There's no exiting this stadium without a winner tonight as it's the second leg of the Europa League Quarter-finals meeting between Olympique Lyonnais and West Ham United. Game on!

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Olympique Lyonnais and West Ham United.

6 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses. That’s the product of West Ham United playing as the away team in the Premier League this season. When we have look at the Europa League statistics, we find 5W-2D-2L. This is both home and away.

West Ham United lost away at Brentford (0-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Rice got a match rating of 7.42 in that game, top player of the team. Rice dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 80 successful passes (of 85 total).

West Ham United are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, one draw and four defeats. From a total of six matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as West Ham are hosting Burnley in the Premier League only three days away.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
