Preview
After three successive defeats across competitions; West Ham returned to winning ways on Sunday with a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa in the EPL.
Late goals from Yarmolenko and Fornals helped West Ham pip Villa; who pulled one back through Ramsey but it wasn’t enough.
It was quiet an emotional return for Yarmolenko after recent off-field matters took a toll on him as the Ukrainian helped his side win.
This win kept West Ham close to the top 4 with 48 points; 3 points shy of 4th place, Arsenal.
On the other hand, Sevilla drew 1-1 away to Rayo Vallecano in their previous La Liga clash on Sunday.
Bebe and Delaney scored for either side to ensure a share of the spoils; as Sevilla dropped yet another two points.
With 56 points, they remain 2nd in the league table and hope to translate more single points into maximum ones.
Haddadi’s sole effort was the difference between the two sides last week when the 1st leg was played out.
West Ham need to build on the weekend’s win if they are to progress to the next round of the Europa League.

Prediction: West Ham 2-0 Sevilla
The Hammers tend to do well at home and will be confident on overturning the slim deficit.
Sevilla’s inconsistencies have found a pattern of win followed by losses and this does harm to their chances of progressing.
West Ham would be buoyed by the weekend win and we expect their fanfare to help them with their support in winning this contest.
Players to watch out for: Fornals, Rice, En-Nesyri and Corona.
