Key Highlights
West Ham United Looking to Come Back from a Goal Down to Prevail on Aggregate
West Ham warmed up for the home clash against Freiburg with a 2-2 home draw against relegation-threatened Burnley.
David Moyes’ men had to come back from behind, twice, to claim a point, after scoring in the 91st minute through Danny Ings to earn a 2-2 draw against Burnley on Sunday/.
Trailing 0-1 from the first leg in Germany, West Ham will look for a fast start and an energetic performance as they bid to come from behind to take the lead on aggregate.
Their form has shown signs of an upturn; they have won three matches without defeat in the league, with two wins and a draw, showing signs of solidity and cutting edge in the final third.
SC Freiburg Will Look to Hold on to their Lead in the Second Leg as they Eye the Quarter-Finals
Freiburg won away to Bochum (1-2) to make the perfect warmup for the trip to the London Stadium to face West Ham on Thursday.
However, Freiburg’s form in the Bundesliga has been patchy; they have won just once in the last five outings, drawing twice, and losing twice in the process.
The poor form has seen Freiburg drop to 8th on the table with 33 points, 14 points behind the top-four spot.
Freiburg will look to steady their away form when they visit West Ham on Thursday as they bid to hold on to or expand their aggregate lead and make it into the quarter finals.
