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

West Ham 1 - 2 Eintracht Frankfurt

it seems that Eintracht will be victorious in the next game too, they have been playing well when they are europe league games and in the current ranking that they are in the bundesliga it clearly shows that they may not be in the next europe league, but if they can win the europe league so i would save this season for them. if they lose then they will have lost everything so i think they will work hard to win the next game and the europe league. on the other side we have west ham which for me they have also been very bad in the premier league, and i doubt that in the next game they will be able to win

West Ham has gone with a 4-2-3-1 lineup And their opponent Frankfurt has gone with a 3-4-2-1  lineup. By the looks of it, I feel like Frankfurt just tried to go really aggressive from the start in this match because I think they have realized that if they want to play normal football they are going to lose in this match. In the end, they were able to win 2-1.

My tip for today West Ham 1:2 Frankfurt. The game is on a good level, and i believe in the power of Frankfurt. But there is still something more missing, like in Barcelona. After the 1:1, not much happened in the first 45 minutes. That will change a little bit. And I believe in a German final this year.

Nice! You expected the result correctly.
After the draw, I was influenced by bookies odds backing up West Ham and thought they will win especially after their poor results in Bundesliga but Frankfurt did it at the end! It appears that they want badly EL title this year

The west ham game ending 2-1 in favor of Frankfurt. Both teams having relatively equal share of possession. This Frankfurt team  I knew somehow is a threat aftermath the incident at camp nou.. They do have a good team
But i personally would have liked david moyes to hold a trophy. He has built West Ham from middle table team to a team ready to take on the Europe spot consecutively after his failed attempt at United and Everton. Lets hope they’re able to turn things around in the second leg. I don’t see Frankfurt letting this chance of heading to the finale slide easily though

The win from Frankfurt saw them extending their unbeaten run to eleven games especially coming from away.
They scored their fastest goal of the UEFA Europa league by putting one pass Areola in the first half and also in the 46th second if the game.
Bowen had a decent chance to make the game a tie in the second half but failed as the ober head kick went directly to the bar.

Indeed, it's interesting to look forward to I think the situation might be the same as Villarreal in the UCL. They are both not the seeded team but unfortunately, in this semifinal match the tension will probably be clearly different even though the opponent is West Ham but statistically West Ham have a better record. If West Ham can advance to the final then maybe this season's European tournament will be completely dominated by a team from the EPL, it's still not certain but I think teams from the EPL now look better than other teams.

Differences between big and small or medium clubs in Europa League is smaller and less significant than in Champions League. There are big clubs fall from Champions League to Europa League but if they fall into such cases, they have own problems that make their teams are not much stronger than other clubs usually play in Europa League. West Ham, Frankfurt are both not big clubs and if they already go to semi final, they can make histroy for their club with a cub in the end.

In the last two seasons, they both have better performance than they had years ago so it is perfect if they can achieve to a title in the Europe in order to mark their name in history. Only champions will be remembered in history.

I really don't believe that at the semi-final stage of any tournament there is an argument of one team being stronger than the other. Because I believe they have reached that level because they deserve to. West Ham and Frankfurt I am going to say that both teams have played really well and proved themselves until now. but it does really look like West Ham faces a little better opponents than Frankfurt and that might make them condition a little better two faces this type of opponent.

Leipzig - Rangers game didn't end surprisingly to be honest. Leipzig just found the winning goal quite late in the game but they still won by 1-0 which was the most important part for them. It is a decent advantage for them before the second leg. However, the other game ended by a very surprising result to me. Because I was feeling confident that West Ham would beat Eintracht Frankfurt home and capture a decent advantage as well. But the opposite case happened and Frankfurt became victorious by 2-1. This is a huge advantage for them before the game in Frankfurt but there is still nothing finished for West Ham of course. We will see next week how much they want to reach the finale.

Leipzig played at home and dominated the match, even to control the ball up to 71%, it is not commensurate with the results of the match.
Leipzig should have won by a larger goal difference. Even though Leipzig failed to show their best performance, the victory that Leipzig got was
very important. So in the second leg, Leipzig can play more relaxed, because they are already superior on aggregate goals, even so, Leipzig's
 position is not safe. So the match in the second leg of Leipzig must be more careful, My suggestion is that Leipzig take the initiative to attack first
to be able to score a goal in the early minutes, in order to make Rangers panic and play more openly.

For the Leipzig vs Rangers match, it was according to my predictions, nothing surprising, and indeed Leipzig deserved to win. But unlike
the West Ham vs Frankfurt match, I was quite surprised that Frankfurt who played away could beat West Ham. Hopefully West Ham can win
in the second leg match and can qualify for the final, because for me it is less interesting if two Bundesliga teams enter the final.

Eintracht continue to amaze and now in the home match it is enough for them to draw to reach the final. If we assume that today West Ham showed its maximum (it would be logical), then now Frankfurt is the clear favorite in this pair.

I was really surprised by the final result of the West Ham vs Frankfurt match... knauff really took people by surprise, take advantage of assists from maury, he scored a quick goal in the 1st minute'. in the bundesliga, frankfurt is not the favorite to win but in the european league this season, I see frankfurt is the favorite to win compared to leipzig (even though it's the same team from the german league).

On the contrary, I think that Leipzig is a big favorite in the fight for the title of the winner of the Conference League, although the results of Eintracht do not surprise me at all. The team from Frankfurt is doing great in the Europa League matches, while the Bundesliga games are not too successful. We can also talk about some element of luck for Eintracht, because Bowen, with his shot in added time by the referee into the crossbar of the goal, could have saved West Ham and brought a draw to his club. And so, Eintracht has a certain margin for the match in Frankfurt. Leipzig, after its minimal 1-0 victory, expects a trip to Glasgow, where Rangers are provided with crazy support from their stands. However, this season Leipzig is playing much better away than at home and at the same time has a one-goal advantage.

Will the Europa League final between 2 teams in the Bundesliga? Leipzig  vs Frankfurt I see both teams potentially going to the final after West Ham get beaten at home
It will be the best achievement of the Bundesliga if it manages to send 2 representatives to the final, of course it's not something that is certain but I speak based on the odds of each team both teams are one step away from getting it just need a draw in the second leg.

The possibility is definitely there and Frankfurt looks certain to go to the final then wait for Leipzig if they are able to do something in the 2nd leg. Because winning one goal difference is not safe enough moreover Ranger is strong enough to play at home a few times I saw them win big at home and it was hard to concede like what happened today only conceded one goal.

In football anything  is possible, the team that played veey we'll today may have issue tomorrow during the return leg so we should just wait till the return leg before we conclude, i see west ham getting to the final i believe they will win with a very high odd.

I agree that anything is possible in the world of football, especially if there is only one goal difference, it is very possible for the team that lost
in the first leg to qualify for the next round, if in the second leg managed to win the match by a larger goal difference. Therefore I still believe
West Ham will surprise us in the second leg by beating Frankfurt by two goals. Moreover, the quality of West Ham players is slightly better than
Frankfurt, and also see West Ham's performance is not so bad in the first leg match, but West Ham just need to improve their attack to be more
effective and creative. But for Rangers I have little doubts about being able to beat Leipzig, because after all Leipzig have better quality players
than Rangers. So I predict West Ham will meet Leipzig in the Europa League final.

I wouldn't write off either Rangers or West Ham just yet especially West Ham, they're still very much capable of making it to the finals, it's only a 1 goal deficit. I know Frankfurt have done great to earn a win away from home, just like they did at Barcelona, but I'd still tip West Ham to advance to the finals.

Perhaps, West Ham got beaten at home is really embarrassing. However I have thought before the match between West Ham and Frankfurt is full of surprise, now we got surprised West Ham as favorited team can lose against Frankfurt. Frankfurt might be the luckiest team since they can beat Barcelona and West Ham with their current performance. The second leg Frankfurt will have bigger chance to win.

Again I do not ignore your opinion West Ham still have a chance of qualifying though not more than 20% IMO of course I have reasons for that
In fact whoever comes to the Waldstadion it will be difficult to improve the game and it's hard to get a win almost all ended in a draw
especially in the European league competition if West Ham can do it then they break the record.

After the 1:1, not much happened in the first 45 minutes. That will change a little bit. And I believe in a German final this year.

Good prediction! I also thought that Frankfurt has a chance to reach the final, but I actually didn't expect them to win the away game. Anyway, they are not qualified yet. Also not Leipzig. 1 goal advantage can disappear quickly, even if it's only for some bad luck penalty or similar.

The odds for qualification for the finals are now:
Leipzig 1.12
Rangers 5.5

Frankfurt 1.22
West Ham 4.0

And for winning the trophy:
Leipzig 1.8
Frankfurt 3.5
West Ham 5.5
Rangers 11.0

Leipzig for winning the cup 1.8 doesn't seem like a bad bet at this point I think.

Eintracht Frankfurt again continued their positive trend in the Europa League, this time Frankfurt successfully silenced West Ham United at their own home.  Currently Frankfurt is a strong candidate to win the Europa League trophy, the German team became phenomenal when they successfully humiliated Barcelona in the quarter-finals, however, Frankfurt did not need to be engrossed in euphoria because there is still leg 2 that must be completed, because West Ham also has hope.  to turn things around.

Though we all know Frankfurt quality, they are good on the ball, they were the dominance in yesterday game. Already west ham also played their best, they tried but loosing at home is one of their worst mistake. Looking at things right now I think Frankfurt has the upper hands of qualifying to the UEFA Europa league final, though it's not over yet, you can't predict what will happen next. I think beating Eintracht Frankfurt at their home won't be a easy one for them, they need to come up with a better winning mentality, they should come up with a good counter-attack formation to see if they can change the result.

RB Leipzig won a narrow victory over Glasgow Rangers.  Leipzig is one of the favorites to win the Europa League this season.  This German Bundesliga club, which is known for having many potential young players, is certainly very ambitious to achieve success this season.  Facing the 2nd leg later, RB Leipzig was enough to hold Rangers to a draw to ensure a place in the final round, but Glasgow Rangers also still have a chance for that.

There is still a second leg, although next Sunday Westham will travel to Frankfurt headquarters, but I am still optimistic that Westham can turn things around, because I am very sure that Westham and Lepzing will qualify for the European league final, we will see later, in my opinion last night west ham played well, Westham also dared to hold the ball, in the second leg later I am optimistic that Westham will be able to give a surprise.

I see that Leipzig performance has not been optimal in this match should be with statistics like that Leipzig can score more than 1 goal
I honestly doubt that Leipzig can win in the 2nd leg the closest thing is a draw still Leipzig is predicted to qualify for the final
My hunch is that this year's Europa League final will be between German league clubs.

West Ham only lost 1-2 at home, defeats to the visitors by narrow scores is common in football. I do not think it is a shame for West Ham, which should be a shame if West Ham lost to Frankfurt by a big score.
Despite losing at home in the first leg, West Ham can still look for additional goals in the second leg. Frankfurt really made West Ham tired in the first leg, I think the second leg match will be dominated by West Ham, because they have to play attacking to turn the score around.
