Ajax vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Devesh Jaganath in Europa League Predictions
Ajax will be hoping to make the most of their home advantage when they take on Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League round of 16 clash on Thursday. The winner of this tie between de Godenzonen and Die Adler will move on to face either AZ Alkmaar or Tottenham Hotspur in the quarter-final. Check out our match prediction below!
This match marks the first-ever meeting between these sides, though Ajax have lost only one of their last 21 matches against German opposition (W17 D3), a 4-1 loss to Dortmund back in 2012-13. Frankfurt, meanwhile, have progressed in their last two European knockout matches against Dutch opponents, but those games were way back in 1979-80 and 1980-81 against Feyenoord and Utrecht.
Bookmakers have installed Ajax as the favourites in this match, but by the slenderest of margins, suggesting a close encounter is to be expected. Let’s dive into the key stats.

Ajax - Eintracht Frankfurt: Form Analysis
Ajax came through the League Phase of this competition in 12th place with 13 points (W4 D1 L3), but they had a nervy end to the campaign, having lost three of their final four games.
It was a similar situation in the playoffs, where they squandered a two-goal lead against Union Saint-Gilloise in the second leg but managed to pull through with a crucial goal in extra time.
However, de Godenzonen will be confident in their chances in this match given their solid home form of late, as they have won seven of their last eight matches at this venue across all competitions.
Ajax have scored two or more goals in 15 of their last 20 home games this season!
Meanwhile, despite losing two of their last three games, Eintracht Frankfurt secured direct qualification to the round of 16 by finishing fifth in the League Phase with 16 points in eight matches.
However, Die Adler enter this match off the back of a couple of heavy defeats in the Bundesliga, losing 4-0 to Bayern Munich and 4-1 to Bayer Leverkusen in the last two weeks.
Notably, both defeats that the visitors suffered in this competition came in away games, while they also failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their four Europa League matches on the road.

Ajax & Eintracht Frankfurt Squad Analysis
Ajax will have to make do without Davy Klaasen this week after he was sent off against USG in the last round, which could force them into recalling Jordan Henderson to the starting lineup as a result.
Kenneth Taylor scored the crucial goal in the last round - his fifth of the competition (including qualifiers) - while he has also notched up two assists and will be a key attacking threat down the left flank.
Who will step up for Frankfurt in Omar Marmoush’s absence?
The Egyptian international was the team’s top scorer in this competition before departing for Man City, and Die Adler looked almost toothless in attack without him in their defeat to Roma at the end of January.
Thus, the team will likely look to Hugo Ekitike to make the inroads in this one, with the Frenchman having already scored 13 goals and three assists in 23 league games this season.
