West Ham United vs Silkeborg Prediction

West Ham United endured a slow start to their league season and currently find themselves 10th in the league table. They have won three of their last five league games, with seven points now separating them from fifth-placed Chelsea, who have played a game less.

98.6% - Declan Rice completed 69 of the 70 passes he attempted for West Ham United tonight (98.6%), the highest percentage completed by a West Ham player in a Premier League game on record (min. 50 passes attempted). Tidy. https://t.co/MtGwA98zrT

In the UEFA Europa Conference League, the Hammers have fared better. They have won all four games so far and are six points ahead of second-placed Silkeborg. Italian striker Gianluca Scamacca, signed last summer from Sassuolo for £32.4 million, has been symptomatic of West Ham United's contrasting fortunes in the league and in Europe; the 23-year old has been pivotal in Europe but is slowly getting acclimatized to the pace and demands of the Premier League.

What a performance from this man! ⚒️ https://t.co/gorXWVH8LA

Silkeborg, as mentioned above, are second in the group, two points ahead of Anderlecht. They have won two games in the competition so far, and their last two games against Romanian side FCSB saw them score five goals in each game.

West Ham United will be the favorites to win this game and maintain their top form in Europe.
