Last five H2Hs: Freiburg confident of causing a shock

After winning both games in the group stages, West Ham travelled to Germany with confidence last week, only to end up tasting defeat. So, Freiburg are now the ones with their tails up heading into an away fixture, in what is just the third-ever meeting between these two teams.

West Ham preview: Hammers keen to avenge last week's loss

West Ham know they must overturn a one-goal deficit at the London Stadium or kiss goodbye to their European adventure. Having won 2-0 the last time Freiburg visited their home ground, Moyes' side will be more than confident of booking their spot in the next round.

Predicted lineup: Fabianski (GK) – Cresswell, Zouma, Mavropanos, Coufal – Alvarez, Soucek, Paqueta, Ward-Prowse, Bowen – Ings

Freiburg preview: Sights set on the quarter-finals

Freiburg caused a slight shock last Thursday when they came out victorious at home to West Ham by a one-goal margin. The German side have now lost just once in their last seven games, including a win against the Hammers and a draw at home to Bayern Munich.

Predicted lineup: Atubolu (GK) – Gunter, Kubler, Gulde, Sildillia – Hofler, Eggestein – Grifo, Doan – Sallai, Gregoritsch

Player to watch – Lucas Paqueta

The Brazilian international was a huge miss for West Ham earlier in 2024 with the Hammers drawing three and losing three games in a row when Lucas Paqueta was sidelined with a calf injury.

Paqueta to haunt Freiburg again?

Paqueta has already scored against Freiburg in the Europa League last season and it was quite a surprise to not see him either find the back of the net or register an assist last week. This is because he put up an XG of 0.5 and created three openings for his teammates.
