West Ham United travel to Athens on Thursday evening (17:45) as they take on Olympiacos in the Europa League, with the Hammers looking to win their third successive match of the group stage.
Here are some of the best markets on offer in this European contest.
Match Odds
Olympiacos are yet to win a match in the Europa League this term and they are priced at 11/5 to beat the Hammers. You can back a draw at 23/10, while West Ham are valued at 21/20.
Both these sides have scored in their opening two matches in Europe this term. You can back both teams to score at 8/13.
Over 2.5 goals is priced at 8/11 but you will find better value in backing over 3.5 goals at 7/4.
Team News
Olympiacos are going to be without Andreas Ndoj for this one as the defender serves a one-game suspension. The Greek outfit have no fresh injury concerns heading into Thursday.
West Ham also have no fitness concerns of their own but manager David Moyes could rotate the side that were beaten by Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday.
Jarrod Bowen to score anytime @ 2/1
Jarrod Bowen has come back with a bang this season and West Ham’s star man has been prolific in front of goal in the Premier League, with six goals in nine appearances. But Bowen is still waiting to get off the mark in Europe, and while he may not start for the Hammers in Athens, he could certainly still have an impact from the bench.
Bowen’s directness and confidence to take players on allows him to get into good positions and when he gets sight of goal, he often has the confidence to find the finish. Moyes will want to secure an away win here, and Bowen can play a big part.
West Ham to win @ 21/20
Moyes’ men have made an excellent start in Europe, with a maximum six points collected so far. Should they make it a hat-trick in Greece then they will be in a great position to qualify for the knockout stage.
The Hammers will be fired up for this clash after their confidence took a hit at Villa Park over the weekend. Moyes will demand a response so that his players can get back to winning ways before they face Everton in the league at the weekend.
Even if his side is rotated, West Ham have plenty of quality to come into the starting lineup with the likes of Pablo Fornals, Said Benrahma and Mohammed Kudus. This trio will be pushing for a start on Thursday and will be hoping that they can make an impact to gain more minutes in the Premier League.
