West Ham came close to winning a European trophy last year in the UEFA Europa League but they missed out to 2022 finalists, Eintracht Frankfurt. David Moyes' side is presented with another similar opportunity but this time in a much inferior competition: Europa Conference League, and their task is starting off with an easy fixture against AEK Larnaca. You should bet on the London side to win the first leg against AEK Larnaca for the following reasons;

FIRST REASON

West Ham is on a different level to AEK Larnaca and both teams are incomparable. West Ham had a great activity in the transfer market over the last two years and they ended up signing world class players that could've easily gone to Real Madrid or Barcelona. Lucas Paqueta was their star signing and he is one of the important players in the Brazilian national team. Gianluca Scamacca was another great addition to the attack and he is a player that takes the team to a new level. AEK Larnaca is just another average team from Cyprus and they aren't even the best team in their league. The difference between both teams is very clear and I don't see how the hosts would escape a defeat against a super West Ham team.

SECOND REASON

This is a very easy competition to the one West Ham played and they can beat almost 90% of the team here, AEK Larnaca inclusive. West Ham has won all six games so far in the Europa Conference League and I see them going for seven wins in seven games. AEK Larnaca struggled to make it past the last round, scoring only one goal over two legs against SC Dnipro-1. They aren't decent enough to earn an advantage here and they have lost two of their last four matches. David Moyes is under pressure in the Premier League and this game could result in a morale boosting win for the London team.

I sense a huge victory for West Ham here, there is a huge gap in quality between these two teams and AEK Larnaca has not been great recently, so I'm predicting the English side to get the win here.

西汉姆联去年在欧联杯中差点赢得欧洲冠军，但他们与2022年决赛入围者法兰克福队擦肩而过。莫耶斯的球队面临着另一个类似的机会，但这一次是在一个低得多的比赛中:欧洲联盟联赛，他们的任务是从对阵拉纳卡AEK的轻松比赛开始。你应该押注伦敦队在对阵拉纳卡AEK的首回合比赛中获胜，原因如下:

第一个原因

西汉姆联队和拉纳卡AEK处于不同的水平，两支球队都是不可比拟的。在过去的两年里，西汉姆联在转会市场上进行了大量的活动，他们最终签下了世界级的球员，这些球员本来可以很容易地去皇马或巴塞罗那。卢卡斯·帕奎塔是他们的明星签约，他是巴西国家队的重要球员之一。吉安卢卡·斯卡甲是进攻端的另一个伟大的补充，他是一名将球队带到一个新水平的球员。拉纳卡AEK只是来自塞浦路斯的另一支普通球队，他们甚至不是他们联赛中最好的球队。两支球队之间的差异是非常明显的，我不知道东道主如何能够逃脱对阵超级西汉姆联队的失败。

第二个原因

与西汉姆联相比，这是一场非常简单的比赛，他们可以击败几乎90%的球队，包括拉纳卡AEK。西汉姆联目前在欧联杯中六战全胜，我认为他们将在七场比赛中取得七胜。AEK Larnaca在对阵SC Dnipro-1的两回合比赛中只进了一个球，艰难地度过了最后一轮。他们没有足够的实力在这里赢得优势，他们在最近的四场比赛中输了两场。大卫·莫耶斯在英超联赛中面临压力，这场比赛可能会为伦敦球队带来鼓舞士气的胜利。

我感觉西汉姆联在这里取得了巨大的胜利，这两支球队在质量上有巨大的差距，而AEK拉纳卡最近表现不佳，所以我预测英格兰球队会在这里取得胜利。
