Eintracht Frankfurt will welcome Royale Union Saint-Gilloise to Deutsche Bank Park on Thursday for a Europa Conference League second-leg one-on-one clash, with kickoff slated for 20:00 GMT.
Key Highlights
Eintracht Frankfurt’s Poor Domestic Form
Eintracht Frankfurt warmed up for the home clash against Saint-Gilloise with a 3-3 draw away to Freiburg. This was their second consecutive draw in the Bundesliga and the third draw in all competitions.
They were held to a 1-1 draw at home to VfL Bochum the previous weekend before they drew 2-2 away to Union Saint-Gilloise in the first leg of their Europa Conference League match.
The three consecutive draws show that Eintracht need to bolster their cutting edge in the final third and compactness in the defensive phase to stand a chance of overcoming Saint-Gilloise on Thursday.
Union Saint-Gilloise’s Positive Domestic Form
Saint-Gilloise lead the Belgian Pro League with 62 points from 26 matches; they are eight points clear of second-placed Anderlecht.
They have won three and drawn twice in their last five matches, an unbeaten run that has seen them solidify their hold of the top spot in the league.
Union Saint-Gilloise warmed up for the trip to Deutsche Bank Park with a convincing 1-3 win away to Kortrijk.
After drawing 2-2 at home, Saint-Gilloise will look to be compact in the second leg as they look to shut out Eintracht while bolstering their ability to create and take chances.
