Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Europa League match.
Eintracht Frankfurt's spectacular form in the latest phase of the season has rightfully placed them at the top of the standings in both the Bundesliga and the Europa League. Visiting Midtjylland, they will repeatedly punish the opposition for any lapses at the back, thereby inching closer to the top spot of the group table.
Midtjylland
On Monday, Midtjylland ended their run of four defeats with a hard-fought victory over Silkeborg (1:0), despite creating almost half the goal-scoring opportunities (0.74-1.34 in xG). In the Europa League, the Danish team faced a significant setback in Bucharest: against FCSB (0:2), Midtjylland found themselves two goals down at the start of the second half and a series of substitutions towards the end failed to spark their attack—the Scandinavians allowed 1.75 xGA from 13 shots.
Eintracht Frankfurt
The recent Bundesliga match against Werder Bremen (1:0) demonstrated that Eintracht can secure victories without a standout performance from Omar Marmoush—the sole goal came from an attack orchestrated by Hugo Ekitike and Mario Götze. Injuries to Aurèle Amenda, Oscar Højlund, and Rasmus Christensen pose a challenge, but Dino Toppmöller has become adept at maximising his available resources. Frankfurt rank in the top three in the Bundesliga for expected goals (23.90) and in the Europa League, only Lazio have accumulated more points (12) than their 10.
Midtjylland vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction
The difference in current form between Midtjylland and Eintracht Frankfurt is clear. The German side are set to take all three points and extend their winning streak to five matches.
