Barcelona vs Eintracht Frankfurt Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Barcelona:
Ter Stegen; Araujo, Lenglet, Garcia, Alba; Pedri, Busquets, F. De Jong; Dembele, Aubameyang, Torres

Eintracht Frankfurt:
Trapp; Hasebe, Hinteregger, Ndicka; Knauff, Rode, Jakic, Kostic; Lindstrom, Kamada; Borre

Barcelona welcome Eintracht Frankfurt to Camp Nou in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final. The first match took place seven days ago and finished with an 1:1, so both teams are looking for the chance to meet either West Ham or Lyon in the semi-finals. Ansgar Knauff gave the hosts an advantage with a superb long-distance strike early in the second half. However, Barcelona managed to equalize after Torres combined brilliantly with Frenkie de Jong and then found the back of the net with a low drive. Frankfurt had defender Tuta sent off late on, but the Catalans failed to score.

This is a turbulent season for Barcelona. They played poor in the first part and suffered elimination from the Champions League. But everything started to improve since Xavi replaced Koeman. The Blaugrana are main favorites for the trophy in Europa League. So far they have eliminated the Italian side Napoli with a 5:2 aggregate victory and the Turkish outfit Galatasaray with 2:1. Barca are also good in domestic Primera Division where they beat Real Madrid, Sevilla and Levante in the last three rounds. Xavi's men are big favorites here, though the coach has some injury worries ahead of the match. Key defender Gerard Pique missed out the first match due to an adductor injury and he is rated as doubtful. Sergi Roberto and Samuel Umtiti are also injured, while Dani Alves is ineligible to play in Europe League. This match comes too soon for Ansu Fati, but Memphis Depay will be assessed before the match.

Eintracht Frankfurt failed to secure advantage on the first match, though they should not be underestimated. So far the Germans have eliminated La Liga outfit Betis. Frankfurt won 2:1 in Sevilla, but then lost 1:0 in Frankfurt. The match was decided in extra time when Eintracht found the back of the net thanks to the opponent's players - goalkeeper Rui Silva and midfielder Guido Rodriguez were not coordinated and that resulted with an own goal that sent Frankfurt through. Since then Oliver Glasner's side have played a match in domestic Bundesliga and lost to Freiburg. The players confidence is not very high, while coach Glasner will be missing some players. Defender Tuta was sent off for two bookable offences in the first leg, while midfielder Sow is rated as doubtful after was taken off with a knee ligament strain. Christopher Lenz and Diant Ramaj are also injured.

Barcelona vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction:

There is a problem about Eintracht Frankfurt - they failed to score a goal on two of their five matches across all competitions. On the remaining three games, they scored just three goals. So, they haven't score many goals in the last period. On contrary, Barcelona have netted 15 goals on the last six matches. The home advantage should not be underestimated. I expect Barcelona to win the match. Since the odss for straight victory are low, I will suggest a handicap win.

Europa legue predictions​

Barcelona - Eintracht Francfort Barcelona to win​

It is clear that Barcelona have been in a renaissance of sorts for the past few months. After being quickly knocked out of the Champions League in the group stage and leaving a mountain of a gap between themselves and the leaders in the league, the Culers have bounced back on the European and domestic stage. In La Liga, the Catalans have repositioned themselves in 2nd place in the league, 12 points behind Real Madrid and with a game in hand. Barça are simply the favourites to win the competition, given their track record and recent results in recent weeks.
Frankfurt showed a very nice face in the first leg by completely upsetting this Barcelona team and even leading the score. Unfortunately for them, and as it has often been the case this season at home, the Germans were unable to get a positive result. This was confirmed on Sunday with a 2-1 league defeat at home to Freiburg.
Barça have won 12 of their last 15 games in all competitions, drawing three.
Frankfurt are on a five-game winless streak, including last weekend's loss to Freiburg.
The absence or not of Pique will undoubtedly be important, Barcelona suffered defensively without him in the league against Levante.
The presence or not of Djibril Sow is also a priori a rather important parameter for this match as he shines in the German midfield.
Our free prediction for Barcelona Eintracht Frankfurt is a win for Barcelona


Glascow Rangers - Braga Rangers win
After a balanced match, Rangers finally lost in Braga last week (1-0). They showed a real lack of efficiency, with no shots on target. Giovanni Van Bronckhorst's men finished 2nd in their C3 group. They then pulled off a surprise win over Borussia Dortmund (6-4 on aggregate) before beating Red Star Belgrade in the last eight (4-2 on aggregate). On the domestic scene, the Glasgow-based team is currently second in the standings and will start the group in the first half of the table, which determines the future champion. After falling at home to Celtic (1-2), Morelos' team-mates won easily at St Mirren last weekend (0-4).
Supported by their fans, Braga managed to take a slight option on qualification by winning the first leg by the smallest of margins (1-0). In order to reach this level of the competition, Carlos Carvalhal's men first of all took the 2nd place in group F of this Europa League.
The Rangers have qualified for the final stages of their league but are behind leaders Celtic.
Braga are already almost certain to finish in 4th place in Liga Nos, synonymous with participation in the next Europa League.
Rangers are still without their main attacking asset, Morelos.

Our free prediction for Rangers Braga is victory for Rangers.
