Here is a look at the starting lineups for West Ham vs Viborg from the first leg of their UECL tie on August 18, 2022. West Ham won the game 3-1 with Scamacca (his first goal for WHUFC btw!), Bowen and Antonio scoring for the home side.
Vladimir Coufal left back vs Viborg; Ben Johnson as right centre back, Ogbonna captain in UECL
Interestingly, Vladimir Coufal, normally a right back by trade, played on the left side of defence as regular LB Aaron Cresswell didn’t feature here. Ben Johnson played LCB vs Forest over the weekend (he was paired with Zouma against NFFC), but with Angelo Ogbonna coming into the starting XI, Johnson shifted to RCB against Viborg.
Young Harrison Ashby played RB against Viborg, with Coventry and Soucek pairing up in midfield. Cornet on the left wing, Bowen on the right wing and Lanzini in the middle as a 10, with Scamacca upfront.
