MATCH PREVIEW

The top two sides in the Europa League (EL), Group H come head to head, as Eintracht Frankfurt host Lazio at the Commerzbank-Arena in their first-ever meeting. Both sides won by a 2-1 scoreline in their respective group stage openers, giving this one a huge potential for drama!
Frankfurt boast a mixed record of: W3, D4, L4, against Italian opposition. The last time they played against an Italian side was in 2006/07, which ended in a 2-1 defeat to Palermo, but Frankfurt have not lost at home in Europe since then (W4, D2).
Lazio are enjoying a strong start to their domestic campaign and although they come into this on the back of a chastening 3-1 loss against arch rivals Roma, they remain in good overall form. Each of Lazio’s last three league games have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals in the game.
The visitors have a strong record vs German teams, with a record of: W7, D3, L4. However, only one of those victories came on German soil, in the form of a 2-0 victory against Stuttgart in 2012/13.
Players to watch: World Cup finalist Ante Rebić has scored in each of his last two Frankfurt starts. He also has experience against Italian sides after spells with Fiorentina and Verona.
Ciro Immobile scored four goals across his last four Lazio appearances, including the late winner vs Apollon Limassol on matchday one.
Stat attack: Each of Frankfurt’s last five competitive games have seen both teams score, with four of those also producing over 2.5 goals.
Lazio midfielder Milan Badelj has now received a booking in four consecutive games.
The visitors hold the record for the most draws in the EL, excluding qualifying rounds (18).
