Germany may not have any representatives left in the Champions League but they have a good chance of winning the Europa League. Eintracht Frankfurt are on a long unbeaten run of 15 games and have won eight of their last nine matches in all competitions. They are fourth in the Bundesliga, so could well end up in the Champions League next season. They won all six of their group matches including two wins over Lazio and have claimed the scalps of Shakhtar Donetsk and Inter Milan in the knock-out stages and have four wins and a draw in their five away games in this season's Europa League.

Benfica are in a battle royale with Porto over the Portuguese Primeira league title. They are currently ahead of their rivals on goal difference and now turn their attention to the Europa League. Their European competition season began in the Champions League but they finished third in their group behind Bayern Munich and Ajax. That saw them moved into the Europa League and they have beaten Galatasaray and Dinamo Zagreb to reach the last eight. They only won one of their three home games in their Champions League group and were held to a goalless draw by Galatasaray in the last 32 of the Europa League. The suggested bet here is a double chance on Frankfurt to win or draw this match.
