Eintracht Frankfurt vs Benfica
Although losing in the first leg then Frankfurt still had hope to get away. By playing at home in this second leg, Frankfurt is sure to be able to step into the semifinals.
Frankfurt coach made a big rotation – big in his last match against Augsburg on the Bundesliga stage last weekend. As a result, Frankfurt suffered a 1-3 defeat and made their position in the top 4 increasingly uncomfortable. However, this was done by Adi Hitter to maintain the stamina of the players who remained fit to lose to host Benfica in the second leg.
Frankfurt does need the best conditions to qualify for the next round. The 2-4 defeat in Portugal then forced Frankfurt to at least win with more than two goals. However, with the creation of 6 goals in the first leg then Frankfurt only needed a 2-0 victory to get rid of the Portuguese representative.
Benfica did the same thing in the Portuguese League last weekend. Performing several rotations, Benfica was still able to win when entertaining Vittoria Setubal with a score of 4-2. This victory managed to make Benfica remain at the top of the Portuguese League standings but with a goal difference advantage over Porto in second place.
For Benfica, a 4-2 victory in the first leg then made them only need a draw or not lose more than 2 goals in Germany later to be able to qualify for the next round. This doesn’t seem to be difficult, Benfica only needs to appear strong in defense and not let Frankfurt score a goal.
