Prediction: 2-2
Frankfurt
All eyes will be on Stade de la Meinau when Strasbourg and Eintracht Frankfurt face each other in the Europa League play-offs, first leg. Sad but true, one of the two teams will not compete in the Europa League group stages, but, one thing is for sure, we will see a very entertaining double-header.
Strasbourg have turned their Stade de la Meinau into a real fortress and seeing that Eintracht Frankfurt chiefs were force to sell several first-team regulars in the summer transfer window, we believe that the Ligue 1 side will grab something from the match. Die Adler should be happy with the share of spoils as well, therefore, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Given the attacking potential of the two teams, there is every chance we will see a high-scoring affair on Thursday evening.
