West Ham returns their focus to the Europa Conference League and they will be hoping for a great finish so as to participate in the European competitions next season. They have given themselves some breathing space in the English Premier League and now they will be looking to take advantage in this game just before the second leg next week. AZ Alkmaar heads to London as huge underdogs and I don't see them taking points off West Ham. My recommended betting pick in this game is a win or draw for David Moyes' team. Here's why you should bet on this option;

FIRST REASON

West Ham was initially set to play in the Europa League but they couldn't make it in that competition and they dropped to the conference league where they are easily the favorite to win this tournament. They have the best squad in the Europa Conference League and most of the teams in this competition are not on their level especially when you compare their individual players. They have gone through the knockout in very convincing fashion and I think they should be able to get past AZ Alkmaar at home. The Hammers are a very strong team at home and they beat Manchester United 1-0 just last week. With a good team and the home crowd behind them, West Ham is expected to take a good lead against AZ Alkmaar in this clash.

SECOND REASON

AZ Alkmaar's performances on the road have been far from convincing and they have failed to score in their last two away matches. Pascal Jansen's team fell 2-0 to Anderlecht a few weeks ago in the Europa Conference League and they are facing a more deadly team which is bad news for them. West Ham is playing with far more experience in this competition after their run in the Europa League last year and they can get a much needed win against an inexperienced AZ Alkmaar team. I don't see AZ Alkmaar breaking their poor away run in London and you should bet on the Hammers to take the lead in this game.

西汉姆联把他们的注意力放在了欧联杯上，他们希望能有一个好的结局，以便参加下赛季的欧洲联赛。他们在英超联赛中给了自己一些喘息的空间，现在他们将在下周的次回合比赛之前的这场比赛中占据优势。阿兹·阿尔克马尔将带着巨大的劣势前往伦敦，我不认为他们能从西汉姆联身上拿分。在这场比赛中，我推荐的赌注是大卫·莫耶斯的球队赢或平。以下是为什么你应该押注这个选项;

第一个原因

西汉姆原本打算参加欧联杯，但他们没能进入欧联杯，他们被降级到联盟杯，在那里他们很容易成为欧联杯的夺冠热门。他们拥有欧联杯中最好的阵容，但大多数参加这项比赛的球队都没有达到他们的水平，尤其是当你比较他们的个人球员时。他们以令人信服的方式通过了淘汰赛，我认为他们应该能够在主场击败阿尔克马尔。铁锤帮在主场是一支非常强大的球队，他们上周刚刚1-0击败了曼联。在一支优秀的球队和主场球迷的支持下，西汉姆联有望在这场比赛中领先阿尔克马尔。

第二个原因

阿尔克马尔在客场的表现远不能令人信服，他们在最近的两场客场比赛中都没有进球。帕斯卡·詹森的球队在几周前的欧联杯比赛中0 - 2不敌安德莱赫特，他们面对的是一支更加致命的球队，这对他们来说是个坏消息。在经历了去年的欧联杯之后，西汉姆联在欧联杯的比赛中有了更多的经验，他们可以在对阵经验不足的阿尔克马尔的比赛中获得一场急需的胜利。我不认为阿尔克马尔能在伦敦打破他们糟糕的客场战绩，你应该赌铁锤会在这场比赛中领先。
