Football Prediction
West Ham will be going up against German side Freiburg in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday night.
The Hammers defeat in the previous round of the Premier League against Fulham 5-0 was completely unexpected for West Ham, which in recent years has built a reputation in England as a fighting and quality team that rarely loses by a large margin. Freiburg won the last two matches in the Bundesliga and on the wings of those victories they traveled to London.
H2H / Stats
Both teams’ first and only meeting was in the reverse fixture where West Ham emerged 2-1 winners in Germany.
Team News
West Ham have a lot less problems with injured players. Areola may return to the field for the match against Freiburg, while striker Antonio will be out until the end of December
Many players at Freiburg will be out of action until the end of December and of course they will not be able to play in this match. Among them are Kenneth Schmidt due to abdominal problems, Keitel due to groin injury, Philipp due to shoulder injury, and Max Rosenfelder who has tendon problems. Gunter and Kyereh have slightly more serious arm and ACL injuries.
Probable Line-Up
West Ham XI: Fabianski (GK), Johnson, Mavropanos, Aguerd, Creswell, Prowse, Soucek, Paqueta, Fornals, Mubama, Benrahma
Freiburg XI: Atubolu (GK), Lienhart, Ginter, Sildillia, Makengo, Hoefler, Eggestein, Doan, Hoeler, Gregoritsch, Grifo
Verdict
West Ham can tactically play quite defensively and thus achieve a positive outcome. Freiburg will have to attack sooner or later, but in the early period of this match, there should not be too many chances and goals.
