West Ham and Freiburg will meet in the second leg of the 1/8 finals of the Europa League. A week ago the German club won with a score of 1:0. I think the English will try to win back at home.
In the first match, the opponents showed equal football – they created approximately the same number of chances and took turns in possession of the ball. But luck still smiled on Freiburg – Gregoric scored in the 81st minute. West Ham didn’t manage to equalize.
In recent months, things have not been going well for Moyes’ men. The team achieved only a couple of victories, and even then, against such strong opponents – 4:2 with Brentford and 3:1 with Everton. In other matches, the Hammers suffered failures. They haven’t been fighting for European Cups in the Premier League for a long time. Indicative was West Ham’s game at the weekend with one of the outsiders of the tournament, in which it also failed to win – 2:2 with Burnley.
Freiburg has been performing a little better lately. In seven matches in all tournaments, the club lost only once – 1:2 with Augsburg. After that, the “Brazilians from Breisgau” managed not to lose to Bayern – 2:2. And at the weekend, Christian Streich’s team beat Bochum without any problems – 2:1. In the Bundesliga table, Freiburg is now also outside the European Cup zone, from which it is already seven points behind.
Yes, if you look at their recent matches, Freiburg looks a little better to bet on winning. But I think West Ham will compete here. Moreover, the gap in their overall score is minimal. So the Hammers will be active on their field and will try to quickly equalize. I think, at a minimum, Moyes’ team will win in regular time.
