West Ham United will be looking to maintain their 100% record in the Conference League this season when they play AEK Larnaca on Thursday night at home.
The Hammers come into this game on the back of a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa, which extended their unbeaten run at home to four games. Although David Moyes' side are currently fighting for survival in the Premier League, they have always found a way to win in Europe. Starting from the playoffs, West Ham United have won all nine of their last matches in this competition. Given that Michail Antonio who scored a brace in the first leg of this tie is also reported to have recovered from his injury, the hosts are favorites for a win.
As far as Larnaca are concerned, they started 2023 well, but the tide has quickly turned in recent weeks. To put that in perspective, the visitors have won just one of their last six games across all competitions. Considering that they have not equally been good travellers of late, three away games without a win, they will need a miracle to beat West Ham in London.
West Ham vs AEK Larnaca Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Even though survival in the English Premier League is a priority, David Moyes will expect his boys to give everything for a win in this competition, both for glory and for a place in the Europa League next season.
Larnaca have won only two of their nine European games since September, and with six of those games ending with less than 2.5 goals, a 2-0 win for the hosts is the most likely result of this match.

West Ham Team News
Michail Antonio, who is West Ham United's top scorer this season with eight goals, was absent from last weekend's draw against Aston Villa in the Premier League due to injury, so he is a doubt for this game.
First-choice goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski has missed the last four games due to the injury he picked up against Nottm Forest last month and will be unavailable, as will Vladimir Coufal.

Luís Gustavo Ledes saw a red card in Monday night's defeat to Apollon in the Cypriot First Division, but the midfielder, who has yet to score a goal this season, would be available for this match.
Bruno Gama and Andreas Paraskevas were absent from that game due to Achilles tendon and cruciate ligament injuries, respectively, and are out this week.
