The match
Premier League West Ham United are undefeated this season. They travel to Dinamo Zagreb for their first Europa League group game. Also in this group are Genk and Rapid Vienna and West Ham will be confident of progressing. West Ham had topped the Premier League but are down to eighth after drawing at Southampton last weekend. Mikhail Antonio was sent off in that game but is available for this game. The Hammers will make changes with a busy period coming up including two games against Manchester United. Their last two games have both ended in a draw and five goals have so far been conceded this season.
Dinamo Zagreb were beaten by Sheriff Tiraspol in the Champions League but were unbeaten in their four home matches. They are top of the Croatian league and have only one defeat in their last 15 home league and cup games. They have kept clean sheets in their last games in all competitions. Last season saw them beat Tottenham in the Europa League and went 14 at home in that competiton unbeaten before a 1-0 loss to eventual winners Villarreal. They are likely to make life tough for West Ham and can be backed to get a win.
