A win over Watford on Sunday confirmed Chelsea's place in the Champions League next season. They might even finish third and go straight into the group stages so not a bad weekend for them. More good news could be on the way if they can make it into the Europa League final. They drew the first-leg of this semi-final 1-1 in Frankfurt coming from behind to not just get a draw but what could be a vital away goal. Chelsea go into this home second-leg undefeated in their last five games, though three have been drawn. Home form is strong in the Europa League this season with six wins out of six and at least three goals scored in each of the last five. This is their toughest task of their campaign though but they look up to it.

Eintracht Frankfurt are fourth in the Bundesliga and that's the final qualifying position for the Champions League. They are only ahead of Bayer Leverkusen on goal difference with two games to play and lost to their rivals 6-1 on Sunday. With their final game being at leaders Bayern Munich who may yet need points from that game to clinch the title, Frankfurt might just need to win the Europa League to qualify for Europe's top club competition. They have gone four league and cup games without a win and have just one win in their last three away games in this competition. Their last three away matches in all competitions has seen them concede 11 goals and the tip here is for a home win.
