Our prediction for this Europa League match:
London Stadium will host Thursday’s Europa League game between West Ham United and Freiburg. The Hammers aim to overcome a one-goal deficit in the tie with Christian Streich’s troops and we are positive that the hosts will go all guns blazing at the Bundesliga outfit. Mexico midfielder Edson Alvarez returns to the starting XI, while both Emerson and Maxwel Cornet are out of contention with injuries.
Freiburg, on the other hand, won the first leg thanks to Michael Gregoritsch’s goal and they are now on a quest to defend their slim lead in London. West Ham United, though, are a real force to be reckoned with at home and given their fine display in a 2-2 draw Burnley, especially in the second half, home win should be considered. All Kyereh, Lienhart, Rosenfelder, and Schmidt are out of contention with injuries for the German side.
