Eintracht Frankfurt hosts Red Bull Salzburg in the first leg of the Europa League 1/16 finals. The match will be played on Thursday, February 20th at Commerzbank-Arena (Frankfurt)
Eintracht is waiting for its Austrian guests in relatively good shape, despite the defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the last round of the Bundesliga (4:0). Before that match, the Eagles were invincible for five consecutive matches, and three of them ended with three or more goals scored. Therefore, they are in apple-pie order. As for the European part of the season, the Eagles also show very decent results. Their home record in the Europa League has been stunning in recent years, as they have remained unbeaten in 16 of their last 19 games (13 wins). And six out of the last seven matches pleased the fans with a bright attacking show.

In fact, the Bulls have serious experience playing in the Europa League since this is already the seventh promotion of the Austrians to the 1/16 stage of the competition. But in general, their performance in the Europa League away games is not so good because they lost seven of their 11 last games. Nevertheless, Red Bull is an excellent attacking team, which became the most scoring team in the group stage of the Champions League (even though Liverpool and Napoli were in the group), and one of the most conceding (13 goals in 6 matches).
Thus, we are likely to see an open game of two attacking teams with a slight advantage for the home team. Recently, the Eagles have significantly added to their game, but the Salzburg team is not timid, and we shouldn’t wait for a defensive game from it.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
