West Ham return to Europa League action later this week against a familiar face.
The Hammers twice beat last-16 opponents Freiburg in the group stage and wrapped up the opening phase in the competition with a victory against them, raising fresh hope for David Moyes after a productive week.
While there are still those who doubt the Scot in what could be his final season in charge of the club, wins over Brentford and Everton in the space of six days have steadied the ship somewhat.
So good in Europe for most of his time in charge, Moyes has another great chance of delivering more success on the continental front this season.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.

Freiburg vs West Ham team news
West Ham are not believed to be carrying any fresh injury concerns at this stage, with forward Maxwel Cornet the only absentee.
Lukasz Fabianski has largely been the goalkeeper Moyes has turned to in Europe and the veteran is expected back between the sticks, despite Alphonse Areola’s excellence at Everton.
Given the importance of the game, it seems unlikely Moyes will rotate too much elsewhere.
Freiburg vs West Ham prediction
Freiburg have hit something of a slump in terms of home form, failing to win any of their last three Bundesliga games. Having already been beaten twice by a West Ham team who have hit form recently, an away win looks the most likely outcome.
West Ham to win, 2-1.
