🗞️ Team News: West Ham United

The West Ham United manager David Moyes will be grateful to have no fitness worries whatsoever before this game thanks to a fully injury-free squad to pick from.

It’s our opinion that The Hammers will probably use a 4-2-3-1 system this time and select Alphonse Areola, Ben Johnson, Kurt Zouma, Angelo Ogbonna, Aaron Cresswell, Lucas Paqueta, Tomas Soucek, Jarrod Bowen, Manuel Lanzini, Pablo Fornals and Gianluca Scamacca.

ℹ️ Team News: AEK Larnaca

AEK Larnaca manager José Oltra has to choose a team with limited availability. Bruno Gama (Achilles tendon surgery) and Andreas Paraskevas (Ruptured cruciate ligament) are not ready for selection.

From our viewpoint, Kitrinoprasinoi could decide to elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation, choosing Kenan Piric, Ismael Casas, Nenad Tomovic, Mikel Gonzalez, Nikos Englezou, Rafail Mamas, Gus Ledes, Giorgos Naoum, Oier, Marin Jakolis and Nemanja Nikolic.

🔮 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that West Ham United should stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.

Conversely, AEK Larnaca will be up against it to get a goal of their own although we do see them seeing enough of the ball to score, too.

We’re therefore expecting to see a controlled 3-1 win for West Ham United come full-time.
