West Ham vs Gent 20.04.2023

West Ham will put their troubles in the league aside and take on Gent in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League at the London Stadium for a place in the semi-finals. Although the Hammers recorded an impressive 2-2 draw against Arsenal last weekend, the relegation threats hovering over them is yet to go away.

David Moyes’ men dominated large parts of the first leg in Belgium even in the absence of a number of first-team players. Now back home, with the more established potentially returning to the starting eleven, West Ham provides a good value for a win.

However, with a less-than-impressive defence, Gent looks like a sure bet to find the back of the net in London. Therefore, we are backing both teams to score.
