Eintracht Frankfurt vs Marseille Prediction: Expect a Draw?

Eintracht beat Marseille away in the first leg. Will the German team be able to repeat their success at home?

Eintracht Frankfurt

The team made a strong run and won three consecutive Bundesliga and German Cup games ahead of the match against Marseille. First, Eintracht thrashed Bayer 5:1 at home. Then, in the cup game against the relegation team, Stuttgarter Kickers 2:0. After that, they beat Borussia M 3:1 on home soil. A great run of form.

In the Champions League, the team from Frankfurt is doing a little worse. After four rounds, they have only four points and last place in the group. The meeting in the fifth round is crucial for Eintracht - they will lose their chances of qualifying from the group in case of failure.

Marseille

The team lost their opening two UEFA Champions League group stage matches to Tottenham and Eintracht, but they rectified the situation in round three or four. Marseille beat Sporting Portugal 4:1 at home and 2:0 away twice. If they win in Frankfurt, Marseille will almost guarantee a playoff place.

Last weekend, Marseille played their second successive league game in France. The Provençal side could not overcome a 0:1 defeat at home to Lens. After 12 rounds, Marseille is in fifth place in Ligue 1, 9 points behind the top spot.

Expert Betting Tips

Eintracht is in good form and has won three games in a row. And even before that, the Frankfurt side had been convincing in most meetings, for example, not allowing themselves to lose to Tottenham (0:0). Marseille is likely to have problems in Germany because the Provençal side has slowed down a little of late. Eintracht mightn't win, but the team can expect at least one point here. Expect a hard-fought, inconclusive encounter, and a draw.
