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). |
