West Ham to Win
The stage has been set for West Ham to produce a good display in front of their fans while they are aiming to move into the last four of Europe's Conference League which would be a terrific accomplishment for a team that has struggled for much of the season in the Premier League. For this West Ham vs Gent prediction, the home team takes the cake with the first leg finishing without a winner. The Hammers are looking to add some value to their season, especially when it comes to their European adventure. Gent will have something to say in this encounter, but it is doubtful how the Belgian team will respond to facing a Premier League club under the circumstances that they are not used to in their country.
Over 2.5 Goals
West Ham had three out of their last five home matches with more than two goals scored, and looking to add another high-scoring performance will be the way to go for coach David Moyes and his players. Gent had similar results in away matches but with even more goals scored. Three out of their past five outings went over the mark, and some of the games produced quite a high-flying action when it comes to goals being scored. They had a 6-2 drubbing of Waregem (6-2), Basaksehir (4-1), and Seraing (5-0). So, as it looks like ahead of the West Ham vs Gent duel, the Belgians are not afraid to attack their opponent when they are the guest team.

Team News, Preview, and West Ham vs Gent Lineups
West Ham
The London outfit had a decent weekend managing to draw against Arsenal in the Premier League, only three days after they got the same result at Gent in their first-leg action of the Conference League. However, that kind of result is not good enough, or rather for their ambitions, and coach David Moyes is well aware that his team has a terrific chance of advancing to the semifinals of a European competition. Gianluca Scamacca s the only player missing for the Hammers.
Possible lineup: Fabianski, Cresswell, Kehrer, Zouma, Coufal, Rice, Soucek, Benrahma, Paqueta, Bowen, Antonio.
Gent
The Belgian's side's unbeaten run stretches to nine games after they drew in their domestic championship over the weekend against Mechelen. They are far away from any title aspirations, so focusing on the return leg against West Ham is the team's priority. Andrew Hjulsager is injured while Darko Lemajic is doubtful to play.
Possible lineup: Roef, Torunarigha, Okumu, Piatkowski, Castro-Montes, Fofana, De Sart, Kums, Hong, Cuypers, Orban.
Starting lineups
