West Ham take on Belgian side Gent in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday night.
Gent play host to West Ham in the Europa Conference League quarter-final first-leg clash this week.
The Hammers head out to Belgium on the back of a vital three points against Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday.
David Moyes has performed really poorly domestically in his role as West Ham manager this season. However, things could not have been more different in Europe.
The East London outfit have won all 10 of our European games this season – an incredible feat really, regardless of our opponents’ lack of real quality.
However, Gent will represent a test unlike any that we’ve faced on the continent so far this season…
Bad news for West Ham ahead of Gent Europa Conference League clash
The Belgian side have hit a really good run of form at just the right time for them – and the wrong time for the Hammers!
Gent have lost one match in all competitions since February 16th. Our Europa League opponents have won five and drawn two of their last seven outings.
During those seven games, Gent have scored an incredible 21 goals and conceded only five.
The Belgian outfit really are in fine form. In 26 home games in all competitions this season, Gent have lost only three games.
The size of the task on hand for West Ham against Gent is clear and obvious to see in my eyes. It definitely won’t be a stroll in the park for the Hammers.
The Ghelamco Arena also known as the KAA Gent Stadium holds 20,000 people, It’s a tight pitch with a notoriously boisterous and intimidating atmosphere.
Any kind of result for West Ham out in Belgium will be a big positive in my eyes.
