Matchday 3 of the 2021-22 UEFA Europa League group stage will continue on Thursday when West Ham United of the English Premier League takes on KRC Genk of the Belgian First Division.

UEFA Europa League picks for West Ham vs. Genk
Before you tune in to Thursday’s match, you need to see the Genk vs. West Ham picks from European soccer insider Martin Green. After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since then, his European soccer picks have been spot-on. Green has generated over $36,000 for $100 bettors since the 2017-18 season. He’s also been red-hot on his Champions League picks since joining SportsLine. In fact, Green is on a blistering 86-53-5 run on his UCL best bets. Anyone who has followed him is way up.
For West Ham vs. Genk, Green is betting that we won’t see both teams score on Thursday (-106). West Ham is coming off its best Premier League finish since 1999 and got back on track after an unfortunate loss to Brentford at home before the international break with a 1-0 win over Everton on Sunday.
Genk has been spiraling since suffering a 3-0 loss at home to Dinamo Zagreb in Matchday 2 of the Europa League group stage. Genk has now lost three straight and been shut out in two of those matches.
“Genk is a team that likes to dominate possession, but it has not been direct enough and it often lacks creativity in the final third of the pitch,” Green told SportsLine. “West Ham really should prevail on Thursday. Juggling Europa League and Premier League commitments is always challenging, but the Hammers have an opportunity to sew up qualification for the knockout stage with games to spare.”
