West Ham United travel to the Netherlands to lock horns with AZ Alkmaar at the AFAS Stadion for the second leg of their Europa Conference League semi-final on Thursday night.
Both teams still have dreams of reaching next month's showpiece event in Prague against either Basel or Fiorentina, but it is the Hammers who hold the advantage courtesy of their 2-1 first-leg victory at the London Stadium. Fresh from their five-star performance in the Eredivisie last weekend, AZ Alkmaar must continue their clinical form in front of goal if they are to overturn the one-goal deficit in front of a fired-up home crowd on Thursday.
the hosts will be confident of breaching West Ham's leaky backline

周四晚上，西汉姆联将前往荷兰，在AFAS球场与阿尔克马尔进行欧联杯半决赛第二回合的比赛。
两支球队仍然梦想着下个月在布拉格对阵巴塞尔或佛罗伦萨的比赛，但铁锤队在伦敦体育场首回合2-1获胜，占据了优势。刚刚从上周末在荷甲联赛的五星表现中恢复过来的阿尔克马尔，如果他们想在周四在激动的主场观众面前扭转一球的差距，他们必须继续在门前保持冷静的状态。
东道主将有信心突破西汉姆联的后防线
