Eintracht Frankfurt hosts Flora in the second leg of the Europa League qualification quarterfinals. The match will be played on Thursday, August 1st at Commerzbank-Arena (Frankfurt)
Eintracht didn’t impress with its game in Estonia. The Germans shot on goal a lot, but often from a distance, so they created only some dangerous moments. Nevertheless, they feel a shortage of Jovic, and Paciencia is not yet ready to become a full-fledged replacement for a Serb. As a result, a Portuguese rarely receives passes from partners and has a good opportunity to score. However, this is not the main reason that Eintracht played poorly in its first official match. The Germans relied on the home match, where they will try to please the fans.

Flora lacked 20 minutes to create a sensation. Estonians conceded an annoying goal from Eintracht at 71st minute and suffered a loss with a minimum score. However, their opponent did not give 100%. Yes, Flora can be praised for the heroic game, and first of all, it is worth noting the goalkeeper of Flora, who stroke aside 8 of 10 shots on target. But it was noticeable that Eintracht did not even try to organize an onslaught on the net of the Estonians and seemed to be content with a draw if the game would end 1-1.
The Germans don't need to arrange a crushing defeat; it will be enough to win with a minimum score. But the fact that Eintracht holds the first home match of this season, and it allows us to count on the activity of the Eagles throughout the 90 minutes. Moreover, Eintracht failed the ending of last season, so it needs to please the fans with goals. In addition, the Germans need to gain a game shape. The Bundesliga starts soon. Therefore, the match, albeit not with a formidable opponent, will be a good opportunity for the Eagles to test the fighting capability of the players at the official level. I do not think that Flora will avoid devastating defeat. Last season, for example, the Estonians lost 5-0 to Apoel in the Europa League qualification. Generally, Flora has consistently lost away European cup matches in recent years, including losing even to Lincoln from Gibraltar with a 2-0 score. Now Flora will have to restrain the onslaught of the Europa League semifinalist. And I believe that the Germans will crush the Estonians in their lair.
Prediction for the match: Eintracht Frankfurt to win with -3.5 handicap
