UEFA Europa League picks for West Ham United vs. Dinamo Zagreb
Before you tune in to Thursday's match, you need to see the Dinamo Zagreb vs. West Ham picks from soccer insider Jon Eimer. He is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge about leagues and players most people don't know exist, including most oddsmakers. He understands that oddsmakers don't focus on obscure leagues, so he has become obsessed with learning everything possible about smaller leagues. The Indiana-based handicapper compiled a winning record of 260-133-1 with over 90 units of profit for his community on various platforms over a recent two-month stretch. Anyone who has followed him is way up.
For West Ham vs. Dinamo Zagreb, Eimer is backing Dinamo Zagreb to win or draw at a -115 payout. West Ham has not only already locked up a spot in the next round, but it has also already won Group H. Thus, it has nothing to play for on Thursday and could use the game as an opportunity to rest key players.
On the other hand, with second-place Dinamo Zagreb just two points clear of the third-place team, it needs a win or draw to guarantee advancement to the Round of 16. A loss plus a Racing Genk win over last-place Rapid Vienna would end Dinamo Zagreb's quest for its first Europa League or Champions League title.
With the contrasting motivations for both squads, Eimer believes Dinamo Zagreb can grab at least one point on Thursday if not win the match. Eimer also points out that West Ham is in the hunt for its first-ever Premier League title and wouldn't want to jeopardize its chances by using its star players on Thursday.
"West Ham has just broken the important top four in Premier League and has five more EPL matches and an EFL Quarterfinal to play this month, six games that honestly are all more important for the club than this matchup against Dinamo," Eimer told SportsLine." These matches also present what should be decently easy points to grab, so I believe West Ham will save all its firepower to continue an already impressive stint in the Premier League this year."
