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

[_BlackStar]

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%.

Don't hesitate, I think Leipzig will advance to the final of this competition. Leipzig is a strong team compared to Rangers, that's justified and I think the Bundesliga team are title favorites this season after Barcelona were thwarted by Frankfurt. So if this season's Champions League final belongs to the top two Premier League teams, then in the Europa League final the two Bundesliga teams may have it too. Why not.

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.

Leipzig has a 1 goal advantage in today match, but facing the Rangers away is not an easy job for Leipzig, the Rangers are the oldest team in Scotland and the geographical proximity to England makes the Scottish team style of play not much different from the English Premier League team which relies on physicality and speed so far, although leipzig has better quality players, but I think the rangers will be confident enough to face the match because they only have a margin of 1 goal from Leipzig, of course the advantage of the host makes leipzig more motivated especially their fanatical fans will certainly fill the stadium competition.

We must also remember when entering the knockout phase, where Dortmund was defeated by Rangers and Dortmund were eliminated by Rangers. So, it looks like Rangers can't be underestimated at all though indeed, I'm also not really sure about Rangers but the fact is, in the previous match when Rangers played against Braga in fact Rangers lost 1-0 in the 1st leg. But in the second leg at that time Rangers played at home and Rangers can win, currently at least the situation is the same so any result is still very open to all teams which means they have an equal chance.

I know it's very unethical to underestimate any team at this stage even if that team looks weak compared to its opponents. But we also know that Leipzig's quality is still better to expect in the final than Rangers. Leipzig so far have the chance to qualify for the champions league next season in the domestic league thanks to their quality and form, but in the last 2 matches they have been too bad to hope for.

But clearly, the Europa League is a different competition from the domestic league and that will probably be something that can motivate any team to put on their best performance during the match. Both teams have a chance, but if you ask who deserves to be in the final then I'll be honest Leipzig deserved much more than Rangers.

West Ham vs Frankfurt and both of teams had impressive performance in Europe league because they can able reach to semi-final and as a host West Ham had ambition to win the match because they want made new history by went to final match but their recent matches showing they not in the good shape after several times lose and for Frankfurt they more impressive than West Ham because can beat Barcelona in Camp Nou so this fight between two teams that played surprising during this season and very curious to know the results of this match however for bet options i was thinking bet for both teams to score because possibly they will score goals for each other

Well it's interesting how you put it, honestly I also expected a little more from West Ham, however Frankfurt showed a lot by beating Barcelona, I think that more than most people lost that bet, because it was obvious that many left for Barca, however, as you say, it is more likely for you that West Ham's match will end in a draw with Frankfurt, the truth is that I had not considered that option, which seems to me to be very objective, and based on what you state more still. I don't know, in this case despite or I don't know if against all predictions I have the faintest inkling that West Ham can change things and put them in their favour.

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.

You are right, and that is my doubt to make a bet, although Rangers have all the confidence to do well, I think that Leipzig can come out with the victory this time, they are very close, also seeing the opportunity they have is very big, And in football you can't waste opportunities because at a given moment you can lose everything, you can go from having everything to nothing, otherwise you have to see what happened to Barcelona.

I think different compare between Dortmund and Leipzig actually trough Dortmund defeating by Ranger happening when Dortmund not on full team after Haaland got injury, but could be motivation for Ranger how get second chance for defeating Germany team next match against with Leipzig. I think with Europe league all team have motivation how can play on final stage and become the winner actually Ranger still not loss chance with first leg result just losing 1 goal, still have chance play on home to score above 2 goals and lead final.

Rangers - Leipzig is not going to be easy for any side. I'm expecting a much better Rangers in the rematch now. They play much differently in their games in their home stadium. Maybe they wouldn't dominate the game completely but they would overwhelm their opponent a little I think. Leipzig will need to get ready for a solid fight between them. They defeated Atalanta once before in a tough away game. They might look for doing the same to Rangers here as well. But I think that the normal time of this game would end in a draw the most for Leipzig but they would succeed in reaching final round.

Ranger's surprise is too big in the league this season and indeed this is still a fifty-fifty for them now regardless of what Aggregate 1 goal is still possible to be overtaken in this match.
Technically, they are not very favored right now and I am still on the side of Leipzig for the 2nd Leg but it is possible that they will make another big surprise now.

[rby]

On a normal expectation, Leipzig and Westham was supposed to qualify for the next round but this year, prediction is following abnormal ways. The europa of tomorrow will be hot, both Frankfurt vs Westham  and Leipzig vs Rangers will be very hot.
Even if Rangers will not be able to turn over their match, I so much trust that Westham can make a drastic turn around against Frankfurt.
Still, Frankfurt has better defence and if they can do it against Barcelona which means they can do it to any club.

I am also more confident for Leipzig in the second leg and also Frankfurt, because if the two of them can meet in the Europa League final, I think it will be a little interesting to watch even though both are clubs from the German League, but for this time everyone will see they are in the final if they can qualify for both.

It still doesn't end yet, Who knows in the second leg, West Ham will have a comeback and will have a higher aggregate. Although we know that Frankurt also always played consistently moreover after defeating Barcelona.
The aggregate from both sides is only small difference. So in the second leg, all clubs still have their big chance to maintain or even to come back.
As we see in the UCL semifinal between City and Madrid, Madrid could have epic comeback. Bt I know that this may not be able to make similar to the situation in this Europe league. ut what Imean is that sometimes a club has higher luck.

Leipzig, with its recent results, has raised some doubts about its successful exit to the final, although for me personally it still remains the favorite in its confrontation with Rangers. On the other hand, the success in the first match with Rangers followed just between the losses in the Bundesliga and therefore for Leipzig fans there is hope that this unsuccessful series has nothing to do with the Europa League. At least, Leipzig head coach Tedesco said before the match that they need more goals tomorrow. Eintracht also does not shine in the Bundesliga, but still plays at home in Frankfurt with its incredible fans and at the same time has a one-goal advantage. But with all this, I won't be too surprised by any outcomes, because the one-goal advantage in both semifinals is too shaky.

Likewise with the second leg of this Europa League semifinal, there will be a possibility of surprises that can happen. Like you said Frankfurt managed
to get rid of the strongest candidate in the Europa League competition, so logically Frankfurt should be the winner of the Europa League trophy.
Because the other 3 teams that are in the semifinals are still under Barcelona. But in the world of football victory can be obtained by any team,
that is why football is the most popular sport in the world, because very often there are surprises in the world of football and that is actually one of
the attractions of football. We will see the results of the second leg of the Europa League semifinal, whether West Ham and Leipzig can advance to
the final according to my prediction. Or Frankfurt and Leipzig who won the first leg who will qualify for the final. Hopefully this time my prediction
will come true.

The first leg Frankfurt beat West Ham in West Ham's home, now this match will happen on Frankfurt's home. If Frankfurt can won away from home, they have bigger chance to win in their own home.
Now talking about Manchester City and Real Madrid, that's match happen on Real Madrid's home and they're won. I'm more confident Frankfurt will win, the odds is same too (2.70x) it's worth to bet to be honest.

I think so too, but if you look at the number of points Leipzig has, which is only one point different from Freiburg in the Bundesliga standings, I think Leipzig still has a chance to be in 4th place in the Bundesliga standings if Freiburg loses once in two more matches in the Bundesliga.
Because one of the opponents that Freiburg will face is Bayer Leverkusen who are in 3rd position in the current standings.

This is Europa League dude, why you're discussing Bundesliga? You should discuss it here Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

This is difficult match for West Ham because they have to score 2 goals without conceded and it is hard task for them especially their performance lately were not good even in premier league West Ham suffering lose 2 times in a row and for Frankfurt although their performance in Bundesliga also similar such as West Ham but at least they more comfortable to faced this match because already win in the first leg and Frankfurt should have made it to the final match if there is no any surprising results

West Ham had to adopt Real Madrid's style of play, the fighting spirit was very influential in increasing the players' confidence to catch up with Frankfurt. West Ham must consider Deutsche Bank Park as their home so as not to be too stressed during the match. Strong player morale combined with a quick attack strategy can be done by West Ham to get victory in the second leg, although it is a bit difficult, West Ham must try it.

Westham needs a winning in the game because they suffered a defeat in the first leg. Frankfurt won't also hold back as they will played a defensive game against the English side. The game is going to be really tough for both sides. Westham United can still do a comeback just like real Madrid in the champions league. Perhaps their opponents are very strong interms of defensive football. Frankfurt was the team that knockout Barcelona and break their long term unbeaten record. Let's hope the game end in favour of the best sides.

Qualifying for the final is the best team out of all the teams competing in the Europa League, West Ham and Frankfurt will battle it out to go to the final. Frankfurt is playing at home will defend the win in the first leg, the Frankfurt coach must give direction to his players to put pressure on West Ham, as West Ham's goal comes to Frankfurt home for a win to advance to the final. It is difficult to predict the outcome of the match for these two teams, but the chance is in Frankfurt's hands.

But I think that the normal time of this game would end in a draw the most for Leipzig but they would succeed in reaching final round.

I think, it will be difficult for Leipzig to eliminate Rangers from this semi final because Rangers are fully prepared to use their new strategy to defeat Leipzig 2-1 for the favour of Rangers. Despite, Leipzig defeated Atalanta does not mean they will win Rangers in this match because Rangers has what it takes to achieve victory from this match to alert their fans that they are well ready to stand for UEFA Europa champion league final. I don't think the match will end up draw because Leipzig cannot stop Rangers not to achieve goals from this match.

It is absolutely wrong to judge a team in the Europa league by the performance of their own league. From what we have seen so far in the Europa League, we can see that Leipzig and Frankfurt both have a certain advantage over their opponent and I think they are going to utilize it very well especially when they have played really well and has shown good teamwork in the first leg. But the other teams surely have the capability of turning things around.
