West Ham vs. Sevilla: Preview and betting tips

Czech national player Tomáš Souček will play the Europa League semi-final rematch on Thursday. The most successful team of this competition, Sevilla, will come to London stadium. The Spanish side won the first leg 1:0, so everything is open in the rematch.

West Ham have struggled since February, winning only two of their last seven games. At the weekend, it took three points against Aston Villa to hold on to sixth place in the league. They are just two points behind fifth-placed Manchester United.

Sevilla is also looking, having won only two of its last six games and likely out of contention for the Spanish league title. They are ten points behind first-placed Real Madrid and can now concentrate fully on the Europa League.

West Ham are likely to be missing their two biggest mainstays, after Jarrod Bowen, Michail Antonio was also on the Hammers’ sick list in the last game. So it will all rest on the midfield stars, Tomas Soucek and Declan Rice.

In the away jersey, it’s Rafa Mir, the Spanish spearhead striker has scored eleven times through all competitions. The reliable stopper duo of Diego Carlos, Jules Koundé must also be mentioned.

The Hammers will have a really tough time, especially if Antonio is not available. They’ve scored just six goals in their last seven games.

In addition, Sevilla have the best defensive record in La Liga and have scored just one goal in their last three games.

Considering the aforementioned statistics and also considering the absence of Bowen, I think Sevilla will not lose.
