Victory and progression from their two-legged Europa League quarter-final against Bayer Leverkusen - the unbeaten, newly crowned German champions - would go down as one of the greatest nights in the club's history.
It is a long shot.
Even if Jarrod Bowen is fit to start, questions have to be asked about how fit the England star actually is. Without him - and the suspended Lucas Paqueta - West Ham feel short of firepower for the task they are facing.
More likely is elimination and an end to three years of European adventures, which brought many memorable stops, capped by that glorious night in Prague.
What would be left is a seven-match run to the end of the Premier League season, with the Hammers knowing if Chelsea or Coventry City win the FA Cup, they would have to finish sixth to secure a European place next season.
Given the run-in includes trips to Chelsea and Manchester City, plus a home game against Liverpool, it feels like a tough ask.
And that will turn the focus back on manager David Moyes and his future.
Some fans wanted the Scot out after the Europa Conference League triumph, since when attitudes among the 'Moyes Out' brigade have hardened.
Is Moyes up for the challenge of continuing? Would co-owner David Sullivan want him to? These questions have to be asked at some point.
West Ham can only hope that day is not about to arrive.

Image source, Getty ImagesXabi Alonso says he and his players had controlled celebrations after winning their first Bundesliga title on Sunday and are now ready to face West Ham.
In response to David Moyes hoping they had been consuming "a few of those big German beers," Alonso said: "A few but not too many!
"We had some control in order to get ready for the game. It was a moment to enjoy but now it is about what is coming and that is West Ham.
"When you come to England you know the supporters will push the team on. It will be an electrifying atmosphere, so it will have all the ingredients for a special night."
Unbeaten in all competitions this season, Bayer Leverkusen remain on course for a remarkable Treble in Alonso's first full season in charge, with the German Cup and Europa League still in their sights.
"From Tuesday our focus and our mind has been on the game," added Alonso. "Now is the time as we have a great opportunity to make a great season. So far it has been very good but it can get even better."
Image source, Getty ImagesWest Ham goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski says beating newly crowned German champions Bayer Leverkusen is a "daunting challenge" but they "have to believe" to do so.
David Moyes' side are aiming to come back from a 2-0 deficit from their first leg and inflict defeat on the Bundesliga champions for the first time this season.
"They are in a very strong position when it comes to the confidence of the team, with them being unbeaten in the league and already crowned German champions," Fabianski said in the pre-match news conference.
"They are a very good side. They have proved that in the whole season but I would say we have to believe."
The former Poland international believes West Ham can use their previous European experiences, having won the Europa Conference League last season.
Jarrod Bowen, who scored in the final, is back in training and Fabianski believes he boosts their chance of making the next round.
"We have experienced already some games under pressure when it comes to European competitions - in the previous rounds and in the previous years," he added. "We have managed to create some special magical evenings so hopefully tomorrow will be a similar situation.
"We want to have as big a group as we can because we have really good players within the team and within the squad so while Jarrod is obviously a really important player for us we will see how it goes tomorrow but hopefully he will be able to help us as well."

David Moyes was speaking to the media before West Ham's Europa League quarter-final second leg against Bayer Leverkusen on Thursday.
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Moyes confirmed Jarrod Bowen, Kalvin Phillips and Alphonse Areola had returned to training but he was "not sure" whether the trio would be fit enough to feature.
He added: "We'd never risk any players if they had chance of another injury. Player welfare is a big thing. I do want goalscorers back there and Jarrod has been our best goalscorer."
He said it was a "huge game against Leverkusen last week" and Thursday night will be the same: "When you get to quarter-finals and semi-finals, it is exciting. We'd obviously love to get to the final but we have to go through the processes of getting there."
On whether he feels under pressure: "Not at all. We've had some ups and some downs but in general, it's been a very good season."
On who could be the hero in turning the tie around: "In European games, quite often substitutes make the difference. Pablo Fornals scored the goal in Alkmaar to get us to the [Europa Conference League] final so anyone can do so."
He said it is "fantastic" that their opponents are now Bundesliga champions: "They should celebrate something like that. Let's hope that they have a few of those big German beers."
On if their fluctuating form is an advantage as opposed to Bayer Leverkusen's unbeaten run: "Maybe West Ham are a different sort of club. This place has never been smooth at any time. It's a club that has bobbed up and down. It's probably been at its highest standing for a long time. No one is coming here to have a smooth time - it's a club that has been up and down with relegation, but it's never been in Europe three seasons in a row and we want to make it four."
Moyes does not believe the outcome of the match will have an effect on his West Ham future: "It's not got a bearing on my decision. Let's be fair, it wasn't too long ago we were talking about trying to avoid relegation."
Here are the key facts before Thursday's Europa League quarter-final second leg between West Ham United and Bayer Leverkusen at London Stadium (20:00 BST kick-off).
This is the fifth time West Ham have trailed by two or more goals going into the second leg of a knockout tie in all European competitions, but the first since the 1999-00 season. They progressed in the first two and were defeated in the most recent two.
Bayer Leverkusen have progressed from all 13 previous occasions they have won the first leg of a two-legged European knockout tie by two or more goals.
West Ham have won three of their past four home games against German opposition (L1), already beating SC Freiburg twice in the Europa League this season (2-0 group stage, 5-0 round of 16).
Bayer Leverkusen have only won one of their 10 away games against English sides in all competitions. However, this win did come in their last visit to the capital against Tottenham Hotspur in November 2016 (1-0).
In the first leg, Bayer Leverkusen recorded 33 shots while West Ham had just one shot. Since the Europa League began in 2009, this is the biggest shot difference (32) between two sides in a single match in the competition.
Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz (25) and West Ham's James Ward-Prowse (22) are two of the top three players for most chances created in the Europa League this season.

Image source, Getty ImagesBorussia Dortmund's magnificent victory against Atletico Madrid was great news for on-loan Manchester United star Jadon Sancho and Marcel Sabitzer, who left Old Trafford after spending the second half of last season on loan with Erik ten Hag's side.
However, it was bad news for England's chances of a fifth Champions League place next term.
Borussia Dortmund gained points for their match victory and a bonus for reaching the semi-final.
Those three co-efficient points are then divided by seven - the number of German teams who played in Europe this season - and added to their total.
It takes Germany onto 17.214, still trailing Italy, who have 18.428, but crucially, clear of England, who have 16.750.
The battle is not over yet but England could really do with Arsenal knocking out Bayern Munich tonight or West Ham reaching the Europa League semi-finals at the expense of Bayer Leverkusen on Thursday.

Seven days ago, there was a real sense of confidence among the West Ham fanbase.
The three points at Wolves put us in a really strong position to secure a top-seven finish in the Premier League and European qualification for a fourth consecutive season.
On top of that, we were about to embark on a Europa League quarter-final against Bayer Leverkusen.
But, having lost that first leg 2-0, despite being so close to securing a goalless draw, and then following it up by losing 2-0 at home to Fulham in the Premier League - all the confidence we had a week ago has gone.
The reality now is that we are likely to crash out of the Europa League this week, unless we can overcome a two-goal deficit against the newly crowned Bundesliga champions and become the first team to beat them in 43 games.
Domestically, our chances of a top-seven finish are now reliant on other teams dropping points. Beating Fulham would have put us in sixth, but instead we are eighth, sitting two points behind seventh, having played one more game than Newcastle United and Manchester United above us.
Chelsea are just one point behind us in ninth but they have two games in hand and a much better goal difference. All they have to do is draw one of those games and suddenly we are ninth and further behind in the race for European football.
So, it is looking increasingly like a disappointing end to a season which had so much promise before the turn of the year.
A catastrophic January transfer window, dropped points against the likes of Bournemouth, Sheffield United, Burnley and Fulham, and a style of play that has much of the fanbase frustrated, means we could be embarking on the final few games of David Moyes' West Ham career.
Failure to qualify for Europe, especially from the position we were in towards the end of 2023, will be a huge failure.
I just do not know how he continues as West Ham boss if we are not playing in Europe next season.
What a ride it has been though!

Image source, Getty ImagesWest Ham United’s George Earthy has been discharged from hospital after the head injury he suffered in Sunday’s Premier League fixture against Fulham.
Earthy, 19, entered the field as a late second half substitute to make his Premier League debut at London Stadium, only to be withdrawn in stoppage time.
He was immediately transferred to a local hospital for further assessment.
Earthy will now follow FA and Premier League concussion guidelines ahead of his return to play.
Richard Collinge, Performance Director at West Ham United, said: “George is back home and we will continue to monitor him over the coming days as he completes the graduated return to play programme.”
We asked for your views on West Ham's defeat to Fulham on Sunday.
Here are some of your answers:
West Ham fans
Ian: Thought we started OK and Antonio should score from six yards. They score from a mistake and then sat back. As the game progressed we looked tired and short of ideas. Our lack of depth in the squad is really showing. Earthy looked good on his debut and hope the head injury isn’t serious. Saw him at Borehamwood pre-season and looks like a good prospect.
Josh: A really disappointing loss. It was an opportunity to win but the team looked tired and leggy after so many Thursday - Sunday weeks. We’ve played more games than Fulham this season and it showed. The lack of squad depth compared to the teams around us also showed. Need to strengthen significantly this summer if we are to continue to move forward.
Martin: No energy, no game plan, no fight. Spent most of our possession on the left wing playing tippy-tappy football before Paqueta gave the ball away. Defence was poor. Antonio was our only chance of a goal and he was hugging the left touchline all second half, very strange.
Fulham fans
Adam: Fulham were unlucky against Newcastle but we showed our quality against a good West Ham team. All fans are happy about Pereira and his double as he has been missing the art of scoring until now. We played well and we hope we can keep it up to the end of the season. Come on Fulham.
Bob: First of all my very best to George Earthy for a good recovery. It's always good to beat your London rivals. We need to be more clinical in front of goal and put more of our chances away. Still, we were strong and snuffed out any danger from West Ham. All but safe now so well done lads.
Keir: Story of our season … if we score first we don’t get beaten. Fair play to the boys for keeping up the tempo for the full 90 minutes .

Image source, Getty ImagesWest Ham are searching for their fourth successive season of European football, but today's performance against Fulham shows that may prove difficult.
The despair of fans could be seen clearly by the mass of empty seats in London Stadium when the full-time whistle went.
Fulham appeared to have more desire and drive to push forward and looked dangerous every time they did so, exposing the gaps left by West Ham's defence.
The Hammers are desperately missing top scorer Jarrod Bowen, with Michail Antonio and Danny Ings squandering the few chances they had.
Antonio should have netted an early opener, while Ings should have equalised before the break when he found himself unmarked in the box.
It was another lacklustre performance that piles the pressure on manager David Moyes and dents the team's confidence for Thursday's second-leg Europa League tie.
West Ham stand no chance against newly crowned Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen if they have a repeat of today's showing.
David Moyes spoke to BBC Match of the Day after West Ham's defeat to Fulham: "I thought we started really well, for the first 20-25 minutes we played well. In the main, we had done some good stuff but ultimately didn't have enough to get a win.
"We lacked a little bit of energy as the game went on and the second goal was a killer for us.
"The difficult part is going Thursday to Sunday, Sunday to Thursday you have more time and I hope we have a chance to do it again, we are enjoying it."
West Ham are winless in their past four home games in the Premier League (D3 L1), their longest run within the same campaign since October-December 2019 under Manuel Pellegrini (six games).
This was Fulham’s fourth London derby win of the current Premier League campaign (v West Ham twice, Arsenal and Spurs); their most in a season.
West Ham have conceded the opening goal in 10 Premier League matches in 2024; the joint-most of any side, alongside Luton. Indeed, they’ve not kept a clean sheet in any of their past 13 league games – their longest run without one since July 2020 (14).
Fulham’s Andreas Pereira scored the first brace of his Premier League career (111th appearance), having not netted in any of his previous 29 games before today.
Andreas Pereira became the first Fulham player to score a brace away from home in a London derby in the Premier League since November 2012, when Dimitar Berbatov did so against Arsenal.
Andreas Pereira scored twice to give Fulham a rare win at West Ham in the Premier League.
Despite a nervy start, Fulham took an early lead when Konstantinos Mavropanos failed to deal with Alex Iwobi's tricky ball into the box.
The mistake was leapt upon by Pereira, who swerved past Lukasz Fabianski before slotting into an empty net.
The Brazilian doubled the visitors' lead when he tapped in from close range at London Stadium.
It is the first time the Cottagers have won a Premier League game at West Ham since 2001.
Victory at London Stadium completed Fulham's league double over the Hammers - their first since the 1965-66 season - and lifted them up to 12th in the table.
David Moyes' side failed to boost their chances of European qualification by jumping above Newcastle and Manchester United into sixth.
There was a lengthy stoppage just before the end of normal time after George Earthy - only minutes into his league debut for West Ham - suffered a nasty head injury when colliding with team-mate Edson Alvarez.
Earthy, 19, appeared to lose consciousness after his head hit the turf and received medical attention for about seven minutes before being carried off on a stretcher and replaced by Maxwel Cornet.
