The visitors have a massive advantage in terms of class. This allowed the team to pull off a first-round win against FCSB. Furthermore, West Ham had plenty of time to rest, as they did not play a weekend in the English Premier League. Silkeborg has slowed down considerably since the start of the UEFA tournaments, losing five of its last eight games. We don’t think we should expect a sensation tonight.
The hosts have nowhere to run back, as a second defeat in a row will clearly keep them out of playoff contention. They will have to take their chances. West Ham United’s defence has been poor, having conceded in their previous three games. We expect to see at least three goals from the two teams tonight.
Silkeborg has not scored more than one goal in its last five games.
West Ham United faced a real challenge from FCSB in the first round of the Conference League but won in the end. In the second round, the Hammers will travel to Denmark to play against Silkeborg. The encounter starts on September 15 at 20:00 UK time.
Silkeborg finished third in the Danish league last season and qualified for the Europa League. However, in the game against HJK, Silkeborg failed to qualify and the team now play in the group stage of the Conference League.
Silkeborg did not imagine their return to the international arena would be like this.
Silkeborg had not played in European competitions for 21 years. So the opening game in the main draw of the Conference League was a disappointing one for the team.
The Danish team lost in the 1st round to Belgian Anderlecht (0-1). The only goal the Scandinavians conceded on a penalty in the 81st minute of the game.
In the Danish league, Silkeborg is doing quite well. On Matchday 9, the club managed to beat AGF (1-0). After this win, Silkeborg has 16 points and is now fourth in the Danish league.
West Ham enjoyed a good run of top-four places in the EPL last season and even claimed a place in the Champions League. However, the team was slow in the last matchdays to finish in seventh place and qualify to play in the Conference League.
The 7th round of the English Premier League has been postponed. West Ham United was to play the game against Newcastle.
A new date for the game will be announced later.
The Hammers are 18th in the table in the English Premier League. That’s the relegation zone. West Ham United has four points.
The British team can take credit for the first leg of the Conference League. West Ham defeated FCSB (3-1) at home.
