Silkeborg vs West Ham United betting tips: Europa Conference League preview, predictions and odds

Match preview

West Ham United are clearly the best team in this group, so will they make it two wins out of two in Denmark?

On matchday one, despite being a goal down at half time, the Hammers fought back and beat FCSB 3-1 at the London Stadium.

Jarrod Bowen lashed home a penalty before Emerson bundled in his first goal for the club, with Michail Antonio rubber stamping the victory in stoppage time.

David Moyes’ men reached the Europa League semi-finals just last season and now, in a lower-tier tournament, are certainly aiming to go all the way.

Given that the Irons were not in action at the weekend, ahead of Sunday’s trip to Everton, expect Moyes to name a very strong side here.

West Ham have already won in Denmark this season, easily beating Viborg 3-0 three week ago, but should face a tougher test just 22 miles south at JYSK Park.

Silkeborg, as a newly-promoted club, came third in last season’s Superligaen, so are back in Europe after 21 years away.

Kent Nielsen’s team took on Anderlecht a week ago and, after competing on an even keel for long periods, were eventually undone by a late penalty.

Having lost to HJK in last month’s Europa League play-offs, Silkeborg are now winless in nine European fixtures, dating back 24 years.

So, a comfortable West Ham victory seems likely at Silkeborg Stadium.
