The two teams played out a 1-1 draw in Belgium last week, with the hosts unfortunate not to be travelling back to London this week holding an advantage.

The tie is now delicately poised, yet West Ham should take all of the positives from the draw with their current run of results now seeing just one defeat in eight matches.

Securing a comeback 2-2 draw with Premier League leaders Arsenal on Sunday has further eased the pressure on David Moyes, whose team now sit four points clear of the relegation zone.

With extra breathing space in their favour, the Hammers can now focus on trying to go deeper in this competition having put together an 11-game unbeaten run on the continental stage.

Meanwhile, Gent have won just four times since the beginning of the group stage, losing three times and needing penalties to see off Qarabag FK in the last 32.

However, there is a feeling that Gent are the dark horses to lift the trophy having beaten Istanbul Basaksehir in the last 16 and showcased their qualities in the first leg against West Ham.

Back-to-back draws in the Jupiler Pro League against Union SG and Mechelen have slowed their momentum, but they remain in the final Championship playoff spot.

Hein Vanhaezebrouck’s side require a victory over 17th-placed KV Oostende to secure fourth place, yet their full focus will be on this competition as they bid to move closer to the most notable achievement in their history.

West Ham United vs. KAA Gent Head to head

These two teams have only previously met on one occasion in the first leg of their Europa Conference League quarter-final tie last Thursday, where they played out a 1-1 draw.

With Angelo Ogbonna serving a one-game suspension, Kurt Zouma should return to the West Ham defence, and Moyes will give consideration to further alterations from the first leg.

Lucas Paqueta may return to take the place of Ben Johnson, while Said Benrahma could also get the nod in the final third, and goakeeper Alphonse Areola will return in goal.

KAA Gent Team News

Having made several changes at the weekend, Gent manager Vanhaezebrouck is expected to select a team similar to that from the first leg.

Although Matisse Samoise got on the scoresheet from right wing-back against KV Mechelen, Alessio Castro-Montes should return there on Thursday with Malick Fofana taking his place on the opposite flank.
