WEST HAM UNITED will endeavour to make it five wins from five in Europa Conference League Group B when they square off with Silkeborg at the London Stadium on Thursday night.
After enjoying a memorable run to last season's Europa League semi-finals, the Hammers have made a seamless transition into Europe's third tier competition this term.
David Moyes' men secured qualification to the knockout stages courtesy of a 2-1 win over Anderlecht at the London Stadium a fortnight ago.
That means West Ham require just one point from their final Group B home game to secure top spot when they welcome Silkeborg to the English capital on Thursday.
After opening with a pair of losses, the Danish side have boosted their chances of reaching the knockout round following back-to-back wins against FCSB.
However, closer to home, Silkeborg have struggled for consistency for recent weeks having taken just four points from their last three Danish Superliga assignments.
Outright Betting
West Ham emerged victorious from September's reverse fixture and the same outcome here is heavily-fancied at 2/5 with Bet 365.
Despite winning their last two Europa League Conference matches, Silkeborg arrive in East London as big underdogs at 13/2 (Betfred) while the draw is also deemed unlikely at 4/1 (Bet 365).
Betting Angles
Backing the hosts to prevail at such a short price makes little appeal so I'll head to the Bet Builder market and merge West Ham to win, over one West Ham goal and over three West Ham corners at 20/23 (Bet 365).
With fixtures coming thick and fast, David Moyes will likely rotate his resources on Thursday night, something the Hammers chief has done to good effect in Europe this season to date.
As already alluded to, West Ham have won each of their four group games so far, scoring multiple goals on three occasions, one of which was in the reverse fixture in Scandinavia.
It's also worth highlighting that Moyes' men made light work of a similar standard of opposition at the preliminary stages of the competition in the shape of fellow Danish outfit Viborg.
What's more, West Ham have claimed top honours in each of their last three Premier League home matches, racking up two or more strikes in each of those outings.
As such, I'm happy to combine a home win and over one goal, but to round off the Bet Builder, I'll also back West Ham to hit over three corners.
The capital club are averaging over five flag kicks per-game in the Premier League this season, covering the 4+ line in three of their last four English top-flight fixtures.
With that in mind, as well as the fact that the above-mentioned combination has clicked in four of West Ham's six Conference League outings this season so far, supporting the same selection at the London Stadium looks the way to go at 20/23 with Bet 365.
