Eintracht Frankfurt vs Salzburg Prediction & Betting tips
For many couples, February 20th, 2020 is a perfect date to get married. For others, real love is only about football. Next Thursday we are looking forward to the duel between Eintracht Frankfurt and Red Bull Salzburg at the start of the Europa League knockout round, in which, according to the odds, the Hessians should have a better chance of winning the first leg.
In the metropolis on the Main, fans are hoping for the next magical night of their SBU, which caused a sensation last year and cleared a few heavyweights on the way to the semi-finals. The Austrian champion can also be described as a large caliber, although the current form of the Wals-Siezenheimer is a bit of concern for those responsible for coach Jesse Marsch.
The “Red Bulls” have only won one of their last five games in their home league and, as the table shows, have lost top position to Linz’s ASK. After the two key players Erling Haaland (BVB) and Takumi Minamino (Liverpool) left in the winter, the club that won more games in the Europa League (38) than any other club is still looking for a new hierarchy or a different one Identity.
At best, the Austrians should take advantage of this phase of finding the Austrians on Thursday evening and create a good starting position for the difficult second leg in the coming week.
Because the team of former Salzburg player Adi Hütter made a much more stable and agile impression than before the winter break, despite the clap in Dortmund (0: 4), the bet on home win is obvious between Frankfurt and Red Bull Salzburg. For additional tip ideas, we recommend browsing our guide “Bet on football correctly”.
Frankfurt:
So far, the start of the new 2020 calendar year has been almost optimal for Frankfurt Eintracht. After ten points from the first four Bundesliga games after the winter break and the surprising progress in the DFB Cup against RB Leipzig, there was the first damper last Friday.
In Dortmund’s Signal Iduna Park, the eagle carriers got under the wheels with 0: 4 and could not even confirm the strong performances of the past weeks. In the end, there was a deserved defeat that stopped the pursuit of the Europa League semi-finalists last year.
Since the SBU was tied eight points behind the European Cup places after 22 games, it should be difficult to qualify for another year in international business through the Bundesliga.
Accordingly, coach Adi Hütter’s protégés will do everything possible to get as far as possible, especially in the Europa League and the DFB Cup.
The fact that the red-black-whites were even allowed to hibernate on the European stage is thanks to FC Arsenal, who played 2-2 on the last day of the group stage in Liège and thus ensured harmony despite the embarrassing 2: 3 The home loss to Vitoria Guimaraes took second place in the final accounts.
Admittedly, the Hessian team from December 2019 can no longer be compared to the team from February 2020. Filip Kostic and his colleagues seem more relaxed, fitter and more motivated, which is why another European fairy tale can definitely not be excluded.
In addition, Eintracht has an excellent home record on an international level. In the Europa League, the Bundesliga club celebrated 13 wins in 18 games (three draws, two losses). There were both bankruptcies in the current season (Arsenal, Vitoria). In the knockout phase of this competition, the kickers from the main metropolis are still undefeated (two wins, three draws).
The loss of the blocked defense chief Martin Hinteregger, who is only allowed to play against his former club next week, is of course particularly serious. While Russ, Fernandes and Torro are still missing injuries, there are even smaller question marks behind Gacinovic and Dost’s appearances that had to be shorter in training recently.
Red Bull Salzburg:
Before the winter break, many clubs usually aim to keep all top performers in the upcoming transfer window. In the case of Red Bull Salzburg, which has established itself as a training association over the past few years, this was virtually impossible.
With Takumi Minamino (Liverpool) and Erling Braut Haaland (Dortmund), the perhaps two most important players left the team and left a big gap that needs to be closed first. According to the first findings, this process is still ongoing.
The “Red Bulls” lost the first Bundesliga game after the winter break 2: 3 at home to Linz ASK, giving up the top three games before the end of the regular season. Across the year, the Wals-Siezenheim team has been without a win for the fourth time in the past five games, which is highly unusual for the national industry leader.
The legitimate question marks hidden behind the current form and performance are certainly one of the reasons why the odds between Frankfurt and Red Bull Salzburg unexpectedly turn out clearly in favor of the home side. After all, the team of coach Jesse Marsch fueled a lot of experience at the highest European level in autumn.
In the UEFA Champions League, the incumbent national champions scored a solid seven points in a group with defending champions Liverpool, Naples and Genk. However, it was not enough to make it to the round of 16, despite the fact that the “can club” not only annoyed the Klopp eleven twice, but was even on the verge of losing a point.
Because the CL comeback finally jumped out of third place after 25 years of abstinence, the red and whites relegated to the Europa League, where they can now participate for the ninth time (record!). In the round of the last 32, the “Red Bulls” are fighting for the seventh time for the seventh time. In three of the six cases so far, this has been achieved.
