The Hammers were defeated 2-1 on home soil after falling behind after just 49 seconds. They will hope for a perkier start in Germany on Thursday or they could be cut adrift.

David Moyes' men are winless in four Premier League games and will hope to rediscover their touch when they head into one of the biggest games in the club's history.

Frankfurt haven't won in their last seven Bundesliga games but have been able to turn up to deliver when it matters. Victories over Barcelona and West Ham have punctuated their poor domestic form.

It looks set to be a bear-pit atmosphere at the 51,500-capacity Waldstadion. Who will cope with the occasion and land a killer blow that secures safe passage to the final?

Our prediction: Frankfurt v West Ham

West Ham's season all boils down to this. Their Premier League campaign is essentially a menial duel with Wolves for a Europa Conference League place, so they can afford to put all their eggs in this basket on Thursday.

The Hammers boast plenty of huge attacking weapons, Jarrod Bowen is the key match-winner Moyes will hope steps up to the plate and haul his team to a necessary victory, though Michail Antonio has been way off the boil for most of 2022.

Fitness and freshness will be crucial here with both teams approaching the end of a heavy campaign. Expect a cagey, tense affair, by no means a classic.

Our prediction: Frankfurt 1-1 West Ham (5/1 at Bet365)
