Eintracht started the current Conference League season in the final round of qualification, where they defeated Bulgarian Levski 3-1 in two games. At the group stage, the Frankfurt club found itself in the same quartet as PAOK, Aberdeen and HIK. As a result, the Germans lost to the Greek team in both meetings and in matches with modest Scots and Finns scored a total of nine points out of a possible twelve. This allowed the club to enter the playoffs from second place, with rather mediocre press coverage. Union St Gillois started their European Cup journey in the Europa League. Having beaten Lugano in both meetings, the third Belgian team at the end of last season, got into a rather interesting group with Liverpool, Toulouse and LASC. Who would have thought three years ago that the Belgian team, which is not even in the elite division of their country, will be able to get a historic victory over one of the strongest teams on the continent - Liverpool. Despite this important experience, the Belgian team came into the first play-off game against Eintracht in a relaxed state and conceded two goals from the Germans after the first ten minutes. Thankfully, Union St Gillois had enough class to equalise in the first half and finally equalise in the second half - 2:2. Bookmakers have identified the home team as favourites for the upcoming meeting, offering odds of 2.01 on its victory.

Eintracht in mid-November last year lost the playing form and can not restore it until today. For the return meeting with the Belgians, the team will come out in a series of four winless meetings in a row. On Sunday, the Frankfurt team had an opportunity to beat Freiburg in the championship, but lost to them at the expense of a goal in the 90th minute. In the Bundesliga, Eintracht occupy the current sixth place, with no practical chance to go higher. Union St Gillois are currently leading the Belgian league in dominant style. An advantage of eight points over second place and seventeen over third place allows the players to focus on the match in Frankfurt am Main. Most likely, the ambitious visitors will have enough ability to play successfully.
