A really good and entertaining game in the first leg should mean that there's plenty of eyes watching when Frankfurt host Union St Gilloise in the second leg of their game in Germany on Thursday. A place in the knockout phase of the Europa Conference League awaits, and it's where both clubs are expected to be, so someone is going to be left disappointed. We saw four goals and a red card in the first game, it ended 2-2, and that means it's all to play for here.
Frankfurt Form GuideWe saw two or three teams quickly put themselves into good positions in the first leg, only for them to be pegged back, and Frankfurt were one of those. After 10 minutes in their away leg, the German side were winning 2-0 and cruising into the next round, but it was all change afterwards, they lost a lot of momentum, and eventually lost the advantage they had built up.
They'll be hoping for the first 10 minutes again here, but this time, using the German crowd they will have behind them to ensure that it doesn't drop, and that Frankfurt can make the next round of this competition.
Union St Gilloise Form GuideWe should give Union St Gilloise a lot of credit for how they battled back last week, and took something from a game where they were shell shocked at the start. A draw is good, but of course, they would have headed into that first game looking to have an advantage they could bring to Germany for this tie.
To further aid their chances, they'll know they played out the final part of the game with 10 men last week, a sending off in the 78 minutes left them short, but that didn't impact the scoreline.
Match PredictionTwo good sides going head to head here, I am going to give a slight advantage to Frankfurt. Good at the start last week, but unable to keep it going, I will take them to win this and reach the knockout phase.
