We are only one match away from knowing the finalists of the 2021/22 Europa League and on Thursday the 5th of May we have a meeting between Eintracht Frankfurt and West Ham United.

The match will be played at Deutsche Bank Park and the Germans hold a 2-1 lead from the first leg in London.

Eintracht Frankfurt come into the game on the back of a 2-0 loss at Bayer Leverkusen on Monday night.

Bayer Leverkusen scored in both halves of the game but with the chance to qualify for Europe next season out of reach in the Bundesliga, Eintracht Frankfurt can be forgiven for having their minds on this match.

However, the defeat against Bayer Leverkusen means Eintracht Frankfurt have recorded just a single victory from their 4 most recent games in all competitions.

The win came in the first leg of this tie in London but Eintracht Frankfurt have picked up just a point from their last 3 matches in the Bundesliga.

Form in the Europa League has been good and Eintracht Frankfurt have remained undefeated in their last 11 fixtures in the competition. They are undefeated in their 5 most recent home Europa League games but have picked up just a single win in those 5 matches.

Trends show both teams have scored in each of Eintracht Frankfurt’s last 5 home Europa League games.

West Ham United suffered a 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Arsenal in the Premier League on the weekend.

West Ham conceded a goal 7 minutes from end of the first half but The Hammers were level before the interval thanks to a goal in the final minute of the half. However, Arsenal re-established their lead early in the second half and West Ham could not get the equaliser.

That result means West Ham have lost each of their last 3 fixtures in all competitions. In addition to the defeat on the weekend, West Ham lost the first leg of this Europa League tie 2-1 at home and were beaten 1-0 at Chelsea in the Premier League.

Away form in the Europa League shows West Ham are undefeated in 5 of their last 6 away matches. There have been victories at Dinamo Zagreb, Rapid Vienna, and Lyon, the latter of which was an excellent 3-0 win in the quarter-final.

Trends show West Ham have scored 2 or more goals in 4 of their last 5 away Europa League games. They have also kept 3 cleans sheets in their last 5 Europa League matches on the road.

Team news and Eintracht Frankfurt will be without four players for this game, with Christopher Lenz, Jesper Lindstrøm, Eric Durm, and Diant Ramaj unavailable.

West Ham rested some players on the weekend and have clean bill of health for this game. Tomáš Souček and Michail Antonio started on the bench against Arsenal but will be restored to the starting XI for this match.

Eintracht Frankfurt know a draw in this game will be enough to send them through to the Europa League final. That may see them sit back and attempt to hit West Ham on the break, who need to score to have any chance of progressing. This one could be tight, with the match finishing level and under 2.5 goals scored.
