Eintracht Frankfurt form and stats

Eintracht Frankfurt was eliminated in the semi-finals last season in the Europa League. Chelsea was too strong.

6-3-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Bundesliga numbers at home for Eintracht Frankfurt so far this season. On the other hand, in the Europa League, Eintracht Frankfurt has performed like this (both home and away): 9 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Eintracht Frankfurt to get some points in this home game.

In their previous game, the manager A. Hütter led his Eintracht Frankfurt to a defeat in the Bundesliga match away at Bayer Leverkusen. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Commerzbank-Arena. Before that, Eintracht Frankfurt had a DFB Pokal home game versus Werder Bremen which ended with a victory 2-0.

As you see from the result above, Eintracht Frankfurt suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Borussia M'gladbach are coming to town in three days.

The Eintracht Frankfurt manager A. Hütter has got the team scoring with 27 from 12 home games in the league. Eintracht Frankfurt have conceded 16 in these home matches.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
