West Ham take on the visitors Viborgin the first leg of UEFA Conference League qualification finals. The match will be played on Thursday, August 18th at London Stadium (London).
West Ham will play at the international level for the second season in a row. The "Hammers" had made their way in European competition before. But it was, such an impression, not particularly interesting to them: the London club was always eliminated in qualifications. It is all the more interesting that under David Moyes the attitude changed. His wards, starting in qualifying in the summer, won the group, knocked out the experienced Sevilla and Lyon in the playoffs, and only in the semi-final lost to the future winner of the Europa League, Eintracht. Most likely, even now the “Hammers” will use a benchwarmers in this tournament, fortunately, there are enough of them now.

Viborg haven't spent many years in the Danish elite division. Including only recently they were able to return to the Super League. But at the same time, the asset already has domestic cup and a Super Cup (both in 2000). The last championship was first completed at the bottom of the tournament. But at the same time, in relegation they were first won among the outsiders. And then they beat Aalborg in the game for qualifying to the Conference League. On the opponent's field, the match ended in a draw, and in the penalty shootout, the outsider turned out to be better. It was a good start in the new championship. And, most importantly, the wards of Jacob Friis were able to show themselves well in qualifying. First, both matches with Suduva ended with an identical score of 1-0. And then even more confidently the Danes knocked out Torshavn. Already beaten at home devastatingly, 3-0. But at the same time, a week ago, Viborg managed to win in the Faroe Islands, albeit more modestly, 2-1.
West Ham are still a modest team in England, and there, as a rule, 6 out of 7 European Cup places are occupied by giants. And Viborg did not shine even at the level of Denmark. So the parties will meet on the football field for the first time. West Ham hardly use the main clip. But the last European season showed that the British have a depth in the squad. We bet on their victory with a handicap of "-1.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: West Ham to win with -1.5 handicap.
