Thursday evening, from 17:55, two of the protagonists of the last season of the UEFA Europa League meet in Germany, in the first stage of the groups in the current edition. Eintracht Frankfurt receives Arsenal’s visit to Commerzbank-Arena, in a match in which we expect many goals.
Without Falatte, Ronnow, Russ and De Guzman, Eintracht meets a team with big defensive problems, at whose gate were shot over 30 sutures in the last championship stage, with Watford! Increasingly challenged in England, the Spanish manager Unai Emery hopes to overcome the absences of Lacazette and Bellerin, and in attack will rely on the creativity of players like Aubameyang or Pepe.
In the final stage of the championship, Arsenal drew Watford (2-2), after equalizing with Tottenham (2-2) and losing to Liverpool (1-3). Thus, the “tuners” have 3 games in a row without victory. Eintracht comes after a disappointing 1-2 at Augsburg, in the championship, a match that followed a series of two impressive successes, it is in the matches with Strasbourg (3-0) and Fortuna Dusseldorf (2-1). It will be the first European match between Eintracht and Arsenal, two very powerful formations on the offensive.
Without defeat at home in the last 15 European Cup matches, Eintracht reached the final last season, but Chelsea has cut the Germans’ path to the trophy. With a reluctant balance in European travel, the Londoners should defend themselves flawlessly to gain victory on Thursday.

Eintracht: Trapp – Abraham, Hasebe, Hinteregger – da Costa, Kohr, Rode, Kostic – Kamada – Dost, Silva
