Frankfurt vs Benfica Today’s Betting Tips

Eintracht Frankfurt bring Lisbon a two-goal deficit After a 2-4 first-leg defeat at the Estádio da Luz in front of Benfica.

Adi Hütter’s team was reduced to ten men early in the 20 minutes, expulsion of French N’Dicka who committed foul inside the area under Gedson Fernandes and gave João Félix the chance to put Benfica ahead early, to play against 10, and to score the first of his memorable hat-trick last Thursday.

Already after that game, Frankfurt returned home to receive Augsburg for the German Bundesliga, having been surprised by 1-3 in a game in which it returned to be inferior numerically, a defeat that kept Eintracht in 4th place but was not an honor for the team’s aspirations in the league as Gladbach and Leipzig won.

Benfica will go to Germany with a good advantage and after having managed to repeat the victory and the result in the reception to the victory of Setúbal, last Sunday, in game to count for the championship.

With that triumph, the incarnations returned to ascend to the leadership of the classification, with the same 72 points of the Porto, that already had played and expired the Portimonense.

The first-hand game had, in my opinion, three distinct periods.

A quarter of an hour early dominated by the Germans, who without creating great danger to Odysseas, dominated and almost prevented Benfica from leaving to play from his defensive midfield.

With the approaching moment of the expulsion and the 1-0 penalty, the incarnates were finally able to enter the game and send Eintracht to their half.

In advantage in the marker and in numerical superiority, Benfica allowed Jovic to score after an inattention of Fejsa in the first moment of the construction.

Soon after, João Félix scored a great goal, scored twice and put Benfica to win 2-1 at half-time.

With the start of the second half, a strong entry from the Eagles, who scored two more goals and even wasted the 5-1 with great loss of Haris Seferovic, in a period of the game where Eintracht Frankfurt surprisingly started to risk more and managed to reach 4-2, a result that I consider positive considering what could have happened in Lisbon.

Benfica ended the game to defend the 4-2 and unable to take advantage of the much space granted by the Germans on their backs.

In this second hand, I foresee a game in the sense of what happened in Lisbon in terms of goals.

Both Eintracht Frankfurt and Benfica attack better than they defend, the Germans could have been subject to heavy thrashing in Lisbon but Benfica neither wanted nor was able.

Bruno Lage’s side have been a little bit coy and anxious at some points in their last matches, even in a row of four consecutive goals conceding goals.

Our Betting Tips Frankfurt vs Benfica

I think that Benfica will not go to Germany to defend exclusively the advantage, Eintracht will have to attack and take risks, Rafa can be a great asset to the counterattack of the incarnates (he who, to meet suspension in the match next Monday, should be Lage’s initial bet tomorrow).

Whatever happens first, I do not see any of the teams giving the tie as lost and, with the result of the first hand, I expect a match with several chances of goal for both sides.
