Eintracht Frankfurt vs Ajax Preview and Team News

Eintracht Frankfurt Team News

Eintracht managed to defy all the odds and get the better of Ajax in the first leg, beating their opponents 2-1. Dino Toppmöller’s men conceded early, but the visitors bounced back, and eventually, Ellyes Skhiri brought victory to the German side.

Nevertheless, things are going awfully for Eintracht in the Bundesliga. They’ve lost three games in a row. In the last round, they faced Union Berlin, and it was their second consecutive home defeat out of the previous 17 fixtures.

Nnamdi Collins was booked in the last H2H and will miss the clash. Junior Dina Ebimbe has just returned from an injury, but his participation in the upcoming match is unlikely. 

Eintracht Frankfurt predicted lineup vs Ajax (3-4-2-1): Trapp; Tuta, Theate, Brown; Kristensen, Larsson, Bahoya, Knauff; Gotze, Chaibi; Etikite.

Ajax Team News

Despite Ajax’s magnificent form, the Dutch side failed to get a favourable result against the German opposition. Prior to the first leg, they had won seven of their eight matches but eventually succumbed to a defeat.

In the Eredivisie, Ajax are first, eight points clear of second-placed PSV. They’ll be in a good mood ahead of Eintracht, as they’ve managed to beat Zwolle 1-0 on the road. 

Former Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson received a yellow card, and will be suspended, just like Davy Klaassen. Remko Pasveer suffered a groin injury and won’t be available either. 

We expect Jay Gorter to replace him. With the absence of Pasveer, Henderson and Klaassen, Ajax need to enter this clash without their most experienced players. With the exception of Rugani, Berghuis and Traore, the Ajax lineup is very young, a trait that could make the difference against an experienced Bundesliga team. 

Ajax predicted lineup vs Eintracht Frankfurt (4-3-3): Gorter; Gaaei, Sutalo, Rugani, Hato; Mokio, Taylor, Fitz-Jim; Traore, Brobbey, Berghuis.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Ajax Prediction 

• Pick: Eintracht to Win
• Odds: 1.91 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 Ajax

Eintracht might struggle domestically, but they have performed well so far in the Europa League. In the first leg, they had 1.60 xG and were better than their opponents, producing 17 shot attempts.

We think that in the upcoming clash, the German team will have even more initiative and an advantage in possession. Also, it’s an ideal opportunity to recover after a lacklustre performance over Union.

After starting from the bench, Hugo Etikite will likely feature from the first minute and we expect the young talent to shine against Ajax. The hosts are favourites and our first pick in the game would be Eintracht to win. 

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Ajax Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
• Odds: 1.72 (22Bet)

Both sides are fond of attacking football, and similar to the first match, we anticipate dangerous moments on both ends. Ajax have no other choice but to take risks, which will give their opponents chances in the offence.

Eintracht’s last three home games ended with at least three goals. The hosts have problems in the defence, but the visitors are also unreliable, which promises a thrilling event.

While each mistake could prove to be costly for these teams, we think the fans will see a high-scoring affair. Our second pick in this encounter would be over 2.5 goals.
