First match for the Europa League semifinals between West Ham and Eintracht Frankfurt at the London Stadium. It will follow a replay next week in Germany, the away goal does not apply.
West Ham found itself in a difficult position after the 1-1 draw at home against Lyon in the first match of the quarterfinals but in the replay in France it was impressive and prevailing 3-0 was the one who celebrated the qualification to the semifinals of the tournament. It is characteristic that he qualified for the semifinals of a European tournament for the first time since the distant 1976!
At the same time she gives her battle in the Premier League to renew its participation in the European stadiums of the new season. On Sunday they were defeated in the London derby by Chelsea with 1-0 and the initial dreams of entering the top four of the standings have gone for a walk as has dropped to 7th place with 52 points.
He had the hardest task after the draw in the quarterfinals where her Barcelona came out as an opponent and it became even more difficult when in the first match in Germany they conceded a 1-1 draw. In the replay, however, in Barcelona, it achieved its biggest European victory with 3-2 and she was the one who got the ticket for the semifinals of the tournament. And when you throw out such an opponent you can only dream of even winning the title!
But it does not make the same successful course in the Bundesliga as it bears the brunt of its European course, after 31 games is in 9th place with 40 points and now only if he wins the Europa League he will play next year in European stadiums and even in the Champions League groups. In its last match, it was tied 2-2 at home against Hoffenheim.
An ambiguous match between two teams whose participation in the semifinals may be an excess for them. West Ham are always predictable at home but I do not think they are as favorites as the odds say, Eintracht enjoys away games and their favorite counterattack game. Both, however, score easily as they have scored in all of this year's games of the tournament.
Proposal: West Ham - Eintracht Frankfurt GG with odds of 1.85
