Betting tips for Eintracht Frankfurt VS Shakhtar Donetsk 21.02.2019
Frankfurt and Shakhtar Donetsk come face-to-face this Thursday at the Commerzbank Arena, a challenge for the second leg of the sixteenth round of the Europa League. Frankfurt got a positive result in the first leg, and it gets here well positioned on the undercard, but far from having the qualification assured. On the other side comes a Shakhtar Donetsk who has a more complicated task, did not take advantage of the home factor and now needs to be able to turn the tie outside their domains, in a stronghold that is always difficult.
Frankfurt come here after a perfect campaign in the group stage where they have won all 6 Group H games, qualifying as group leader ahead of Lazio, Apollon Limassol and Marseille. The Eagles won the Europa League once in their history in 1979/80 and have not been able to fight for the title in the last two decades and have not been able to go beyond this tie since 1994/95. However, the team arrives here in front of the tie after having obtained a tie with two balls in the first hand, and plays with less pressure than opponent, who needs to run after the injury.
The Eagles have not lost any of their last 6 successive games, but have drawn in the last 5, drawing on Werder Bremen (2-2) at home to Borussia Dortmund (1-1) at Leipzig (0-0) and Shakhtar Donetsk (2-2), and finally at Borussia M'Gladbach (1-1). Frankfurt have won all three UEFA Champions League group stage home games with 10 goals scored and only 1 conceded. Lucas Torró, injured, is confirmed low, doubting David Abraham, Almamy Touré and Chandler. Frankfurt plays with less pressure than their opponents and needs to take advantage of it.
Shakhtar Donetsk will arrive here after failing to reach third place in Group F, behind Manchester City and Lyon, and ahead of Hoffenheim, thus moving to the Europa League. The Ukrainian team won the event for the only time in their history in 2008/09, and from there the further they managed to reach was the semi-finals of 2015/16. The team finished the year 2018 without losing any of the last 6 consecutive games, with the last of them having been a draw at the Lyon reception (1-1) on 12 December, and since then only played another official meeting, having this been at the reception to this Frankfurt (2-2).
Stepanenko and Krivtsov are out, both punished. The Ukrainians have won only 1 of their 3 UEFA Champions League group stage matches, with results like a draw against Lyon (2-2), a defeat against Manchester City (6-0) and a draw victory against Hoffenheim (2-3). The team failed to take advantage of the home factor, and now they need to run after the injury, although the tie is far from closed.
