Eintracht Frankfurt will take on Barcelona in the Europa League quarter-finals on Thursday evening. The hosts will search for a surprise and a positive result in front of their fans, while the away side looks forward to extending its streak.
Eintracht Frankfurt Preview & Team News
Eintracht Frankfurt head into this game following a 0:0 Bundesliga stalemate against Greuther Furth. It was their fourth straight game without a defeat in the German top-flight, which kept them in the game for the continental ticket. Their most recent results highlight the fact that things are going according to plan in the Eintracht Frankfurt defense. Eintracht Frankfurt has given the opposition little, seeing the total number of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper during their last six clashes standing at 4. The German side now faces another Spanish team after eliminating Betis, but this challenge will be much tougher.
Barcelona Preview & Team News
Barcelona will go into this clash following a 1:0 La Liga win as they beat Sevilla in their most recent match. It was their fourth straight win in all competitions, and Barca advanced to 2nd place in the domestic championship. A sequence of reliable displays from the Barcelona defense has seen their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 2 from their previous six fixtures overall. During the same period of time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 13. The Spanish team has improved its game significantly after Xavi took over the bench, but it will likely be too late to get involved in the title race. However, they will seek continental glory in the Europa League.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Although Eintracht hasn’t lost seven times in a row in all competitions, they are underdogs in this encounter. Barcelona is in a much better momentum, and they should get back home with an advantage from the first-leg game.
Goals Market Prediction
Both teams have been pretty disciplined in the back lately, and Frankfurt will focus on keeping their net safe. Therefore, we don’t think there will be more than two goals in total in this encounter.
