Bitesize Prediction: West Ham vs Dinamo Zagreb – 09/12/21

Competition: Europa League

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 7/10 @ 888sport

However, while they might be smelling a chance against a likely heavily-altered West Ham side here, caretaker boss Željko Kopić finds his side in the midst of a recent struggle. Now enduring back-to-back defeats against Hajduk Split and Rijeka, the Citizens have won just one of their previous six matchups from across all formats, a run that stems back to the start of November.
