Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
David faces Goliath at London Stadium on Thursday evening as West Ham United and Steaua go head to head in the Conference League opener. The Hammers have yet to find their best form in the new Premier League campaign, but their display in a 2-1 loss to Chelsea was anything but poor. David Moyes’ men aim to return to winning ways as soon as possible, and it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to do so.
Both Ben Johnson and Nayef Aguard remain in the recovery room, while fellow defender Craig Dawson is unlikely to be risked against Steaua. The Romanians, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Farul, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling West Ham’s party in London. As for the visiting side, Razvan Oaida could sneak into the starting XI this time out.
