Last season only subordinated to Wolfsburg and failed to get tickets to participate in this season's Champions League, only able to play in this season's Europa League, Frankfurt, this season's performance in the Bundesliga is not too prominent, can only float in the middle of the league table, currently ranked 9th in the league list, 10 points behind the 6th place Berlin United, in this season's league only 3 rounds of competition, has been determined to use this season's league ranking to get the ticket to participate in next season's European competition (Champions League / Europa League / European Union) tickets, In addition, the German Cup this season has long been eliminated in the first round, so the competition for this season's Europa League has become the only way for the team to advance to the next season's European competition.
Frankfurt performed well in this season's Europa League, with the top 8 and the technical knockout of La Liga powerhouse Barcelona in the second round, which qualified for the top four; the team's goals this season mainly relied on two top scorers, Japanese midfielder Daichi Kamada and Colombian striker Rafael Borre, but in fact, it is largely related to the continued high level of performance of the left wing Philippe Kostic, the Serbian international has excellent transmission ability, this season has made up to 12 assists, the champion of the entire team. It has also become the source of goals for the team. However, Frankfurt's recent low situation, the team has only tasted one victory in the last 9 games, only achieved a record of 1 win, 6 draws and 2 losses, the one victory achieved is the away defeat of Barcelona; in contrast, its top 4 opponents Premier League team West Ham United, under the leadership of former Everton and Manchester United manager Moyes this season, has performed well, playing a solid football, due to the recent consecutive losses in the league, the chances of qualifying for the next season's Champions League group stage are becoming more and more slim, so they vow to compete for this season's Europa League title. And through this promotion to the Champions League group stage of the season.
West Ham United in this season's Europa League more and more courageous, but also eliminated the strong La Liga team Sevilla and Ligue 1 team Lyon, the main team such as DeKran Rice, Thomas Shoczek, Jerrod Bowen, Pablo Fornals and other states of courage, so compared with the strength of the two armies, it is really a five-five battle, it seems that there is a battle between the dragons and tigers.
