Freiburg vs West Ham betting tips

Man in form…

Who could back against Jarrod Bowen in this kind of form?

The 26-year-old has netted five goals and provided an assist in seven appearances for West Ham this season, and four in his last five competitive outings.

He's the main man at the London Stadium, and undoubtedly their most consistent source of goals. He's also something of a European specialist having scored nine times in 21 appearances in the Europa and Conference Leagues over the last few seasons.

  • Our tip: Jarrod Bowen to score anytime at 16/5 with Paddy Power -

Fast start…

Freiburg don't hang about. The Bundesliga side have scored a goal in four of their last five matches, and conceded twice in the opening 45 minutes of matches.

It's a similar story for West Ham, who've netted a first-half goal SEVEN times already this season. The pair are likely to field strong starting XI's and will look to make changes in the second half. Goals could come early in this one.

  • Our tip: Over 1.5 goals scored in the first half at 11/8 with Paddy Power -

Midfield battle…

It could be a congested battle in the middle of the park on Thursday and that could lead to more than a booking or two at fairly sizeable prices.

Edson Alvarez has already notched up four cautions in just 416 minutes of Premier League action, and only one player picked up more yellows in the Dutch Eredivisie last season.

  • Our tip: Edson Alvarez to be shown a card at 11/4 with Paddy Power -
