UEFA Europa League picks for West Ham vs. Genk
Before you tune in to Thursday’s match, you need to see the Genk vs. West Ham picks from European soccer insider Martin Green. After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since then, his European soccer picks have been spot-on. Green has generated over $36,000 for $100 bettors since the 2017-18 season. He’s also been red-hot on his Champions League picks since joining SportsLine. In fact, Green is on a blistering 86-53-5 run on his UCL best bets. Anyone who has followed him is way up.
For West Ham vs. Genk, Green is backing West Ham to win on the 90-minute money line for a +105 payout. The Hammers are enjoying an incredible form across all competitions, having taken all nine points from their first three UEFA Europa League matches and sitting in a Champions League spot in fourth behind only Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City in the EPL table.
Through its first three UEL matches, West Ham is outscoring its opponents 7-0, while Genk has been outscored by its last two Europe League opponents 6-0 after beginning the campaign with a 1-0 win over Rapid Wien. With West Ham able to clinch a spot in the knockout rounds with a win, allowing it to rest its players in the last two matches and focus on the Premier League through the end of the year, Green likes West Ham to put out a strong squad and overpower Genk.
“The main problem for Genk is its defense. It has conceded more than two goals per game in the league this season and is coming off back-to-back 3-0 defeats in the Europa League,” Green told SportsLine. “If Moyes plays a strong team on Thursday, West Ham should pick up another comfortable win.”
