The stage is set at the London Stadium where West Ham United face a crucial encounter with Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Europa League's quarterfinal second leg. After a challenging 2-0 away defeat, the Hammers are fired up to flip the script under the bright lights of home advantage. Leverkusen, riding the wave of Bundesliga success, approach the match with confidence, especially after their commanding 5-0 victory last weekend. Yet, West Ham's record at home against German teams in the UEFA Europa League could be a harbinger of a spirited fightback. Leverkusen’s less stellar record on English soil adds another layer of intrigue. As both sides prepare to clash, the anticipation builds for a match that's about much more than just progress; it's about pride, strategy, and the sheer thrill of European competition.
