West Ham to Win

Under 3 Goals
Viborg’s seven of their last ten fixtures and West Ham’s seven of their last eight away games produced three o fewer goals. The goals stats are showing a 75% chance that this math will have the same number of goals.
West Ham to Score First
Despite the fact that West Ham failed to score in their opening two Premier League games, the Hammers scored first in four of their six away games in Europe last season.
Viborg
Viborg won their first ever Danish League championship in the 2020/21 season and followed it with a seventh-placed finish the last term. The Greens will pay their sixth game of this year’s Conference League edition.
In the previous two rounds, coach Jacob Friis’s team eliminated Suduva of Lithuania 2-0 on aggregate and Torshavn of the Faroe Islands by 5-1. In the first leg against West Ham, Viborg did well to actually score a goal from three shots on goal but they need an outstanding performance to beat West Ham by three goals.
West Ham
West Ham meanwhile are playing in their second match in Europe this season after finishing seventh in the Premier League last season. The Hammers had a great run in the Europa League during the previous campaign.
Playing against teams like Lyon, Sevilla, and Dinamo Zagreb and beating them once each makes West Ham an overwhelming favorite to go through to the group stage of the ECL. in the last ten fixtures, West Ham have the same average of scoring and conceding goals which is 1.10.
Obviously, West Ham are favorites with the bookies to advance to the group stage. As we covered in our predictions, despite the fact that David Moyes’ team have a losing streak, we predict West Ham to win this match.
