Both teams got their Group A campaigns underway with a victory as the Hammers came from behind to down Backa Topola while Freiburg left it late to win at Olympiacos.
It has been a solid start to the season for the German side, bar last month’s 5-0 hammering away to Stuttgart, as they look to improve on last year’s run to the last-16 of the Europa League.
Similarly, West Ham are in the top half of the Premier League and look well set to stay there after easing past Sheffield United last time out.
