Atl. Madrid vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction: EUROPE: Champions League – League phase betting tips on match 2025-09-29 19:00.
[p]Eintracht Frankfurt will be looking to build on their 5-1 thrashing of Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) when they travel to Atlético Madrid on matchday two. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Atleti suffered UCL heartbreak earlier this month when conceding in stoppage time to lose 3-2 at Liverpool, but they head into this fixture on a massive high after emphatically beating arch-rivals Real Madrid 5-2 in La Liga on Saturday. That win means that Diego Simeone’s men have now won seven of their last eight games in all competitions at the Metropolitano Stadium (D1), scoring at least three times in six of those victories. They’ve been equally as strong at home in this competition too, winning nine of their last ten such outings.[/p]
[p]Frankfurt were involved in one of the highest-scoring games in Bundesliga history at the weekend, as they incredibly led 6-0 at Borussia Mönchengladbach before defensively imploding to limp home unconvincingly 6-4! The Eagles will have to improve significantly at the back if they are to end a six-match run without a clean sheet in European competitions, but they’ve shown they have the firepower to combat that leaky defence, particularly in the early stages, having scored at least twice before half-time in five of their seven competitive matches this term. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]These two sides last met in their only H2H tie nearly 50 years ago, with Frankfurt coming out on top home and away to progress 3-1 on aggregate in the 1975/76 European Cup Winners’ Cup. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Three of Atlético Madrid’s last four competitive games have witnessed 5+ total goals. [/p]
[p]Seven of Atleti’s eight matches this season have seen both teams score. [/p]
[p]Frankfurt’s last nine games against top-flight opposition have seen both sides find the net. [/p]
[p]Frankfurt’s last nine matches have all featured over 3.5 goals. [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Antoine Griezmann came off the bench to score the fifth against Madrid and has now been on the winning side in 18 of his last 19 goalscoring appearances for Atleti (D1). Frankfurt defender Robin Koch netted a maiden career brace at the weekend and a goal from him is usually a good omen as Frankfurt have won all of his eight scoring appearances for the club. [/p]
