The Gers will not have the luxury of home advantage against Eintracht Frankfurt in the final, but they would be counting on their fans to turn up in their numbers.
Defender Balogun is happy with the support from the fans and is confident that they will cheer them on when both teams square off at the Ramon Sanches-Pizjuan.
