Hammers can edge past visitors

Europa Conference League holders West Ham made the semi-finals of this competition in 2021-22 but suffered a setback before this crucial tie with a crushing 5-0 defeat at Fulham on Sunday.

Manager David Moyes said he was “embarrassed by the result and performance” but there were mitigating factors, namely illness within the camp. That aside, he will demand an improved display against a Freiburg team who have won their last three in all competitions without conceding.

The Bundesliga side made the last 16 of this competition last season before going out to Juventus and are a skilful and steely outfit.

Sunday’s defeat will have frustrated the Hammers and they could just sneak it. Their last four games in this competition have been settled by a single goal, including the reverse fixture at Europa-Park Stadion, and they could grab a vital victory.

Mercurial Paqueta worth chancing

West Ham’s top scorer in this competition is midfielder Lucas Paqueta, who netted the opening goal in Germany and also scored in both games against Olympiacos.

The mercurial Brazilian was withdrawn after 65 minutes at Fulham to keep him fresh for this game and looks certain to start on Thursday.

Skilful and smart, Paqueta occasionally looks almost too good for the Europa League and his quality looks set to shine through again.

Kudus can return net profit

Mohammed Kudus had already scored a hat-trick for Ajax in this competition before completing his move to West Ham.

As with Paqueta, Moyes took time to work out how best to utilise the Ghanaian and while he is now a regular in the Premier League, some of his best form has come in Europe.

The 23-year-old netted twice against Backa Topola and his clever movement and combinations with Paqueta and others around him make him a real candidate to find the net.
