Benfica vs Eintracht Frankfurt
Benfica vs Eintracht Frankfurt will face each other in the quarter-finals of the Europa League 2018/2019 season. Benfica will first act as the host. Benfica made it to this round thanks to getting rid of Dinamo Zagreb in the previous round 3-1 on aggregate. In the first leg, Benfica lost with a thin score 0-1 at Zagreb headquarters. However, in the second leg Benfica were able to win 3-0 in extra time through goals from Jonas, Francisco Ferreira and Alejandro Grimaldo Garcia. Benfica just won 4-1 when they visited Feirense last weekend through Pizzi, Andre Almeida and Haris Seferovic (2). With that victory it was the 4th victory in their last 6 matches in all competitions and in the same period Benfica suffered only 1 defeat.
Meanwhile, Frankfurt managed to advance to this round thanks to getting rid of Inter Milan in the previous round with a 1-0 aggregate goal. In the first leg, Frankfurt were only able to play a goalless draw at their own headquarters. However, in the second leg Frankfurt managed to win 1-0 at Inter through Luka Jovic’s goal. Frankfurt itself is in a very good performance. Including the victory over Inter at the San Siro then means Frankfurt have won their last 5 matches in all competitions. Benfica has also not been touched by the defeat throughout 2019. This record will clearly be a good capital for Frankfurt when trying out the strength of Benfica in this first leg.
