Europa League – West Ham vs Sevilla Prediction - bettingexpert
The West Ham vs Sevilla matchup is one of the most interesting ones of the 2021/22 Europa League Round of 16. West Ham is the only Premier League side left in the Europa League. They do have aspirations to go all the way, but will still have to go through one of the competition’s favourites.
Sevilla has won the Europa League, and formerly the UEFA Cup, a record six times so far. The feat is even more impressive when you realise that they won all of these trophies during the last 16 seasons.

West Ham vs Sevilla Recent Form
West Ham lost three games in a row until the most recent weekend Premier League matchup. The Hammers finally recorded a win after losing two domestic league games in a row. Aston Villa fell victim to West Ham at the London Stadium. The first goal came late into the match when Andrii Yarmolenko scored in the 70th minute. It was soon followed by a Pablo Fornals effort to make it two for the Hammers. Ramsey pulled one back for Villa in the 90th minute, but it was a little bit too late.
West Ham remains sixth in the Premier League table, two points behind Manchester United.
Sevilla hasn’t lost a game in the last four outings. However, they only have two wins out of those four games. Most recently, they dropped points in the La Liga by playing 1:1 against Rayo Vallecano. Bebe gave Los Vallecanos the lead at the start of the second half, but Thomas Delaney pulled through with an equaliser to earn Sevillistas a point.
