Eintracht Frankfurt vs Barcelona predictions and betting tips

Barcelona are in top form heading into the first leg of the Europa League quarter-final. They are on a four-game winning streak. Eintracht Frankfurt are not in poor form but not in the best form either. Frankfurt have drawn four straight games even though they haven’t lost in seven games.

Based on current form, the Spanish side edges the German team in top stats. One thing to notice about Barca is that they have consistently beaten each of their opponents while playing away in the Europa League. Expecting a similar result in this game.

Predictions for this match are Asian Handicap (-0.5) on Barcelona and both teams to score (NO). Frankfurt have struggled to score in their last four games, with two goals and two goals conceded. I don’t see them scoring against Barca’s defence in this game. There might not be a wide margin in the scoreline but the chances of Barca winning by one or more goals is high.

Betting prediction: Asian handicap (-0.5) on Barcelona

Odds: 1.66 (-150 American; 2/3 Fractional)

Betting prediction: Both teams to score (No)

Odds: 2.10 (+110 American; 11/10 Fractional)
