UEFA Europa League picks for Lyon vs. West Ham
Before you tune in to Thursday's match, you need to see the West Ham vs. Lyon picks from soccer insider Jon Eimer. He is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, Eimer has covered the English Premier League, Serie A, FA Cup and much more. The Indiana-based handicapper compiled a winning record of 260-133-1 with over 90 units of profit for his community on various platforms over a recent two-month stretch.
For West Ham vs. Lyon, Eimer is backing both teams to score for a -130 payout. This is a battle between two teams with similar profiles, as each side has a well-balanced attack but have struggled at times to stay organized defensively. West Ham's 51 goals scored are the fifth-most in the Premier League, but it has conceded 40 times, while Lyon has scored 43 times in Ligue 1 while yielding 39.
This is the first meeting ever between these two clubs, but don't expect them to take their time feeling each other out. Both teams play quickly in the buildup and are in solid goal-scoring form, with West Ham scoring seven times in its last seven games, while Lyon has scored 11 times in its last six matches.
West Ham and Lyon have struggled to keep a clean sheet of late. West Ham has just one shutout in its last seven matches, while Lyon only has two in its last eight matches. This has the makings of a wide-open, back-and-forth match between the two teams that lead the Europa League in expected goal differential this season (Lyon 8.5, West Ham 8.2).
