Olympiacos will be looking for a second straight win in Europe when they travel to London this week to face West Ham United on matchday 4 of the Europa League group stage.
West Ham United travelled to Brentford last weekend, looking to end a run of three league games without a win. David Moyes' side lost 2:3, their fourth defeat in five matches. Difficult spells were common last season for the Hammers but they made up for it in Europe. But this season they have already suffered one defeat in Europe - the 1:2 loss to Olympiacos in the reverse fixture which ended their run of 17 unbeaten games in Europe.
Olympiacos meanwhile hosted PAOK in the Greek Super League last weekend, looking to record their fourth consecutive home win in all competitions. Diego Martínez's side went into half-time trailing by one goal and were unable to make up the deficit in the second half, losing 2:4.
West Ham United vs Betting Tips: West Ham to win & BTTS
West Ham United are a very good team on a good day, especially at home. The Hammers beat Arsenal at home last week in the last 16 of the EFL Cup and also have a good home record in Europe. Clean sheets have been rare for Moyes' side in recent European games however, as they did not finish any of their last four games without conceding a goal.
Olympiacos suffered just one defeat in their last seven games but their record in Europe is not good. The win in the reverse fixture in Greece was the visitors' first victory in 12 Europa League games. Both teams scored a goal in each of the last three encounters.
- Best Tip: Home win
