West Ham vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction & Match Preview

Aron Wright - April 27, 2022

West Ham vs Eintracht Frankfurt
Europa League
Date: Thursday, 28 April 2022
Kick-off at 20:00 UK/ 21:00 CET
Venue: London Stadium.

The Hammers are placed seventh in the English top flight, and are desperate to hold on to this spot. The reason being, if they are to represent England in one of the European competitions next season, they need a top-seven finish.

As such, their concentration will be split between their league and Europa fixtures. And here’s where Eintracht have an advantage.

They are placed ninth in the German top flight at the moment, and they need a surplus of nine points from their remaining three games to even climb level with the seventh-placed Koln. And a top-seven finish is a must for European participation.

It’s safe to say they are not qualifying even for the Conference League via their league finish, and as such they are fully committed towards this upcoming encounter.

Moreover, they also have the confidence of knocking out heavyweights Barcelona, and that too at the Nou Camp.

Likely, expect a fierce encounter this Thursday between the two squads.

The Hammers are at home, and one thing will be motivating them hugely. No big team remains in the Europa, and now it’s up for grabs for anyone. They really do have a chance to lift a major trophy like Europa.

The expectation is that either squad will adapt for attacking football right from the get-go. Anticipate goals in plenty at the London Stadium.

West Ham vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction & Analysis

The Hammers have been struggling with their defense for quite some time. They will also be desperate to secure a win this Thursday at home, as they are not that confident about their prowess on the road.

Considering these observations, expect a goal-fest this Thursday.
