The Europa League has reached the last-16 stage and there are some highly intriguing ties taking place this week. Arguably one of the most intriguing ties in the competition is Real Betis facing Eintracht Frankfurt.

The first leg between the two teams takes place on Wednesday night at the Benito Villamarin.

Real Betis have been one of the stories of the season in La Liga. Los Verdiblancos currently sit fifth-place in the Spanish top-flight table.

However, Manuel Pellegrini’s team heads into this clash on the back of a four-game winless run in all competitions.

That winless run started in the second leg of the last-32 of this competition, as Russian outfit Zenit held the Andalusians to a goalless draw in Seville.

The result continued an inconsistent run of form for Betis in the Europa League, as they have now won two, lost two and drawn two of their last six games in the competition. However, Real Betis are four games unbeaten on home soil in the Europa League.

Eintracht Frankfurt have enjoyed a bit of a rollercoaster of a campaign in the German top-flight, with Oliver Glasner’s team currently midtable in the Bundesliga.

The one competition that the Eagles have found a touch of consistency in is the Europa League, as the visitors are unbeaten in their previous six games, recording four wins and two draws.

Frankfurt’s recent games in the Europa League have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four matches in the competition. Both teams have scored in five of the visitor’s last six European games.

Eintracht are also unbeaten in their last three away matches in the Europa League, picking up two draws and a win.

Forebet predicts a close encounter, ending in a low-scoring draw which would leave the tie in the balance for the second leg in Frankfurt.
