West Ham v Sevilla Betting Tips [17 March 2022]

West Ham United aim to retrieve a 1-0 deficit from the first leg when hosting Sevilla. This is the second leg of the last 16 of the Europa League and it's a match that is becoming increasingly important for the Hammers. Their hopes of a top four finish in the Premier League are diminishing, winning this competition might be their route into next season's Champions League. The Hammers beat Aston Villa at home last weekend, but that ended a run of three straight losses. In their group, West Ham had two home wins but then lost to Dinamo Zagreb, who Sevilla beat in the last 32. 

Sevilla have a great record in this competition and will do all they can to defend their 1-0 lead. They scored in the 60th minute of the first leg and maintained their highly impressive home record in the Europa League. Away form isn't so good with only one win in their last four games. Sevilla are second in La Liga and looking like making it into the Champions League next season. They are ten points behind league leaders Real Madrid but would be closer with better away form. They don't lose a lot though and have drawn eight of their away games in La Liga. Of 15 away league games this season, 14 have seen under 2.5 goals scored in them. Their last four away Europa League games have also seen that stat come up as did their three Champions League matches earlier in the season. They will keep it tight here and the tip is for under 2.5 goals in the match.
