    It looks like a German Europa League final awaits us. If Glasgow Rangers have a chance of beating Leipzig in the return home game, it seems to me that West Ham have much less chance of beating Eintracht Frankfurt away leg. If they lost their home game, they are likely to lose at Frankfurt too.
    It won't always be like that, when they lose at home it doesn't mean they will lose at home too. I think the opportunity is still big enough for the two losing teams now because 1 goal Aggregate is not something that is quite difficult to pursue considering they are a very good club. playing at home does have its own advantages but on the other hand I still expect Westham to rise now because indeed this was not their best performance in Leg 1
    I also think that nothing has been decided yet in these semifinal pairs and surprises are possible. The only thing we can say with confidence now is that after minimal victories in the first matches, clubs from Germany have an advantage over their rivals. However, in my humble opinion, there is still some reason to talk about a likely German final, because the same Eintracht is playing its second leg at home with the frantic support of its fans, who have already proved their strength and dedication in their sensational departure to Barcelona. Leipzig is quite paradoxical this season and it is much better at away matches than at home, and taking into account the already existing one-ball advantage, all this is a fairly weighty argument in favor of Leipzig.
