Eintracht Frankfurt vs Barcelona Analysis
Barcelona travel to Germany on Thursday night looking to continue their resurgence under former club legend Xavi.
The Catalan giants have rebounded from mid-table since he took over to now 2nd in the table as they continue to improve with each passing week.
They face an Eintracht Frankfurt team on Thursday that are unbeaten in their last four and occupy a top half position in the Bundesliga table after a successful progression against Real Betis in the last round.
This will be the teams’ first meeting in European competition history.
Barcelona Overflowing With Confidence
What a turnaround it’s been for Barcelona since Xavi’s appointment at the end of last year.
Since his arrival back at his former club on November 6th, Barcelona, who were languishing down in 10th in the table, have now rebounded incredibly, owning the league’s most goals scored since November 6th, the league’s best expected goals against record on defense, and the most accumulated expected points tally also.
Huge Demand In Frankfurt
Over a quarter of a million people have requested tickets for Thursday’s huge Europa League quarter-final game against Barcelona as demand for the home side’s first ever head-to-head against the Spanish giants has reached fever pitch.
The home fans have some reason for optimism here also as they’ve never lost a knockout tie against Spanish opposition in their club’s history (W5, D2).
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Barcelona Prediction
Eintracht Frankfurt secured a solid victory in the last round against Spanish opposition but face a far tougher test here on Thursday.
Barcelona are in absolutely rampant form right now, not having lost outside of domestic cup action since December.
They’ve also bagged a colossal 2.55 goals per game in LaLiga over 2022 so far and face a team in Eintracht Frankfurt with an absolutely woeful home record this season.
The German side are 15th in the table this season on home form, winning just four games all year inside Deutsche Bank Park and have scored just two goals over their last five home games as well.
That dip in form should be more than enough for Barcelona to capitalize on in this one and we like the Spanish giants to win outright here on Thursday in their Europa league quarter-final matchup against Eintracht Frankfurt.
