[Football- Europa League] 11.4/ 21:00 Bayer Leverkursen- West Ham

Getting a bit riskier here but let’s get it. First, Leverkusen have failed to score in just one match all season. Yes, you read that correctly. That was a 0-0 draw against Monchengladbach on January 27, where despite not scoring, they still registered 2.99 xG (in other words, they absolutely should have scored). For this reason I feel good about Leverkusen.

As for West Ham, this is certainly the riskier side of the bet. They’ll be without Jarrod Bowen, Edson Alvarez, and Kalvin Phillips but they still have healthy Mo Kudus and most importantly, Lucas Paqueta. Since Paqueta’s return from injury, West Ham have scored in 8/9 matches.

As for tomorrow’s game script, I think David Moyes understands that with his weakened midfield, he won’t be able to hold off Leverkusen all match, so they need to have a plan to be able to snatch at least one goal on a counterattack. Leverkusen will be tempted to try to put themselves in an especially good position before playing the return leg at London Stadium. I like our chances of Leverkusen overcommitting numbers at some point and getting punished by the trio of Antonio, Kudus, and Paqueta.
