- Competition: Europa League
- Date: Thursday, 23rd January, 2025
- Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
- Venue: Deutsche Bank Park (Frankfurt)
Eintracht Frankfurt are playing one of the best seasons in the club's history as they are holding 3rd place in the Bundesliga and are only five points away from the top spot. But besides their excellent performance in the domestic league, they are among the best teams in the Europa League. The Eagles are in 5th place with 13 points and are on the path to securing the 1/8 Finals. Currently, the bookies see them as the sixth favorite for the title, offering odds around 17 of them winning the title.
Ferencvaros have been a dominant force in Hungary, winning the last six titles. This season, they are again among the best teams in the league, currently 2nd with 34 points - one point away from the top, but with one game played more. Still, there are some reports that the club's management isn't really thrilled with their performances so far and made some changes during the winter transfer window. Meanwhile, in the EL, Ferencvaros are 16th with nine points from six matches. However, they are just two points away from dropping out of the 1/16 FInals spots, so these last two games are highly important.
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Ferencvaros pick: Eintracht Frankfurt to win
Eintracht Frankfurt are on a great mini-run, winning three games in a row. The last one against Borussia Dortmund (2:0) was particularly great, and we believe they should extend their winning streak. At home, the Eagles were excellent this season, losing just once in 13 matches in all competitions with an almost 70% win rate.
Meanwhile, Ferencvaros struggled away from home in the Europa League, losing two of three games. That one game they won (away from home) was against Dynamo Kiyv, which had to play on a neutral pitch in Hamburg. So, actually, Ferencvaros lost both of their road games in the EL.
We believe that the Eagles are a better team overall, and considering all the above, we expect a comfortable win over Ferencvaros.
Eintracht Frankfurt team news
After a 2:0 win over Borussia Dortmund, coach Dino Toppmoller spoke to the media. He said they deserved a win and produced a very good performance. "The players can rest for a couple of days now, then we take on Ferencváros," the coach noted.
Omar Marmoush missed the previous game against Dortmund because he was in England, and he is expected to join Manchester City if he passes the medical tests.
