It already looks like there is no place like home for West Ham, even though they have been at the London Stadium for just a few weeks.

The Hammers have won their opening two competitive games at their new ground without conceding a goal.

They are red-hot favourites with BetVictor to make it three wins out of three at home when they face Astra Giurgiu in the second leg of their Europa League qualifying play-off.

Slaven Bilic's team are 4-11 to secure victory in 90 minutes while the Romanian side trade at 17-2 and the draw is 4s.

West Ham should qualify with ease against a team who were beaten 5-1 in their previous match and are struggling domestically with just one win from their opening five matches of the Romanian season. The Hammers, who were held to a 1-1 draw in the first leg, are 23-10 to win with at least three goals being scored in the match and 6-5 to prevail without conceding a goal (extra time does not count for either bet).

You can get 25-1 on West Ham winning the Europa League in a market headed by Manchester United, who are an industry-best 8-1 with BetVictor.
