Eintracht Frankfurt vs Napol predictions and betting tips on February 21, 2023



On February 21, Deutsche Bank Park (Frankfurt am Main) will host the 1/8 final match of the Champions League, in which Eintracht (Frankfurt) will compete with Napoli. The battle will start at 21:00 CET.
Eintracht Frankfurt
The team is definitely not among the regular participants of the Champions League. The invitation of Oliver Glasner helped to get a unique experience of performance there. Being under his rule, however, there were extremely modest results at the inner arena in the previous season, especially in comparison to 2020/2021, when the team lost the 4th place only at the very finish of the tournament. Nevertheless, everything was more than covered by the victory in the Europa League! It was the higher mentioned result, which sent the German club to the main continental tournament. It didn't have the best start there – there was a victory in France against Marseille, but, at the same time, it was defeated, conceding 3 goals in each match, not only by Tottenham, but also by Sporting. The draw with the British opponent and, that is more important, a shocking finish with a couple of victories, allowed to break through to the play-offs. A strong-willed 2-1 success in a life-or-death struggle with “the Lions” in Lisbon became the key one!
Napoli
The club has become the main discovery of the season. Having lost half a dozen long-term leaders led by Insigne, it achieved the result, which has not been possible with them – unconditional leadership in the Serie A. In fact, few people have doubts that the Scudetto will go to the south of the peninsular, and this is for the first time since 1990. Nowadays, more attention to the Champions League may be paid. In the autumn, Khvicha (what a level is demonstrated by the Georgian player at San Paolo!) and the company did very well in the European tournament. Despite the fact that the Calcio was stamped with victories, “the Parthenopeans” won successively the battles against Liverpool and twice against Ajax and Rangers, and only in the very last round they allowed Klopp’s wards to beat them at Anfield.
The statistics of head-to-head matches
The only time, when the clubs played head-to-head matches, was in 1994, in the UEFA Cup. Then, the German representative was stronger in both battles, winning with the 1-0 score.
Predictions
Bookmakers are waiting for a bright confrontation with the guests’ advantage. Let’s agree with the first idea – we bet on “total: over 2.5” (odd: 1.75).
