Eintracht Frankfurt vs Ajax Tips & Preview - Expect goals in open contest
- Eintracht Frankfurt won 2-1 in Amsterdam, despite recent mixed form.
- Ajax confident after recent away victories, aims to overturn deficit.
- Both teams boast strong attacks but struggle defensively in Europe.
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Ajax
Eintracht Frankfurt return to Germany with a slim advantage as they host Ajax in their UEFA Europa League round of 16 second leg.
The Dutch side will believe they can turn things around having picked up some key results on their recent travels while the hosts are unconvincing at home. Another open contest is on the cards here and goals can be expected.
Eintracht Frankfurt Form
Eintracht Frankfurt produced a fine performance in the first leg to claim a 2-1 victory in Amsterdam. They recovered well from going behind early in the first half with efforts from Hugo Larsson and Ellyes Skhiri earning them the advantage.
The problem for Frankfurt is that the result was their only win in their last four matches across all competitions having lost three times in that run. Dino Toppmoller's men were beaten 2-1 by Union Berlin in a Bundesliga fixture last weekend to make it two straight home defeats. However, they have won their last three Europa League fixtures in Germany, scoring first in all three.
Eintracht Frankfurt have quality going forward, scoring in six of their last seven matches across all competitions. However, they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in all seven fixtures while the last five in that run have produced over 2.5 goals.
Ajax Form
Ajax will be disappointed to have come away from the first leg empty-handed after making a bright start and scoring in the first 10 minutes through Brian Brobbey. They made a swift return to winning ways last Sunday, picking up a 1-0 Eredivisie victory over PEC Zwolle to make it three wins in the last four matches across all competitions.
Despite losing the first leg, Ajax will travel to Germany with some confidence having won their last four away matches across all competitions. However, Francesco Farioli's men have been inconsistent on their European travels with two wins and as many defeats in their last four Europa League away matches.
Like the hosts, Ajax often enjoy an open style of play and have scored in their last 10 matches in all competitions. However, they are without a clean sheet in six of their last seven Europa League matches, with three of the last four in that run producing over 2.5 goals.
Head to head
Prior to Eintracht Frankfurt's 2-1 victory in the first leg, the only previous meeting between both teams was was a friendly in 2020, with Ajax also claiming a 2-1 home win.
Verdict
Athletic Bilbao come into this clash with a solid record at home but face a Roma side bang in form and showing plenty of fight at the moment. Both teams showed their attacking quality in the first leg, scoring and producing over 2.5 goals, and a similar outcome is expected on Thursday.
Roma may be unconvincing on their Europa League travels but have drawn three of their last four away matches in the competition. They also have the experience of Ranieri on the sidelines and should do enough to progress.
