The first of two encounters in the Europa League 16th Finals, as the hometeam Eintracht Frankfurt will try to edge Salzburg in their own ballpark.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Eintracht Frankfurt form and stats
Eintracht Frankfurt participated in Europa League the last season, where they reached the semi-finals and lost against Chelsea.The story so far in the Bundesliga for Eintracht Frankfurt at their home stadium (Commerzbank-Arena) is 6 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats. 8W-0D-4L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Europa League for Eintracht Frankfurt. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Eintracht Frankfurt after consecutive victories at their own ground.
In their previous game, the manager A. Hütter led his Eintracht Frankfurt to a defeat in the Bundesliga match away at Borussia Dortmund. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Commerzbank-Arena. Before that game, the 5-0 home victory against Augsburg.
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.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Eintracht Frankfurt have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won four times, drawn one and lost four.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Eintracht Frankfurt, as the Bundesliga home game vs Union Berlin is only four days away.

Salzburg form and stats
Salzburg's mission in Europa League last season failed in the 8th finals against Napoli.Salzburg's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Salzburg collect 19 points from their 9 away matches in the Tipico Bundesliga. 5 victories and 4 draws have created these points (and only 0 defeats). Salzburg are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played eleven in a row without losing.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Tipico Bundesliga home defeat versus LASK Linz with 2-3 on the scoreboard. Before that one, a nice away victory 3-0 at Amstetten.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Tipico Bundesliga trip to Austria Wien.
