Strasbourg hosts Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of the Europa League qualification finals. The match will be played on Thursday, August 22nd at Stade de la Meinau (Strasbourg)
The newcomer to the UEFA Europa League (in its modern form), French Strasbourg, is in its element in the second most important club international tournament of the Old World. The team has passed the previous two stages of qualification, eliminating (as a result of a goal shooting) Israeli Maccabi Haifa (3:1, 1:2) and Bulgarian Lokomotiv Plovdiv (switching to a more economical style (1:0, 1:0). Strasbourg demonstrated a completely different approach to one task – promotion to the EL group. Well, in a two-part confrontation with German Eintracht, the Strasbourg players will apparently have to change their tactics towards a more open one. Since one goal scored, even in both matches, will hardly be enough for the White-blues for overall success. After all, Frankfurt is a peculiar machine for creating goals in the opponents’ nets, which the current qualification of the Europa League more than confirms!

The German Eagles have only warmed up with their humble opponents in the person of Estonian Flora (2:1 + 2:1) and Swiss-Liechtenstein Vaduz (5:0, 1:0). When needed, Eintracht instantly turned on the ruthless regime and put on the mask of one of the strongest representatives in the current German Bundesliga. It was reflected in the aforementioned defeat of unfortunate Vaduz, who ended up in real hell at home, resignedly surrendering to the Eintracht attack without any possibility of resistance.
I believe that we will see the game in offensive style, and both the French and Germans will try to squabble ahead with sharp swords rather than covering themselves with large defensive shields!
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 goals scored
