Prediction: 2-1
Gent
West Ham play host to Gent at their London Stadium in the Conference League quarter-finals, second leg. The two teams played out a 1-1 draw win Belgium, but the Hammers are seen as hot favourites to beat Gent in front of home fans. Gianluca Scamacca remains in the recovery room, while Angelo Ogbonna is banned for the match.
The Belgian outfit, on the other hand, head into Thursday’s clash following a 1-1 draw with Mechelen. All Hjulsager, Lemajic, and Marreh are out of contention through injuries, but there are no suspended players in the visiting side. Nigeria forward Gift Emmanuel Orban is widely expected to lead the line for the away team after coming as a substitute in the last league match. Anyhow, home win should be considered as West Ham United proved their worth in a come-from-behind draw with Arsenal at the weekend.
