Teams Status

Take a look at the latest form and team news from West Ham and Eintracht Frankfurt:

West Ham Form and Team News

The Hammers have overcome some solid opposition on their way to the semis, going past Sevilla and Olympique Lyon. Their three-nil win away at Lyon is their only win in their last five matches, with two draws and two losses. Losing to Chelsea over the weekend would have hurt the Hammers, especially as they conceded a penalty and a goal late.

Notably, the Hammers have not lost at home since January, racking up five wins and three draws since that loss. They will hope Jared Bowen finds his shooting boots against Eintracht Frankfurt, as he has been their biggest threat up front with three goals and one assist. Kurt Zouma and Issa Diop are West Ham’s absentees as they are injured.

Eintracht Frankfurt Form and Team News

Eintracht Frankfurt pulled off a shocker as they defeated Barcelona in Camp Nou by three goals to two. That night was historic for the German team, and it was their second win in ten games in all competitions. They have failed to win since, losing to Union Berlin and playing a 2-2 draw with Hoffenheim.

The Germans will be counting on prominent midfielders Daichi Kamada and Filip Kostic, who have provided seven goals and six assists between them. Notably, Eintracht Frankfurt have only lost twice in their last ten away games, winning six times and drawing twice.

Frankfurt will travel to London without Christopher Lenz and Stefan Ilsanker, who are currently sidelined with injuries.
