Having won the Conference League the previous season and advanced to the Europa League semifinals, David Moyes’ team is down 1-0 in the opening leg of their quest for more European glory.
But the result affects more than simply West Ham’s season.
In addition to Brighton, Wolves, Newcastle, Chelsea, and Aston Villa, domestic rivals Tottenham and Wolves will also be closely watching.
This is due to the possibility that the outcome will be significant in determining whether the nation receives an additional slot in Europe and one of Uefa’s highly sought-after new European performance positions.
Fifth position in the Champions League: West Ham vs. Freiburg could be important.
As West Ham takes on German team Freiburg in the Europa League last 16 on Thursday, they'll be aiming to advance to their third straight European quarterfinal.
