West Ham United are set to play Silkeborg at the London Stadium on Thursday in the group stage of the UEFA Europa Conference League.
West Ham United come into this game on the back of a 2-0 win over Bournemouth in the English Premier League. Goals from French centre-back Kurt Zouma and Algerian winger Said Benrahma secured the win for David Moyes' West Ham United.
Silkeborg, on the other hand, lost 3-2 to Jens Berthel Askou's Horsens in the Danish Superliga. Goals from Gambian centre-back James Gomez, Icelandic winger Aron Sigurdarson and attacker Anders Jacobsen sealed the deal for Horsens. Young winger Sebastian Jorgensen scored a brace from Silkeborg, who had centre-back Tobias Salquist sent off in the second-half.

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.
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.
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.
