⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Winners: Eintracht Frankfurt!

[cytpoway121]

Europa League semifinal second leg is about to start, if we look at the previous results, of course Frankfurt and Leipzig are more favored because
they managed to win in the first leg. The problem is that the advantage of only one goal difference is very easy to pursue, meaning that there are
still many possibilities that can happen. 

You are right, a goal advantage in european football without away goal rule is a weak lead, both teams have to put efforts again for another 90 minutes so that a winner can emerge. Woth westham cb back to fitness; they can overturn the defeat and qualify for the finals; while frankfurt will hope to pounce on counter

I think WestHam and Leizpig will go through to the finals

I do no have much to say about Leipzig and their qualification to the finals because I didn't follow up their first leg. But Frankfurt vs Westham I followed the match.
Frankfurt is a middle placed team in Germany just like Westham in England. The difference is that Frankfurt has a better defence than Westham while Westham has a better attack than Frankfurt.
If these players are fit, Bowen and Antonio of Westham could change the narrative too early in the first half.

Don't forget with Leipzig performance lately very bad after last match losing from Gladbach and drop to 5th and out from champion league spot next season. But different with Frankfurt maybe have forget what achievement on domestic leafue after failure reach top position standing and Europe League as most important competition to be the winner. But still both team Leipzig and Frankfurt closest to final after have winning capital on first leg.

Leipzig and Frankfurt are the favorite team to qualify, cause with the look of things now the both teams only need a draw in their second leg to qualify. Though it's somehow hard to predict, cause it seems west Ham are not giving up on the trophy, but their lose to  Frankfurt in the first leg was a huge mistake for them, west Ham only need to win 2:0 to qualify for the UEFA champions league final, which I think it won't be easy.

Since you saw it as the winning team in the first leg, your assumption is not wrong, these two teams still have a chance to qualify for the final. West Ham and Rangers don't give up easily, even though they lost in the first leg these two teams still have a chance to avenge the defeat in the second leg. Losing in the first leg was a mistake made by West Ham, because they played at home, while Rangers lost at home to Leipzig. West Ham is a bit of a struggle, because it will play at home Frankfurt, Rangers starting the match at home, will certainly have the morale to look for goals in the first half, because in the previous match Rangers only lost 1-0 to Leipzig.

[W Jr.]

If I'm to talk about the second leg of the Leipzig - Rangers draw, I can start with stating that Leipzig are still highly favourite side to advance to finale. I saw that the first leg was very competitive and challenging for both of these teams. But in the end, Leipzig are advantageous as they won by 1-0. They will need to make a big effort to maintain this. And if they get ahead somehow too, I don't think that Rangers can make a comeback anymore. But I hope to see another competitive match there too. I wish the best wins this one.

I think it is necessary not to be so precise about the match to be played in Scotland. Rangers are a team that can take unexpected wins at home. I also see that he did not get exactly consistent results for Leipzig in the league. Their performance before a match and after a match can be different. So an early goal by Rangers could lower Leipzig's morale and affect their game.

RB leipzig has a one goal advantage when they will travel to Rangers in the second leg of the Europa League semifinals but they must not be careless at all because the one goal margin does not need to remember the ranger will play in front of his own public if he is a little careless then it is certain that RB leipzig will lose one a place in the final this season, while in the other match Frankfurt vs west ham united became a revenge event for David Moyes's men considering they had to admit Frankford's advantage with a score of 2-1 at the London stadium in the first leg last week even though we know that frankford are favorites to win. qualified for this season's Europa League final but came with a revenge mission to get their first Europa league final ticket

In a few days the second leg of the Europa League will be played, and the possibility of these two matches will be very interesting to watch.
Because there are still 4 teams that still have the same chance to qualify for the final, although Leipzig managed to beat Rangers in the first leg,
it does not guarantee that Leipzig will definitely qualify for the final. Likewise with West Ham who were defeated by Frankfurt in the first leg,
there is still a chance for them to beat Frankfurt in the second leg and qualify for the final. This means that anything is possible, depending on
the performance of the 4 teams in the second leg match. We all know football is full of surprises, then it is very possible to have a surprise
in the second leg of the semifinal match. But my predictions who will qualify for the final are  Leipzig and West Ham, but maybe my prediction is wrong.
To be sure, we have to look at the results of the semi-final second leg of the Europa League which will definitely be tense.

Both the first leg matches in the Europa League semi-final were really close. I thought RB Leipzig winning against Rangers was ok because that was expected for a lot of people but West Ham losing against Frankfurt was a little unexpected. but I also think that anything can happen in the second leg because the margin of goals in the aggregate is not big at all.

Even though I said that Frankfurt winning against West Ham was unexpected but after watching the first leg I think Frankfurt is playing better than West Ham and they will be the ones to qualify for the finals.

if we look at the results from the first leg itself where RB leipzig didn't play too well even though they managed to beat Glasgow ranger at home, maybe the real test will occur tomorrow morning because RB leipzig must travel to the Rangers headquarters where the advantage of a one-goal margin I don't think is enough for RB leipzig if they are a little careless in the second leg later then it is certain that they will fail in the European League this season, where we know the rangers will be fully supported by their supporters in the match later this will certainly provide more motivation for the hosts because they are only left behind just one goal

[Spack17]

The second leg matches are closing in on us and I'm curious about how they will end. For the Rangers v Leipzig, I feel like it can end in a 1-1 draw. Rangers would find the first goal and Leipzig would equalize it. And this result would be enough for Leipzig to reach the finale. One thing that I feel sure about is that Leipzig won't have an easy match here. Rangers are a very tough competitor and they would do their best here to advance. And for the Frankfurt v West Ham match, I think that West Ham will end 90 minutes ahead by one goal. And they will manage to eliminate their competitor by extra time. But I'm sure that this will also be a very competitive match.

[minairia3]

Both of the games were really lovely. Leipzig - Rangers game was very competitive and Leipzig became happy at the end of the game by winning 1-0. But it is really hard to guess the result of the second leg. These teams both are very capable of beating each other now. And I know Rangers as a much better playing team in their home games. And when it comes to the West Ham - Frankfurt game, the result of it was quite shocking to me. I didn't even think for once that Frankfurt would even get a draw here. But here we are. I still think West Ham can make a comeback though but let's see.

I think guessing either Leipzig vs Rangers or West Ham vs Frankfurt is really hard since those team have unstable performance, sometime they're very good but sometime they're played very bad. Even the odds favored to Leipzig and Frankfurt, but there's a big chance Rangers or West Ham make an upset. The aggregate only difference 1 goal, it's not something hard to achieve more 2 goals on the second leg.

Yes exactly. The plays from all four teams are really unstable. It's like,  sometimes it's good, sometimes it's shit. So it is really hard to predict but if you ask me I will say that RB Leipzig and Frankfurt are the most capable teams to qualify for the finals of the Europa league because I really liked the way both these teams have played in the first leg and if they continue playing like that in the second leg I don't think they will be stopped.

[bct_ail]

For Leipzig and Frankfurt, a draw will also do. I don't even have a prediction for the two games tomorrow. For Frankfurt, the advantage is that they play at home. It will be a breathtaking atmosphere and that can only be positive for the Frankfurt players. I just hope that both fans will be peaceful.

It will be two exciting games and hopefully my remote control will hold out. 

[emrecemsan]

I think that the Eintracht Frankfurt - West Ham match can be a more enjoyable one. Because they both are very good attacking teams and we watched three goals in the first leg already. I will be waiting for seeing another similar match in the second leg. West Ham need to score and equalize the score in the first place. And I don't think that Eintracht Frankfurt would just watch them while they are doing it. So my prioritized options to bet on are both teams to score and over 2.5. But I don't have much idea about which side would make it.

Bad thing for Frankfurt is that they have a bad results from playing home game's this season,they have just won one winning five times and drawing a total of four game's.
If they move to the final it will be their first time in European final for over forty years now, they have a better advantage to proceed into the finals as they have previously won by two goals to one.
Can West Ham get two goals here ? This is the total amount of goals needed to take them into the finals.

Yes, that is true. But sometimes a team plays better internationally than nationally. In the German Bundesliga, Frankfurt is at place 11 in the table. And most people thought they would lose against Barcelona and their journey would be over. But they showed what they can do. But it certainly will not be an easy game for Frankfurt.

[Reosta_]

Each one of the Rangers - Leipzig and Frankfurt - West Ham matches is going to be hell of a match I think. I expect more goals this time in the Rangers - Leipzig match. We would see at least one goal by each side and it would be a lovely competition then. And at the end, I think Leipzig will make it. But I don't want to watch a one-sided match as I said. And in the other match, I'm favouring West Ham to win and advance to next round. I know what Frankfurt did before but we can see the same thing from West Ham too. It is quite probable to me.

Leipzig won the first leg with just a goal up and now they will be travelling to Scotland to play rangers at home, rangers form in their past few matches has be very good, i know leipzig are the favourites to win and qualify ahead of rangers but it won't be easy for them in Scotland so they should not be so loose else they will loose.

For Leipzig against Ranger I still don't have any doubts for Leipzig in this match but there is little hope for me for Frankfurt and Westham. I love these two clubs and I'm still confused about them now because in every way they are completely balanced.
For Leipzig with a ranger maybe it's like Liverpool and Villarreal in the UCL now, even if Ranger puts pressure on them but they won't be able to make Leipzig lose

In terms of the quality of the game, Leipzig is indeed better and it was very visible in the first leg match even though Leipzig was only 1 goal ahead. but that way there is still a high possibility for them to win again in the second leg when playing at home to Rangers.
while West Ham also played better in the first leg but they lost to make it a little difficult for them in the second leg later when playing at home to Frankfurt, although anything is still possible and this match will be quite interesting because the game between the two teams is very balanced.

In my opinion, Leipzig and West Ham will reach the final of the Europa League this season even though Frankfurt are currently leading 2-1 over West Ham in the first leg. Leipzig are a good team and they were convincing enough to reach the final.

Here I am not underestimating Frankfurt who managed to beat Barcelona in the second leg surprisingly recently, but I think they will struggle to reach the final even with a one goal advantage in the second leg. West Ham only need to try to score at least 1 goal in regular time (90 minutes) to go into extra time and that will open up more chances to win the game. But it would be interesting if Frankfurt scored the first goal at home.

with only a 1 goal lead and no away goals will of course make everything still possible, even though Leipzig are favored but I think they will also have the same chance of being in the final, especially since this match will be played at home to Rangers. I think the chances for both teams to qualify are still 50-50 and I personally still favor Rangers to qualify for the final.

Away goals do not count more than home goals anymore.

Leipzig is the stronger team, but 1 goal advantage is not a safe cushion to rely on, the Rangers could be a surprise indeed.
If you really think the chance for Rangers/Leipzig is 50-50 you should seriously put some money down on the Rangers. Current quotes for qualification for the final are Rangers 5.5 & Leipzig 1.12 which translates roughly to 15%/85%.

If you look at the match between the two teams in the first leg, I don't think many people are willing to bet on Rangers, even though this second leg match will be played at Rangers' home ground.
Leipzig are a very good team, they only started the season a little badly so far they can't be champions in the domestic league, even they are threatened not to enter the top 4 in the domestic league, so their chances of getting a UCL season ticket are just by winning In the Euroa League this season, of course they will put in and focus very much on this match to be able to reach the final and win.
