Hammers can continue to impress on European stage
West Ham reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League in 2022, where they fell at the semi-final stage to eventual winners Eintracht Frankfurt.
They should be confident of progressing through to this stage again when Freiburg visit on Thursday evening, with this being their fourth meeting in the tournament this campaign already.
The Hammers were victorious home and away in the group stages against Christian Streich’s men, winning 2-0 at the London Stadium thanks to first-half strikes from Mohammed Kudus and Edson Alvarez.
Another clean sheet victory could be on the cards for the Hammers, who have lost just one of their last 15 European encounters at home, with four of their last six continental home victories coming to nil.

Brilliant Bowen can be difference maker
Jarrod Bowen is having a superb season in front of goal domestically - with his 14 Premier League strikes his best return in a top-flight season - but he has yet to have that same impact on the European scene this time around.
The 27-year-old is yet to find the back of the net in the competition this season - although he has registered two assists, with one coming for the opener in their 2-1 victory in Freiburg in the group stages.
However, Bowen has been the man for the big occasions for the Hammers, scoring the winner in the Europa Conference League final last season and he will be expected to rise to the occasion with his club in need of a result.
At 15/8, he looks like a good option to find what could be a crucial goal.

Game unlikely to be dictated by set-pieces
The first leg saw just eight corners taken across the 90 plus minutes and a similar story could be told on Thursday night.
Each of their previous three meetings this season has seen under nine corner kicks - with just three appearing at the London Stadium in December, while each of West Ham’s last four home fixtures would have seen winners in this market.
Another encounter with few visits to the corner flag could be in the offing and a 5/4 price is certainly worth looking at.
