In tonight's UEFA Europa League quarterfinal first leg, the Hammers will face Alkmaar (AZ) at home. The Hammers are almost home in the Premier League and have no more worries. They have won 11 of their 12 matches in the UEFA Europa League this year and have been in great form, so a home win against Alkmaar, who have a depleted squad, is a good choice. (Live on Now 645 at 3 a.m. Friday)
Although Westham's overall performance this season is not as good as the previous two years, fortunately, they beat Manchester United to move up to the 15th place in the league, so basically there is not much problem to protect the relegation, and they can focus on competing for the UEFA Champions League. The Hammers made it to the last 4 of the European competition for the second consecutive year. Last year, they were knocked out by Eintracht Frankfurt, who eventually became the champion of the European competition, but this year, they made a comeback in the UEFA Europa League, and their performance was superb. Together with their outing, they won 11 victories and 1 draw in 12 appearances without a loss, and striker Michal Antonio scored 6 goals, including two in the second round of the 8-team round against Gent, while center midfielder Lucas Pacqueda scored a goal and assisted twice. To help the team back to win 4-1, two rounds won 5-2 to advance, win very convincing, this time with the advantage of the home field, it is worth watching.
On the other hand, Alkmaar's performance in the UEFA Europa League this year is not bad either. In addition to knocking out Lazio in the round of 16, they faced Andréchy in the round of 8, and after losing by two goals in the first round, they relied on Pavledis to equalize the game in the second round, and ultimately got through the game by exchanging shots from the 12-yard box. However, Pavledis was injured in that match, and although he returned to action against Ajax in the league a few days ago, he was obviously not on the ball.
