On Thursday, starting at 17:55, Eintracht Frankfurt – Sahtior Donetk, from the sixteen European Championships, the second round, the 2018-2019 edition, will be played.
The Mansa Tour ended with a score of 2-2 after the goals scored by Marlos (pen.) And Taison (Sahtior), respectively Hinteregger and Kostic (Frankfurt).
Adi Hutter’s “Pupils” have definitely dominated the Europa League group, achieving a maximum of 6 rounds. Frankfurt is one of the most spectacular bands in the Bundesliga, but also efficient. Luka Jovic and Sebastien Haller scored 33 goals in all competitions. “Vultures” come after four consecutive draws in the domestic championship, the last of them last weekend, score 1-1 in home with Monchengladbach.
Sahtior Donetk leads the championship in Ukraine, although he has only one success in the last 3 rounds. The “miners” gathered 45 points in the standings, 7 over the rival Dinamo Kiev, both of which are already qualified for the title-play. Portuguese player Paulo Fonseca’s team has transferred some young players this winter, but has split from the experienced Ukrainian defender Yaroslav Rakytskyi, bought by Zenit Sankt-Petersburg for 10 million euros.
In the tournament, Sahtior stayed in 10 people since the 11th minute, when Stepanenko was eliminated, for the cumulus of yellow cards. The Germans controlled the game because of this, but the Ukrainians managed to stay in the game, scoring twice. Grace with draws from Ukraine, Frankfurt starts as a favorite to qualify, but the Sahtior did not say the last word.
PREDICTION: Eintracht Frankfurt to win @ 1,95
