West Ham United are performing amazingly in this Europa League campaign. David Moyes’ team registered three consecutive wins to nil: Dinamo Zagreb (2:0), Rapid (2:0) and Genk (3:0). With nine points the Hammers lead in Group H. They can qualify to the play-offs stage in case of a victory in the upcoming match in Belgium.
