West Ham United kick off their UEFA Europa League campaign against FCSB on Thursday evening as they welcome the visitors to London Stadium. The Hammers come into the match on the back of a 2-1 defeat against Chelsea whereas FCSB won 3-1 against Farul in the Romanian top flight.
Both the teams have had a dismal start to their domestic campaign as the Hammers are occupying a spot in the Premier League relegation zone and FCSB find themselves toward the bottom half of the Liga 1 in Romania.
West Ham United Vs FCSB: Talking Tactics
David Moyes would probably opt for a 3-4-1-2 formation allowing Michael Antonio to continue the striking partnership with Jarod Bowen. He could also name a three-man defence including Thilo Kehrer, Kurt Zouma and Emerson Palmieri at the heart of West Ham’s backline.
Nicolae Dica would opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation with Andrea Campagno keeping his place up top as he fancies his chances of finding the back of the net against the Hammers’ defence.
