Last season, West Ham enjoyed an exciting European campaign, reaching the semifinals of the Europa League, in which they lost to Eintracht. The Londoners had a good performance in the Premier League, too - they finished in 7th place with 56 points from 38 games.

In the summer, the Hammers spent 112 million on transfers. Gianluca Scamacca from Sassuolo (36 million), Nayef Aguerd from Rennes (35 million) and Maxwel Cornet from Burnley (20.7 million) have joined the squad. Despite those additions to the squad, David Moyes' side started the new season with defeats to Man City (0:2) and Nottingham Forest (0:1)

Aguerd, Dawson have been ruled out of this match.

Tip and bets

2.35West Ham to win

We will back West Ham in this fixture. The team beat Viborg in their first Conference League qualifier this week, but they still are without points in the Premier League. The Hammers will strive to use home advantage to collect their first points.

We don't expect this to be a high-scoring game. Probably the visitors will focus on their defenses and try to hold West Ham to a draw. In two of the last three head-to-head games, the teams didn't score more than three goals, and we predict a similar performance tonight.
