Match Prediction-Leipzig vs Rangers Betting Tips and Match Prediction
On some level, David Moyes may be relieved that West Ham are still in the tie after conceding so early, but the Scot will be equally disappointed that he and his squad are travelling to Deutsche Bank Park with a monumental task ahead of them.
Injuries and suspensions have played their part in their poor recent form, West Ham heading into this game on the back of one win and four defeats from seven matches in all competitions. The latest of those setbacks came at home to Arsenal on Sunday and with Manchester United having moved six points clear in the race for sixth position, West Ham are staring at Europa Conference League football unless they can turn things around on Thursday night.

Holding a lead ahead of a home second leg, there is an argument that Frankfurt find themselves under more pressure, particularly after a dismal campaign in the Bundesliga. A six-match winless streak has resulted in Frankfurt dropping into the bottom half of the table, raising the stakes for Oliver Glasner to deliver a trophy in this competition.
The goals from Ansgar Knauff and Daichi Kamada have put the Eagles very much in the driving seat, but it has removed an underdog tag that has followed Frankfurt throughout the knockout stages. Furthermore, Frankfurt have gone six matches without recording a home win in any competition, their only two victories in 11 outings coming at Barcelona and the home of their upcoming opponents.

Given the current aggregate scoreline, both teams will have to find a balance during the second leg, but this is a game between two sides who have struggled for clean sheets of late. Expect goals aplenty on Thursday night but we feel that Frankfurt showed enough at the London Stadium to indicate that they will be difficult to beat in front of their own supporters.
West Ham United have been impressive under David Moyes so far and will need to work hard to overturn their one-goal deficit. The likes of Declan Rice and Jarrod Bowen have been revelations this season and will want to make their mark in this fixture. Frankfurt have been inconsistent this season but managed to step up admirably in the first leg. Both teams are on an even footing at the moment and could play out a draw this week, with the Germans progressing to the final.
Frankfurt 2-2 West Ham United, predicted by us.
