West Ham - Freiburg: Form Analysis
West Ham may well come into this game trailing 1-0 from the first leg in Germany, but David Moyes' team have every reason to be upbeat. Not only did they win the Europa Conference League last season, going the entire competition unbeaten, but the loss to Freiburg was only their second this season in the Europa League. The Hammers have also not tasted defeat in any of their last three Premier League games, earning two-goal wins over Brentford (4-2) and Everton (3-1) and they came from 2-0 down at the weekend at home to Burnley to draw 2-2. Once area of concern may be that they have won just one of their last five Premier Games at home, drawing three, but that is less of an issue in Europe where the Hammers have won all their home games over the last couple of years.
The Hammers may also gain confidence when they learn that SC Freiburg's away form this season has been pretty poor. In the Bundesliga, they have won four, drawn one and lost eight game, scoring just 12. goals in those 13 games, conceding 26. They lost just once away from home in Europe, but that came at West Ham, and they drew 0-0 away to Lens in the last round before earning a 3-2 win at home. They did achieve success on the road at the weekend in the Bundesliga, ending a run of four successive away defeats with a 2-1 win at Bochum, but that is just their second win in their last ten games home and away in the Bundesliga. The German side's away goals total of 12 in the Bundesliga is the joint 6th fewest scored by a team in the Bundesliga. They have also conceded 12 goals when away from home in their last five Bundesliga games.

West Ham & Freiburg Squad Analysis
David Moyes has just a couple of injury concerns ahead of the game with SC Freiburg on Thursday Night in the Europa League. Left back Emerson Palmieri missed the draw with Burnley at the weekend after picking up a knock in the first leg and he has a 50/50 chance of being fit for the second leg. If not Aaron Cresswell will likely deputise for the Brazilian once again. Midfielder Maxwell Cornet is less likely to feature, although the former Lyon midfielder is not too far from a return from a hamstring injury he sustained on the eve of the game with Brentford a couple of weeks back. He is more likely to be fit for West Ham's Premier League clash at home to Aston Villa on Sunday than for Thursday's game. Edson Alvarez, Lucas Paqueta and Emerson Palmieri are all just one booking away from missing the quarter final first leg should the Hammers come through this tie.
Visitors SC Freiburg have a number of injury concerns for this game and several players are likely to miss out. Midfielder Daniel Kofi-Kyereh is out with a cruciate knee ligament injury, but isn't too far off from a return. Meanwhile Kenneth Schmidt is another close to a return to action after an abdominal issue has kept the centre back out since November. Max Rosenfelder is another probably a couple of weeks off coming back but centre back Philipp Lienhart will be out a while longer after his groin surgery back in January. Striker Roland Sallai and Lucas Holer both could miss the next game if they receive another booking in the second leg against the Hammers on Thursday. Austrian striker Michael Gregoritsch has netted five goals in seven Europa League games this season and will be the German's biggest threat in attack.
