds prior to the end of the season. They beat Werder Bremen (5:0). Wirtz made a hat-trick and Boniface was in perfect form. The Nigerian has scored 2 goals and made 1 assist in the last 2 games, he seems to be fully recovered from his injury. Bayer will use their strongest squad in London.
West Ham – Bayer prediction
Bayer made 33 shots in the first leg against just 1 from West Ham (2:0). There will be no big difference in London. I believe in Bayer.
