Anderlecht
It has been a rollercoaster season for RSC Anderlecht. The team hasn’t had a solid run of form since they went on a six-game winning streak.
Anderlecht’s Struggle
The team has only won two games in the last eight. They’ve had four losses and two draws in that period. So, the team is struggling to find the right form.
As they get ready for the match against West Ham. It is a tough task for the Belgian as they come into this game with a loss.
Although they dominated the match from start to finish and were the favorites to win the game, they lost to a single goal from a counter-attacking chance from Sporting Charleroi.
Their game was marred by missed chances, which they were punished for at the end of the game.
65th-minute Strike
The 65th-minute strike of Ryota Morioka gave Charleroi the lead, and it was enough to seal the victory for the away side. The team has to take their chances as they enter this tie against West Ham.
They are the underdog in this match, making it more difficult to control the game. They have the lesser team and would need to level up their game.
It would be difficult for the team to impose their tactics for the entire 90 minutes, and they have to be careful not to concede an early goal from West Ham’s foray of attacks.
West Ham United
This season has not also been too good for West Ham United, but they are doing better than Anderlecht in retrospect.
The team has had the most exciting turn of events since they started the season, even though they’ve not had a solid run of form. However, they’re coming into this match with a win.
Their Premier League game against Everton before the last match wasn’t good as they lost by a single goal in the 53rd minute.
After they conceded, they went on the offensive, but it wasn’t enough to secure a win for the team. They needed to do better, which they did in the next game as they hosted Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Gianluca Scamacca Scored
They started the scoring early as Gianluca Scamacca scored the first goal after a series of back and forth from both sides.
Wolves looked like they would get an equalizer, but it wasn’t meant to be as they struggled in front of goal, and losing Pedro Neto didn’t help the team. In the second half, the Wolves continued the control.
However, the team conceded a second as Jarrod Bowen slotted home another to make it 2-0 and take the game away from the visitors.
Although the Wolves continued on the offensive, they couldn’t impact the game, ending 2-0. Therefore, West Ham got all three points and came into their tie against Anderlecht on a high.
We expect them to continue on this form and push to win the game as they hope to secure qualification as early as possible. Also, the West Ham schedule shows that they are in for an incredible ride.
Anderlecht vs. West Ham United Pick and Prediction
