Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
West Ham United kick off their Conference League campaign with a home match against Viborg. The Hammers made a slow start to the new Premier League campaign, with the team losing to both Man City and Nottingham Forest in the first two games of the season, and, no doubt, they will give 100% to beat Viborg on Thursday. A man to watch in the home team will be fit-again striker Michail Antonio, while Nayef Aguerd remains in the recovery room. Craig Dawson is unlikely to be risked in the first leg.
The Danes, on the other hand, set up a meeting with West Ham by beating BR6 Torshavn in the two-legged tie, but they will have a mountain to climb in Thursday’s clash. The Hammers are desperate to get back on course, and we predict that they will prove their worth on the field. As for the visiting side, all Andersen, Jawara, Mortimer, and Ndione are out of contention through injuries.
Highlighted Player (Issa Diop):
After spending two years at Balma SC, Issa Diop joined Toulouse football academy in 2006 and he was making progress year by year. The 194-cm-tall defender made seven appearances for Toulouse B in the 2014/2015 season and he made his Ligue 1 debut with les Pitchouns on November 28, 2015 against Nice.
Issa Diop, who was born in Toulouse on January 9, 1997, scored his first ever goal in the French top flight in a 3-0 win over Troyes in December, 2015. Diop is a youth international for France at various levels, but seeing that his father Labysse Diop is of Senegal descent, the Toulouse footballer could represent les Lions de la Teranga at senior level.
The Toulouse defender scored two goals for les Pitchouns in the 2016/2017 Ligue 1 campaign and he made no less than 30 appearances for the club in the process. Issa Diop has a contract with Toulouse which expires on June 30, 2020.
