West Ham United are enjoying a good run in the season so far and as they prepare to take on Rapid Vienna on Match Day 2 of the Europa League, they will be keen on extending their lead in Group H. They have three points after a 2-0 opening win over Dinamo Zagreb away while Rapid Vienna are still in search of their first points, having lost 1-0 at home to Genk. West Ham forward Michail Antonio is back and in business; he scored the winner over the weekend as they came from down to beat Leeds United 2-1. That was Antonio’s sixth goal this season. West Ham have scored two or more goals in five of their eight matches this season and have also won five of the eight. Five of the eight matches have ended in over 2.5 goals.

Rapid Vienna are coming from a 3-0 loss to Sturm Graz in the Austria Bundesliga and will hope for a positive result here. They have four losses and just one win in their last five matches. A very poor run has seen Rapid Vienna fail to score in three of their last four matches and they’ve conceded two or more goals in three of their last five matches. Rapid Vienna had a trip to London last season to play Arsenal in Europa League, and will be hoping this time it gets better after suffering a 4-1 defeat back then. They have no clean sheet in 14 Europa League games away from home and just two wins in eight away games in the competition. Both teams have scored in six of their last eight Europa League away matches.
