Genk kickstarted the Europa League with confidence by defeating Rapid Wien 1-0, but that has since been followed up by two defeats which have sunk them to the bottom of Group H.
Both of those games resulted in 3-0 losses, with Dinamo Zagreb and West Ham United picking up points comfortably against them, which is something that John van den Brom would like to change.
The last meeting between these teams saw the Hammers perform dominantly, with goals from Craig Dawson, Issa Diop and Jarrod Bowen helping to secure the victory.

The past three matches have seen the team score 12 goals, showcasing their ability in front of goal which needs to be transferred into this competition, where they have found the back of the net just once.
West Ham United have also won every game they have played since their last Europa League fixture, and there have been some important results in that time for the Hammers.
David Moyes guided his team to a derby victory over Tottenham Hotspur, while they also knocked Manchester City out of the EFL Cup, which was most recently followed up by a 4-1 win against Aston Villa.

Moyes has yet to see his team concede a goal in the competition, which is a testament to how defensively solid they have been, and facing a team short of goals in Group H will potentially see that continue
