Arsenal vs Eintracht Frankfurt Live Stats & Betting Odds
Arsenal Prediction – Can Arsenal confirm progression?
Striker Lacazette saved Arsenal’s (and Unai Emery’s) bacon on Saturday when he scored a brace to earn Arsenal a point against strugglers, Southampton, in the Premier League but it was still a disappointing result, so Arsenal will perhaps be relieved to be back on the European front this Thursday night where they’ll be looking to confirm their involvement in the knockout stages.
Arsenal have enjoyed a successful Europa League campaign to date as The Gunners sit top of Group F with 10 points and hold a 4-point lead over Standard Liege and tonight’s opponents, Eintracht Frankfurt, but a win on Matchday 5 would secure their place in the next stage.
The hosts have yet to be beaten so far in this campaign which includes winning both of their home matches with victories over Standard Liege and Vitoria Guimaraes, while a win on the road at Eintracht Frankfurt in a 3-0 win in Germany was added to by a point in a 1-1 draw at Vitoria Guimaraes.
Results at home in the Europa League have been exemplary by Arsenal though as the hosts have won their last 7 home ties on the trot and have also kept 5 clean sheets in the process, while the bigger picture shows that Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 12 home ties in this competition.
Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction – Can Frankfurt close the gap?
Being 4 points behind Group F leaders, Arsenal (along with rivals Standard Liege), anything the visitors can get from their trip to London on Thursday night would be most welcome for Eintracht Frankfurt manager, Adi Hutter I’d imagine.
This is mainly because Eintracht Frankfurt have lost their last 3 matches on the trot in all competitions with defeats to Standard Liege on Matchday 4 together with back-to-back losses in the Bundesliga to Freiburg and Wolfsburg.
Results in the Europa League have also been inconsistent as the Germans have recorded wins over Vitoria Guimaraes (away) and a 2-1 home win against Standard Liege but they’ve also been soundly beaten by Arsenal at home and away at Standard Liege.
The trend continues away from home in this competition too as Frankfurt have won 4 lost 4 and drawn 1 of their last 9 away ties at this level but the fact that they were given a hiding at home by Arsenal on Matchday 1 may be the best indicator to the outcome of this upcoming clash.
Key-Facts – Arsenal vs Eintracht Frankfurt
- Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 12 home ties in this competition
- Arsenal have won their last 7 home ties on the trot in the Europa League
- Eintracht Frankfurt have lost their last 3 matches on the trot in all competitions
Betting Tips Verdict
Arsenal are hard to beat at home against anybody and they should secure the points against Eintracht Frankfurt here.
