Gent vs West Ham Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday, 13 April 2023.
West Ham definitely made a slow start to their campaign. But they are making up for it with good performances lately.
Meanwhile, Gent are on a superb streak of results, and despite them having to take on a team from the Premier League, they will be determined to give it a good effort.
This is the first time these two teams are locking horns with each other.
The Hammers have improved their form quite impressively in the last few weeks. In fact, they were unbeaten in five of their past six overall games, and won three of their former four fixtures as well.
They also have the confidence of regularly locking horns with some of the best teams in Europe in the English top flight.
On the other hand, Gent remained winless in six of their past eleven appearances at home, and it is a doubt if they will be able to take on the determined West Ham, who are going after a deep run in the Europa.
As things stand, the Hammers have the edge.
Five of the past nine games of West Ham had four or more goals. And in spite of Gent being the underdogs this Thursday, they scored three or more goals in four of their previous five fixtures.
Likely, chances are high for goals to come in huge numbers at the Ghelamco Arena.
As mentioned, Gent are scoring goals in huge numbers. They are expected to struggle this game week, but the fact that they found the back of the net 19 times from their last five fixtures is to be noted.
Anticipate goals to come from either end of the pitch this Thursday.
The Hammers won three of their last four overall fixtures, and they remained unbeaten in five of their previous six games. They are part of the prestigious English top flight, and regularly take on some of the absolute best teams in the continent.
On the other hand, Gent remained winless in six of their eleven preceding appearances at home. They are expected to struggle this Thursday at the Ghelamco Arena.
West Ham to Win appears like a decent pick at 2.20 odd.
However, Gent did score 19 goals from their past five fixtures, while five of the past nine match-ups of the Hammers had four or more goals as well. As such, the Over 2.5 Match Goals seems to be a good option at 2.20 odd.
