West Ham jet off to the continent safe in the knowledge that whatever happens in the next batch of Europa League fixtures on TV, they are into the knockout rounds.

The Hammers face Rapid Wien knowing that a victory would secure top spot in the group which would avoid a play-off clash against a fallen Champions League giant, but whatever happens, they are through.

David Moyes' men racked up three victories and three clean sheets with seven goals scored to open up their campaign, and clinched qualification with 2-2 draw against Genk.

Despite the high-flying Hammers' form, away fans won't be allowed to attend the game in Vienna after the club were slapped with a ban due to crowd trouble in Belgium for the Genk clash.

Rapid Wien are bottom of Group H but a victory here could thrust them right into the mix for the second qualification spot.

Our prediction: Rapid Wien v West Ham

West Ham are in dreamland this season. They're fourth in the Premier League, six points off the summit and cruising on the continental scene.

A shock defeat away to Wolves should be responded to with a strong display here, but Moyes can afford to rest one or two of his stars after sticking with a familiar line-up in almost every match to date.

A rotated XI still has enough quality to see off the Austrians here. Another clean sheet wouldn't go amiss either as West Ham aim to become a feared opponent for teams beyond their own national borders.

Our prediction: Rapid Wien 0-1 West Ham (15/2 at bet365)
