Peter Green - October 4, 2022
Anderlecht vs West Ham
UEFA Europa Conference League
Date: Thursday, 06 October 2022
Kick-off at 17:45 UK / 18:45 CET
Venue: Lotto Park
Thursday’s Europa Conference League schedule will see Anderlecht coming up against West Ham at Lotto Park.
The Hammers are one of the favorites to lift the Conference League at the end of the season. They might have failed to qualify for the Europa or the Champions League, as they had to be content with a seventh-place finish in the last Premier League season.
But that just might have been the blessing in disguise they needed, to finally put an end to their trophy-less run in the Europa Conference League.
Even though they failed to have a flying start in this English Premier League season, the team will be bookies favorite to claim the wins here against Anderlecht on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Anderlecht had an impressive form throughout the previous season and it seems that they have carried over the momentum. They will be determined to deliver their absolute best in order to extend their current winning streak.
Going on, the Purple & Whites had an impressive start to this Conference League season. They will enter this fixture on the back of a win and a draw from their previous 2 rounds of ECL fixtures.
Anderlecht might be on a good stretch of performances lately. It might have meant something against any other squad in the group but this weekend they are pitted against West Ham who claimed the seventh spot in the previous season despite of having heavy competitive atmosphere.
West Ham will enter the 3rd round of ECL fixtures on the back of two consecutive victories. They had scored a total of 6 goals in those two fixtures.
Moreover, West Ham won 3 of the past 5 on the road fixtures. It deserves to mention that 2 of them were ECL fixtures.
Considering all these observations, expect a victory for the visiting side West Ham on Thursday at Lotto Park.
