The 2nd legs of the 2nd qualifying round of the Europa League continue on Thursday night with German side, Eintracht Frankfurt, taking on Estonian outfit, Flora Tallinn, as the betting tips continue at the Commerzbank-Arena.
Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction – Can Eintracht Frankfurt avoid shock?
Although they suffered earlier defeats in their pre-season warm-up matches, German hosts, Eintracht Frankfurt, will fancy their chances of progressing here.
Thursday night’s hosts secured a valuable 2-1 win away in Estonia in last week’s 1st leg at the A. Le Coq Arena against tonight’s opponents, Flora Tallinn.
They now just need to avoid defeat in this return leg on home turf in this deciding leg at their Commerzbank-Arena to progress to the next qualifying round.
Early season defeats to Wolfsburg (on penalties) and Young Boys in club friendlies have resulted in Frankfurt bouncing back in style.
Emphatic friendly wins against Luzern 3-1 away and a 7-0 win at Wels were either side of last week’s Europa League win against Flora Tallinn.
Despite winning just 1 of their last 6 matches at home, this was against Benfica and they also held the likes of Hertha Berlin and Chelsea to draws on home soil in recent times.
The Germans possess a very strong record though at home in the Europa League as they’ve put together a 13-match unbeaten sequence in this competition.
This includes 9 wins for the hosts too.
Flora Tallinn Prediction – Can Lechia Gdansk keep Brondby at bay?
Last week’s 1st leg 2-1 defeat at the hands of German opponents, Eintracht Frankfurt, became Flora Tallinn’s first defeat in 7 matches.
The visitors had previously registered 5 wins out of their prior 6 matches in all competitions, including victory in the previous round of the Europa League.
A 4-2 aggregate win over Serbian club, Radnicki Nis consisted of a 2-0 win at home in the 1st leg and a 2-2 draw away in the 2nd.
However, although they’re unbeaten in their last 10 away matches in all competitions, to concede 2 goals away at Radnicki suggests they could struggle against the stronger Frankfurt side tonight.
9 away wins in the Estonian Meistriliiga is very different from gaining wins on the road in this step up in quality in the Europa League.
Indeed, Flora Tallinn have managed to record just 2 away wins from their previous 14 ties on their travels in this competition.
8 defeats and also failing to score in 8 of these 14 away ties must surely place Flora Tallinn in a weak position ahead of their trip to Frankfurt on Thursday night.
Key-Facts – Eintracht Frankfurt v Flora Tallinn
- Eintracht Frankfurt are unbeaten in their last 13 home ties in the Europa League
- The hosts have also kept 7 clean sheets from these 13 matches
- Flora Tallinn have managed to record just 2 wins from their previous 14 away ties
Betting Tips Verdict
Eintracht Frankfurt should win this 2nd leg comfortably and look set to keep a clean sheet too.
