In the semi-final match of the Europa League, German Eintracht and English West Ham will meet. In the first match, the team from Frankfurt won with a score of 2:1. What will happen in the second leg? LiveResult.Ru gives a forecast for this game.
Eintracht
Eintracht is no longer fighting for anything in the German championship. The team scored 40 points in two rounds before the end of the season and occupies the eleventh place in the standings. It is no longer possible to fly to Frankfurt, as well as to get into European competitions. Glasner's team plays very poorly at home. In the current Bundesliga season, Eintracht ranks 16th in this indicator, having scored only 18 points at home. In the Europa League playoffs, Frankfurt passed the Spanish Betis and Barcelona, and now beat West Ham 2-1 on the road. In the last match, Eintracht lost to Bayer on the road with a score of 0:2.
West Ham
The "Hammers" for three matches before the end of the season retain chances to get into the top 6 of the Premier League, but still it is unlikely. West Ham are in seventh place and have 52 points. Manchester United, who are on the sixth line, are six points away, but the Londoners have a match in reserve. However, even if Moyes' players finish the season seventh, they will still play in European competitions next season. Chelsea and Liverpool, who are in the top, will compete in the FA Cup final, so the seventh team will receive a ticket to the Conference League qualification. In the Europa League, the Londoners passed Sevilla and Lyon, but lost to Eintracht in the first match. In the last match, West Ham lost 1-2 at home to Arsenal.
Statistics and figures:
- West Ham – the favorite of the meeting
- West Ham are unbeaten in four matches in a row, three of them lost
- Eintracht concedes in seven consecutive matches
Forecast
"West Ham" plays well in away matches, and even more so here we will have to go forward to recoup and interrupt an unsuccessful series by reaching the final. Eintracht, as it was said earlier, does not play well at home. In such an important match, the Germans will want to maintain the advantage gained in the first match and go to the final. But there will be free zones at the gates of the Londoners, so Frankfurt will almost certainly score in their stands, which will make the passage of Moyes' team even more unlikely. Our bet: both teams will score for a coefficient of 1.7.
