Tip and bets
It is a match between two evenly matched teams. German club is currently in a poor form and their recent results in Bundesliga are far from satisfying. West Ham also suffered a few defeats lately and dropped out of the Top-6 in the English Premier League.

Our prediction - West Ham to win the match
In the first leg we are expecting a cautious performance from both teams. Both clubs will do everything to avoid a defeat, but we believe that hosts will get a victory by one goal.
Our second bet is on West Ham to win by one goal
