Eintracht Frankfurt have been inconsistent this season and are 10th in the Bundesliga with two wins from their first six matches. They had only earned one point from their last four league games before beating Hannover 4-1 at home this past weekend. They showed better form in the Europa League though winning their first game in this group 2-1 at Marseille who reached the Europa League final last season. Frankfurt went behind in the third minute but equalized and then got an 89th minute winner. This is their first European campaign since 2014 and they qualified via a surprise win over Bayern Munich in the German Cup final. Previous campaigns have gone well with one defeat in their last 14 games.

Lazio got off to a good start in this Europa League group beating Apollon Limassol at home 2-1, They have only lost one of their last six games in this competition  though four have been played at home. Their away form is a worry with three defeats in the last four. They come into this game in sixth place in Serie A which is an improvement after losing both their first two league games. They had a tough fixture list though losing at home to Napoli and away at Juventus, the top two teams in the league last season. Lazio improved with a run of four straight wins before losing 3-1 at Roma at the weekend   This should be an exciting tie and the tip is for a home win.
