the second Europa League game in a row, Lucas Paqueta breached the Olympiacos backline for West Ham, and unlike in October’s 2-1 defeat to the Greek giants in Piraeus, the
Brazilian had the final say with his solitary strike on Thursday.After 73 minutes of frustration at the London Stadium, Paqueta’s
drive settled a closely-fought battle with Olympiacos as West Ham avenged their loss to Diego Martinez’s side on matchday three, while also leaving them requiring just one win from
their final two games to assure themselves of a place in the knockout round playoffs at the very least.Since the start of the month, cup
competitions have provided West Ham with a much-needed escape from their downturn in Premier League fortunes, as a 3-1 beating of
Arsenal in the EFL Cup preceded a painful 3-2 loss to Brentford, who came from 2-1 down to sent the Hammers home empty-handed on

gameweek 12, and the Irons’ last two wins have both come against newly-promoted teams in the shape of Luton Town and
Sheffield United.In fact, out of West Ham’s last 34 Premier League games against non-newly promoted sides, the Europa Conference League holders have only triumphed in six of
them, and their perfect record of scoring in every top-flight home match in 2023 was snapped by Everton at the end of October.
