Our prediction for this Europa League match:
Real Betis and Eintracht Frankfurt square off against each other at Estadio Benito Villamarin in a highly-anticipated Europa League game. Los Beticos proved their worth in the double-header with Zenit, and the bookies see them as favourites to win the upcoming two-legged tie as well. Sergio Canales is back from a domestic ban, while Andres Guardado is unlikely to feature in the first leg after limping off with injury in a 4-1 loss to Atletico Madrid at the weekend.
Die Adler, on the other hand, aim to build on a 4-1 win over Hertha Berlin. The Bundesliga side look sharp in front of goal in their last league match, and given Real Betis’ attacking potential, over 2.5 goals betting option should be considered. Defender Christopher Lenz is back to the starting XI after serving his one-game ban at the weekend.
