In the return leg of the Europa League quarter-finals, West Ham will face Bayer Leverkusen in London. The match prediction for these teams has been prepared by Dailysports analysts.

West Ham

West Ham is enduring a crisis phase in the season. Following their defeat against Bayer in the first leg, the "Hammers" suffered a home loss to Fulham in the Premier League, tallying 0:2. This defeat pushed West Ham beyond the realms of the European competition zone, landing them in 8th place. In their last 5 Premier League matches, West Ham has secured only 1 victory - against Wolverhampton. Following this streak of setbacks, rumors have surfaced that West Ham's leadership aims to dismiss the team's head coach, David Moyes, and are considering the candidacy of the legendary José Mourinho as his successor.

Bayer Leverkusen

The entire world is captivated by the remarkable team under Xabi Alonso. On Sunday, Bayer displayed truly championship-level football, dismantling Werder with a scoreline of 5:0. This victory marked a historic first as the "pharmacists" clinched the Bundesliga in their 120-year history. An absolutely epic achievement that was unforeseen at the start of the season. Throughout the current Bundesliga season, Bayer has won 25 matches and only drawn 4 times. Impressive indeed.

Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history

• The initial game in Leverkusen concluded with Bayer's triumph with a score of 2:0.
• If Bayer avoids defeat against West Ham, they will set a record in top leagues for the most consecutive matches without losses in all competitions. Leverkusen has not lost any of their 43 matches this season.
• Bayer reached the Europa League semi-finals in the previous season, while West Ham played at this stage in the 2021/22 season.

West Ham vs Bayer Leverkusen prediction

There is little doubt that Bayer will secure the necessary result to advance to the semi-finals. However, after the emotions experienced by the players on Sunday, regrouping and delivering an impeccable performance against West Ham will be challenging. My bet is that both teams will score.
