Eintracht Frankfurt will entertain Ferencvaros at the Waldstadion in the league phase of the UEFA Europa League on Thursday. Frankfurt have won four of their six games thus far and are in sixth place in the standings. The visitors have three wins to their name and are in 16th place, with four fewer points than the hosts.
Die Adler have enjoyed a winning start to 2025, scoring seven goals while keeping two clean sheets in three Bundesliga games. They hosted Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga last week and registered a 2-0 win. Hugo Ekitike scored in the first half and Oscar Højlund added the second goal in stoppage time.
The Greens will play their first competitive game of the year. They were last in action in the Nemzeti Bajnokság against Nyíregyháza Spartacus and registered a 1-0 away win.
Frankfurt suffered their first loss of the Europa League campaign in their previous outing, falling to a 3-2 loss to Lyon. Ferencvarosi suffered a 5-0 away loss to PAOK last time around.
Die Adler have won their three games this year and will look to continue their winning streak here. They have suffered just one loss at home this season, winning nine of their 13 games, and are strong favorites.
Star performer Omar Marmoush is set to join Manchester City and will not be included in the squad for this match. Aurèle Florian Amenda is back in light training but needs a few more weeks before a full comeback. Éric-Junior Dina-Ebimbe sustained an injury in training and will sit this one out. Oscar Højlund and Mahmoud Dahoud have colds and face late fitness tests.
The Greens have won just one of their last four away games, conceding 10 goals while keeping two clean sheets, and will look to improve upon that record. Interestingly, they have won three of their last four games in the Europa League.
Frankfurt have enjoyed a great start to 2025 and, considering their home advantage, we back them to record a comfortable win.
