Lazio vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League

Prediction published on 11/12/2018, 01:12  by Daniel Ngulu in Europa League Prediction

The first leg meeting between the two sides was an ill - tempered affair back in Germany, which ended 4 – 1 in favor of Frankfurt. Seven yellow cards and two red cards were flashed in the game as the Italians took a big dent to their ambitions. With the two teams securing places in the second round, we don’t expect another such clash but among the players who will be under much focus in this clash will be Frankfurt’s Luka Jovic, who has 10 goals in the Bundesliga and five in Europa League. He scored twice in the last game and also got one against Lazio in Germany. Frenchman Sebastien Haller will also be under scrutiny, having netted nine in the Bundesliga and two in Europa League. Eintracht Frankfurt’s 11 match unbeaten run was ended by Wolfsburg and they also went on to lose to Hertha Berlin. It will be interesting to see how they react to the two straight losses when they head to this game, especially considering they are already through as group leaders. Eintracht Frankfurt have failed to score just once in their last 20 matches and their lead scorer, Jovic, has scored in four of the five Europa League matches for the team. Eintracht Frankfurt are unbeaten in nine Europa League matches, winning seven, while they have lost just once in their last 18 Europa League matches. Five of their last six Europa League matches have produced over 2.5 goals, while they have played 10 away matches in the competition and only lost once, winning five times. Lazio, on the other hand, go to this game winless in their last five matches, having drawn four and lost once. They have no clean sheet in the last nine matches while the last 15 matches have yielded just two clean sheets for Lazio. The Italian side is unbeaten in eight home matches in the competition but they have conceded in each of their last six. Of the last eight home matches in Europa League, Lazio have scored two or more in six.
