Bayer Leverkusen vs West Ham preview and betting tips for Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final battle from the BayArena.
Only continuing on what has been an iconic fairytale this season, Bayer Leverkusen are riding a major wave of momentum and have their sights set on clinching a first-leg advantage here.
Although West Ham might have made real history last season as they were crowned Europa Conference League champions, the Hammers certainly face a monumental challenge when they travel to Germany.
Bayer Leverkusen vs West Ham Prediction
Breezing their way to a maiden Bundesliga crown this season and breaking a string of records, Bayer Leverkusen have continued to receive a host of plaudits from across the continent. Remarkably not suffering a single defeat across any competition so far this season, Xabi Alonso’s high-flying squad are tipped as a leading Europa League contender. Holding a remarkable 16-point buffer at the top of the Bundesliga table, Thursday’s hosts have also gained a fearsome reputation for their success on home soil. In fact, Leverkusen have won all of their previous seven appearances at the BayArena by an aggregate score of 19-4.
Although West Ham might have made a crucial return to winning ways last weekend as they snatched a dramatic 2-1 victory away at Wolves, the Hammers have struggled to find any kind of stability since opening the New Year. With continued speculation over David Moyes’ long-term future at the London Stadium, the former Manchester United boss will be bracing himself for a heavyweight challenge at the BayArena. Hit with a 4-0 drumming when they travelled to Leverkusen for a pre-season showdown over the summer, West Ham are pencilled in as a real underdog contender on Thursday night.
