Eintracht Frankfurt v Benfica Team News

It should be noted that Felix stole the show with hattrick goals and an assist, while Jovic had to settle for a goal. The winners were the hosts with a 4-2 scoreline. But the German side takes solace from their two away goals.

They’re down by two goals, but after they managed to score twice and create 1.68 expected goals away from home without the full compliment of players, Die Adler will fancy themselves to turn the tie around.

Frankfurt will have to put in the performance of a lifetime to progress to the next round. Their hopes will be buoyed by the fact that they need just a 2-0 win to qualify, thanks to their away goals.
