Dinamo Zagreb vs West Ham - LIVE!
West Ham’s European adventure gets underway in Croatia tonight as they take on Dinamo Zagreb on the opening night of the Europa League group stage.
At one stage late last season, the Hammers looked to have a genuine chance of finishing in the top four and earning a spot in the Champions League but their reward for an excellent campaign and a sixth-placed finish is a first European campaign beyond the qualifying rounds since 2006/07.
On that occasion, the Irons were knocked out in the first round of the Uefa Cup by Palermo, but this time they are guaranteed at least six matches, with home and away fixtures to come against Genk and Rapid Wien.
Up first, however, are a Dinamo side who excelled in last season’s competition, knocking out Tottenham with an epic comeback in the last-16 before losing to eventual champions Villarreal in the quarter-finals.
