West Ham United Preview – Hammers to secure big home win?
West Ham United secured qualification to the Europa Conference League after finishing in seventh in the Premier League last term. They made light work of Viborg in the play-off round, winning 3-1 at the London Stadium and 3-0 away from home.
West Ham have been superb in the Premier League over the past couple of seasons or so, but the London side have made a poor start to this campaign. David Moyes’ men are down in 18th with just four points to their name. The Irons have won one, drawn one and lost four of their opening six matches.
Two of West Ham’s three wins this term have come in Europe, and Moyes’ boys will be looking for no less than three points from their opening Europa Conference League Group B game. The Hammers are the strong favourites to get the win.
FCSB Preview – Can the Romanians pull off a shock in London?
FCSB finished runners-up to Cluj in Romania’s top tier last term, finishing just a point behind the champions after the regular season and ten games in the play-off section. They will be looking for their first title since 2015 this season.
Nicolae Dica’s side have made a poor start to their 2022-23 campaign, though, winning just one of their opening seven games. The Red and Blues are already 14 points behind the leaders.
