On Thursday, starting at 20:00, the Frankfurt-Chelsea game will be played in the Europa League semifinals, the first game, the 2018-2019 edition.
The two bands have not met in European competitions so far.
Frankfurt was impressed this season, but he got tickets for the Europa League squad, with some luck, in front of Benfica Lisboa. “Vultures” lost only 2 matches out of the 20th of 2019, but the two defeats came in the last 5 games played. The team trained by Adi Hutter lost a single duel in the last 16 of the Europa League, finishing the quarterfinals with Benfica Lisboa.
Chelsea has a clear goal: the Champions League. Although they are on the 4th place in the Premier League at this time, the Blue Stars will aim to win the Europa League. Maurizio Sarri’s formation has won the last 6 matches of this competition, and the strongest opposition received from Slavia Prague. Chelsea remains a very hard-to-beat band, and when she catches a good day, she’s unbeatable.
However, Frankfurt is a very loud “walnut” on the Commerzbank-Arena, and the most likely result is a draw with goals.
Probable teams:
Frankfurt: Trapp – Ndicka, Hinteregger, Hasebe – Costa, Rode, Fernandes, Kostic – Gacinovic – Paciencia, Jovic
Chelsea: Arrizabalaga – Azpilicueta, Christensen, Luiz, Alonso – Kante, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek – Pedro, Giroud, Hazard
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,68
