West Ham vs Dinamo Zagreb: prediction for the Europa League match
In the closing match of the Europa League group stage West Ham will host Dinamo Zagreb. Will teams score many goals on December 9? The answer is in our prediction.
Command Analysis
West Ham United
EnglandWest Ham put up a great performance in the group stage of the Europa League and before the closing match team clinched a top spot in Group H. David Moyes' team conceded only two goals, their defense is one of the best in the tournament. The Hammers drew only once - in the fourth round match against Genk (2:2) at home, in all other matches team recorded victories. Londoners have some injuried players, so some reserve players may get playing time in the match against Dinamo.
Dinamo Zagreb
Croatia (Hrvatska)After five rounds Dinamo are 2nd in the standings, two points ahead of the nearest competitor. Zeljko Kopic's men need to pick up at least one point in the match against the London team to advance into the play-off stages. In the previous match Zagreb failed to beat Genk (1:1) at home, so now they need to fight for the play-off spot in the last match.

Tip and bets
West Ham looked great in all group stage matches, so they will try to at least avoid defeat in the final match, but visitors will be more motivated. But it won't be easy for the visitors to get a victory at London - the Hammers will punish the opponent for a mistake, so Croatian side needs to put up a good defensive performance.
We don't think that someone will force things - a draw will be a good results for both sides, so teams will perform cautiously and will try to avoid injuries before the winter break. We are not expecting many goals to be scored in this match, so we offer to place a bet on total under.
Our prediction - total under 2.5 goals
West Ham are lacking motivation, so in our opinion, it will help the visitors. The Hammers won't go all the way ahead, as they did at the start of the group stage and the head coach won't risk his first-team players. Dinamo also won't push all the way forward, because Londoners can punish them for it. We think that teams will play cautiously, so Zagreb team has a chance to pick up points in this game.
Our second bet is on Dinamo to not lose
