West Ham take on the visitors Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of UEFA Europa League semifinals. The match will be played on Thursday, April 28th at London Stadium (London)
West Ham still can’t break into the Champions League through the league, but at the same time, there are a different, alternative path, through the Europa League, and it is becoming more and more real. At the group stage, the Hammers took 1st place in the quartet. In the playoffs, they had tough, experienced opponents. But that didn't stop West Ham's path. Moreover, they managed to achieve success in the second leg after failing in the first: 2-0 at home after 0-1 with Sevilla in the 1/8 finals, 3-0 in France after 1-1 in London with Lyon in the quarterfinals. Of course, the hosts would like to have at least some an advantage before the second leg.

Eintracht put their trust in Oliver Glasner and he repaid with impressive results in the Europa League. The Germans have never lost in Europa League yet. They won their group by gaining 12 points (equal umber wins and draws). And in the playoffs until the semi-final round, Eintracht specialized in the representatives of LaLiga. They won in Spain against Betis (despite the fact that the match was a difficult one and there was a lot of luck involved), and, sensationally, against Barcelona. Having passed the Catalans, of course, now the eagles can only aim to win the European Cup.
Eintracht cannot be considered a regular in European competition, and West Ham even more so. It is not surprising that now the teams will play each other for the first time. Diop, Zouma and Ogbonna will not play for West Ham. Eintracht will definitely not be able to use Ramai and possibly Ilsanker and Lenz. Bookmakers consider this pair to be fairly equal in strength. In this case, the field factor is important, and West Ham plays in their arena.
Prediction for the match: West Ham to win.
