Eintracht Frankfurt vs Slavia Praha Preview
Eintracht Frankfurt
Eintracht Frankfurt, fresh off a four-game unbeaten run, will be keen on making it five against Slavia Praha in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday. At home, Eintracht is known to line up with a good organisation, be it in defence or midfield, and Praha will have to be on their vanguard at all times.
The Germans are currently 6th in the Europa League with 7 points after securing wins against Beşiktaş (1-3) and Rīgas FS (1-0). The match with Viktoria Plzen ended in a draw (3-3).
Eintracht’s attackers are enjoying a fine run of form at the moment, and the brilliant 7-2 win they picked up over Bochum in the Bundesliga last Saturday is ample proof of this. While Bochum’s defenders were far less sharp than Praha’s are going to be, it was a good confidence booster for Eintracht.
Slavia Praha
Slavia Praha too come into this game on the back of an unbeaten run, although theirs is of three games. They won two out of those three matches, and will arrive in Germany hoping that they are able to stave off the Eintracht challenge.
They sit 16th in the Europa League standings with mixed results. They have accumulated 4 points after a win against Ludogorets (0-2), a loss against Athletic Bilbao (1-0), and a draw with Ajax (1-1).
Praha often like to play with three defenders and three strikers, which means that their wingbacks have a lot of responsibility on their hands. This means that the pressure from Eintracht will have to be nullified by their four-man midfield, of which Dorley and Zafeiris will have to take the helm.

- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: 1.84 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Eintracht Frankfurt 3-2 Slavia Praha
Both teams look similar on paper, and it is going to be a hard call. What can be said for sure is that both will get on the scoresheet.
Praha have three key players injured, including Tomas Vlcek, Jindrich Stanek, and Lukas Vorlicky, and Eintracht will be keen on making the most of this.
For the German side, it is important that they do not lose sight of their goal, and focus on keeping possession for as long as possible. They will try to draw the Slavia defenders out of their position by keeping the ball and then open up spaces for their own wingers to try and exploit.

Frankfurt are known to invert themselves and support their three central defenders whenever they lose possession, but manager Jindrich Trpisovsky will want to keep the ball as much as possible. It is easy to fall back to a plan ‘B’, but Praha know that if they keep their attention to detail as much as possible, Eintracht will be forced to press high, and in turn, leave gaps in their defence.
The home team’s strikers have been in excellent form, and we can be sure of them scoring in this game, making Eintracht Frankfurt to score a reasonable bet.
