Barcelona vs Eintracht: Bet on a solid win for the Catalans

The first leg between the German club and the Catalan club ended in a 1-1 draw at Eintracht Arena a week ago. Although the first leg between our teams was a close encounter, even with a slight advantage for the Germans, the bookmakers believe that the Catalans have a good chance of winning the upcoming game and reaching the semi-finals of the second most important European competition.

A draw in Frankfurt is a great success for Barcelona. Not that the Catalans were poor in Germany, but 1-1 was the maximum the Blaugrana could expect. By the way, Barcelona had won four games in two tournaments before the game against Eintracht. And after the game against the Eagles, they defeated Levante 3-2 away. In Valencia, the Catalans were not at their best, conceding the first goal but winning in the second extra minute, thanks to De Jog’s goal from Alba. However, it is in matches like these against the Frogs that the character of the team is sharpened. There’s also an interesting fact worth highlighting. Barcelona played two home games against Napoli and Galatasaray in the Europa League, and both games ended in draws.

Eintracht have no two squads and this is likely to harm the Eagles’ result in the upcoming game. Rode and Hauge instead of Jakic and Kamada. These were the substitutions by the Eintracht coaching staff in the match against Freiburg. The Eagles wanted very much not to lose on Sunday. They even scored an 86th-minute goal, but the Brazilians celebrated their 2-1 away win. It is now clear that Eintracht have no chance of moving up to fifth place in the Bundesliga. That means a Europa League win is the only chance of making it somewhere higher than the Conference League next season. So the upcoming game against Barcelona can be called crucial for Eintracht. At least at this stage of the season. It is also worth mentioning the fact that Eintracht have excellent away statistics in the Europa League. In the group stage, they beat Antwerp and Olympiacos and drew with Fenerbahce. In the play-offs, a 2-1 win over Betis.

Barcelona have not yet won the Europa League 2021/22 on home soil. It’s about time to start. We liked Eintracht more in the first match, but there is a feeling that the Eagles’ resources are exhausted. The high match density, the lack of two equivalent squads, and the desire of the coaching staff to preserve the chances of a place in the European competitions thanks to the fight with Freiburg. We believe Barcelona will achieve a confident win of two goals or more on Thursday. H1 (-1.5) for 2.03.

Did you know that Barcelona have not conceded in their last four home matches? Barça played once in a 0-0 draw against Galatasaray and won three times, against Athletic, Osasuna, and Sevilla. On the other hand, Eintracht have had some performance problems of late. For example, the Eagles failed to score against Leipzig and Koln in their last four away games. And current Barcelona are hardly weaker than both the Bulls and the Goats. As the second bet for the Europa League quarter final match, we offer a variant of Barcelona’s victory to nil for 2.38.

The third bet is traditionally a bet on the correct score. We expect a smashing and big victory for Barcelona - 3-0 for 9.00.
