Super Computer shares West Ham chances of winning Europa League
West Ham are predicted to reach the final of the Europa League, but eventually, lose out to RB Leipzig.
After an impressive run that saw the Hammers beat Sevilla as well as Lyon, they’re expected to get the job done over Eintracht Frankfurt.
FiveThirtyEight’s Super Computer has given them a 57 per cent chance of beating the Bundesliga side.
However, when it comes to winning the tournament, West Ham just have a 20 per cent chance.
Leipzig are understood to be the overwhelming favourites for both the semi-finals as well as the final.
Rangers have been handed the least chance with only 10 per cent probability.
Underdogs
The Hammers will be favourites for the semi-final and that’s something they will take pride in.
For the games against Sevilla and Lyon, few would’ve given them a chance, but they managed to come through those ties unscathed.
David Moyes showed that his players can rise to the occasion and beat any team that comes their way.
If they are to face Rangers in the final, then they will be the favourites in the all British affair.
However, if it’s Leipzig, they will go as the underdogs and that will suit them.
The players have played with that extra desire and hunger in these sorts of matches all season and could do the same for the final as well.
In other West Ham news, the Hammers have scouted a £20m-rated ‘Dangerous’ British striker and want to seal a permanent move this summer.
