This Thursday, compete for the return matches of the final round of Europa League. Frankfurt receives Strasbourg. Both teams hope to qualify for the group stage.
Before competing in this final Europa League preliminary round, Frankfurt defeated Flora (2-1 wins away and home) and Vaduz (5-0 away and 1-0 at home) . In the first leg played last week, Eintracht made a bad move by bowing to Strasbourg (0-1). The Germans are still able to qualify if they win in their stadium. In the Bundesliga, Frankfurt first won at home against Hoffenheim (1-0) before losing to Leipzig last weekend (1-2).
Winner of the Coupe de la Ligue last May, Strasbourg has composted his ticket for these Europa League qualifications. After dismissing the Israelis from Maccabi Haifa (3-1 win at home and losing 1-2 away) and Bulgarians from Lokomotiv Plovdiv (1-0 away wins at home and away), the Alsatian side dominated , in front of his supporters, Frankfurt last week (1-0). Tired of his European course, the SCN has still not won in the league. Held in check by Metz (1-1) and Reims (0-0) in the first 2 days, Thierry Laurey’s men lost at home against Rennes last weekend (0-2).
Two elements are lacking in Frankfurt for this return match: it is the replacement Russ and the Israeli international Tawatha, who is on the start. The indispensable Croatian winger Rebic and midfielder Gacinovic are uncertain. The goalkeeper Trapp should be titularized just like another former L1, midfielder Gelson Fernandes. Just arrived Dutch striker Bas Dost (ex-Sporting) is not qualified.
For Strasbourg, it is important to mention the packages of the potential holders Caci, Sissoko and Fofana, and that of the replacement Aaneba. Thierry Laurey put some things to rest last weekend for the second leg. The team should look a lot like the one who won the first leg. Defenders Mitrovic and Lala, midfielders Thomasson and Liénard and striker Ajorque could start the match.
The likely composition of Frankfurt:
Trapp – Abraham, Hasebe, Hinteregger – Da Costa, Rode, Fernandes, Kostic – Kamada – Rebic (or Joveljic), Paciencia.
Absent: Russ, Tawatha (injured), Dost (unqualified).
Uncertain: Rebic, Gacinovic.
The planned tactical arrangement (3-4-1-1):
Trapp
Abraham – Hasebe – Hinteregger
Da Costa – Rode – Fernandes – Kostic
Kamada
Rebic – Paciencia
The probable composition of Strasbourg:
Salts – Lala, Kone, Mitrovic, Djiku, Carole – Thomasson, Martin, Liénard – Ajorque, Zohi.
Absent: Caci, Sissoko, Fofana, Aaneba (injured).
Uncertain: None.
The planned tactical disposition (5-3-2):
Salts
Lala – Koné – Mitrovic – Djiku – Carole
Thomasson – Martin – Liénard
Ajorque – Zohi
The two teams met only once in an official match. It was last week and Strasbourg has won, pretty happy (only shot shot) at home.
– Victorious in his first six official matches of the season, Frankfurt remains today in two defeats.
– Unaccustomed by such a series of matches, Strasbourg seems blunted by this busy start to the season.
– Both teams made a turnover last weekend to keep a maximum of freshness for this return match.
– Frankfurt was impressive last season in the Europa League in its stadium (5 wins, 2 draws).
In his den, Frankfurt can showcase his experience of European games (semifinalist C3 last year) to win this Thursday. Victory Frankfurt
