Eintracht Frankfurt - Salzburg Prediction, Picks and Tips
On Thursday, starting at 19:55, the match Frankfurt - Salzburg, within the 16th Europa League, the first round, 2019/2020 edition will be played. Frankfurt won the only straight duel, 4-1 in a friendly scheduled in 2019. The Germans are the semifinalists of the last edition of the Europa League, and the Austrians were eliminated in the finals in the same season. After a modest journey in both the Europa League and the Bundesliga, Frankfurt started up again in 2020 with highly appreciated developments. The "vultures" won 3 of the 5 internal stages and obtained an important qualification in the quarters of the German Cup. The Germans have to respect an important blazon, being one step away from playing the final of the last edition, after a defeat at the offside blows with Chelsea, the future winner. Frankfurt coach Adi Hutter sat on the Salzburg bench in the 2014-2015 season, winning the "event" alongside the Austrians.
Salzburg was split this winter by Erling Braut Haaland and Takumi Minamino, the most important players in the attack. However, the Austrian champion remains a team with experience in European Cups and a lot of high quality young players. The semifinalist of the 2017/2018 season was eliminated in 2019 by Napoli, in the eighth, and now comes from the Champions League, where he was part of a group with Liverpool, Naples and Genk. Salzburg started their return from Austria Bundesliga with a defeat, score 2-3 with LASK, the winners moving to the first position in the standings, following this result.
The students of Jesse Marsch, who was second in Leipzig last season, show the defensive vulnerabilities that Frankfurt will try to exploit. Although it is a qualifying duel in the double sleeve, we expect goals, possibly from both sides, but the hosts remain the favorites of the double.
