West Ham are on the road this week when they travel to Belgium for a Europa League game against Genk. The Hammers are top of Group H, with nine points from three games. Genk are bottom, but only on goal difference, as the teams in second and third have the same points total, a respectable three. The Hammers have been tremendous for much of the season. They presently sit in the Premier League's top four and carry a five-game winning streak into this contest. One of those victories was in the reverse fixture versus Genk. Jarrod Bowen was among the scorers in a comfortable 3-0 victory. West Ham are unbeaten away from home this season, a run of seven games that features six wins. David Moyes may consider changing his team given their lofty position. However, it could also be viewed as an opportunity to seal the top spot.
Genk were in a bad way when West Ham beat them. That defeat was one in a streak of five. They ended it in emphatic style, scoring six against a lower-league outfit in the Belgian Cup. But the level of the opposition wasn't the only reason for that high goal return. They repeated the trick at the weekend in the league, winning 6-2 away to Zulte Waregem. We expect a motivated Genk to give the Hammers a much sterner test this time around. Back Genk draw no bet.
