The starting lineup for each team is indicated from their last match in this tournament.
Eintracht Frankfurt
Frankfurt secured their second consecutive victory in the Europa League, defeating RFS 1-0 in the last round. The team started the group stage with a draw against Viktoria Plzen (3:3). As a result, Eintracht extended their unbeaten streak in Europe's second-tier tournament to 16 matches (9 wins, 7 draws). The same 16 matches also count towards Frankfurt’s goal-scoring streak in the Europa League. In the current tournament standings, the German club is in 6th place, trailing the leader by 2 points.
- Goals were exchanged in 12 of Eintracht's last 14 Europa League encounters.
- The team's unbeaten home streak in Europe's second most prestigious cup is 8 matches (3 wins, 5 draws).
- Frankfurt failed to score more than 1 goal in 4 of their last 5 home matches in the Europa League.
Slavia Prague
The results of the Prague-based team in the group stage are on a downward trend: after a victory at the start of the tournament over Ludogorets with a score of 2-0, they drew with Ajax (1:1), and in the last round, they suffered a loss to Athletic Bilbao (0:1). Additionally, Slavia's 7-match goal-scoring streak in the Europa League came to an end in the game against Bilbao. Nonetheless, the defense of the Czech team is one of the most reliable at this stage of the tournament, with only 2 goals conceded, fewer than only 5 other clubs. In the Europa League standings, Slavia occupies the 16th position, trailing Eintracht by 3 points.
- The team scored in 15 of their last 17 matches in Europe's second strongest tournament.
- Slavia's uncompromising away streak in the Europa League counts 7 matches (3 wins, 4 losses).
- No more than 3 goals were scored in 10 of the last 12 away matches of the Prague team in this tournament.
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Slavia Prague: match prediction
Frankfurt started well in the current iteration of the tournament. In general, the German club plays splendidly in the Europa League, with their last performance in the 2021/22 season ending triumphantly. As mentioned above, Eintracht’s unbeaten streak in the Europa League is an impressive 16 matches. I believe that Frankfurt will extend it, especially since they will be hosting Slavia at their home ground.
The Czech club looked decent in the last round's match against Athletic, creating even more scoring opportunities than the hosts, yet still lost. I believe that Slavia lacks stability and the class of players. Moreover, the Prague team performs weakly on the road in European competitions, failing to win in 7 out of their last 10 away matches in the Europa League, with 5 losses.
Against such an opponent, Eintracht, who is in excellent form, should not lose. At the same time, I do not expect a large number of goals in the upcoming match. No more than 3 goals were scored in 8 of Frankfurt's last 11 Europa League encounters. And the away matches of the Czechs in this tournament are not high-scoring either, with fewer than 3 goals scored in 10 of the last 12 games.
Therefore, my prediction is "1X + Under 3.5" with the odds of
