Eintracht Frankfurt hosts Standard Liege in round 3 of the Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, October 24th at Commerzbank-Arena (Frankfurt)
Eintracht lost to Arsenal at home in the first group stage match. And it’s not even the loss itself that surprises, but the fact that it happened in an unusual manner (0-3). That is, it was a whitewash. Eintracht, which scored everyone in recent seasons, lost without scoring a goal! In the last round of the Bundesliga, for example, it beat Bayer with the same 3-0 score. And the Eagles scored in all matches of the championship, without exception. However, Guimaraes was beaten in the last round (1-0).

Standard played in the group the same way. It lost to Arsenal and beat the Portuguese. In the local championship, Standard lost 1st place to Brugge, having played two of the last three matches in a draw. The team from Liege concedes quite a lot as for one of the leaders of the championship - 9 goals conceded in 11 rounds. As for away games in the past 2 months, the defense of Standard misfires regularly. It played outside Liege five times and conceded in all matches (in three cases, more than one goal was conceded).
Eintracht strengthened the attacking line after last season. The team got the “fresh blood” in the face of Bas Dost (bought form Sporting) and Andreas Silva (rented from Milan). The guys joined the team very quickly. The first one scored 3 goals in 5 games played. The second also scored three goals but played a match less. But there is also Paciencia, who has already scored half a dozen goals in 8 rounds. This trinity and its partners will not leave the net of the Belgians without attention. The Eagles need to catch up with Arsenal and outrank Standard by a distance of 3 points. Eintracht will regularly besiege the penalty area of the visitors as it usually does in the home arena. And it will score. The Eagles did not score in only one of the last 10 home games, with Arsenal mentioned above. And they scored more than one goal in seven cases. They will score at least a couple to the net of the Belgians either. Those have problems in defense, and the Germans are very good and effective in the attack at home.
Prediction for the match: Eintracht Frankfurt to score over 1.5 goals
