Prediction and Preview
West Ham vs Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen seems to be riding high on their Bundesliga triumph, and their recent victory over West Ham United in the Europa League certainly adds to their momentum. The performance showcased their dominance, with a staggering 33 shots on goal, eventually breaking through the resilient defense thanks to substitutes Jonas Hofmann and Victor Boniface.
However, West Ham United shouldn't be written off just yet. Despite their recent struggles, they have shown resilience before, notably with a comeback win over Freiburg earlier in the competition. Yet, their form has been inconsistent, with just one win from their last six matches and a poor home record in 2024.
The key for West Ham will likely be their goalkeeper, Lukasz Fabianski, who has been a standout performer in the face of relentless attacks. If they can replicate their past comeback performances and tighten their defense, they might still have a chance to turn the tie around. However, Bayer Leverkusen will enter the second leg with confidence and momentum on their side, making them the favorites to progress to the next round.
Predicted lineups
West Ham Predicted lineup:
Fabianski; Coufal, Zouma, Mavropanos, Cresswell; Soucek, Ward-Prowse, Emerson; Kudus, Paqueta; Antonio.
Leverkusen Predicted lineup:
Kovar; Stanisic, Tah, Tapsoba, Grimaldo; Frimpong, Xhaka, Palacios, Wirtz, Adli; Schick.
