Viborg will welcome West Ham United at the Energi Viborg Arena on Thursday evening as they look to overturn a 3-1 deficit from the first leg in the UEFA Europa Conference League. The Danish side suffered a 1-0 loss at the hands of Randers last weekend. Similarly, the Hammers were beaten 2-0 by Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League recently. Hence, we can expect both sides to be eager to put on a good showing in this European clash in midweek.
