Barcelona vs. Eintracht Frankfurt at the Camp Nou promises to be a tight affair, and the atmosphere at the Camp Nou will certainly play a huge role in spurring on Barcelona’s players. Frankfurt have an unbeaten record in the EL, while Barcelona are on a 15-match unbeaten run. Here are our tips for this fixture:

Tip: Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.52

Barcelona have been in great goalscoring form in recent weeks, notching 3 goals in their last match against Levante. The first leg in Frankfurt ended in a multi-goal result, and although Frankfurt have won 11 out of their last 15 wins in all competitions with a one-goal margin, we expect at least two goals in regular time during this game. Over 2.5 goals is available on the Sportsbet.io sportsbook at 1.52 odds.

Tip: Barcelona to Win Either Half @ 1.21

Xavi’s men are one of Europe’s best sides, and hold strong to the tiki-taka football style that made Barcelona famous in the 21st century. Dominating games is hardly a problem for this team in excellent form, so we expect them to have the upper hand in at least one half. Barcelona to win either half is available on the Paripesa sportsbook at 1.21 odds.

Conclusion

Barcelona are gunning for their first EL trophy, while Frankfurt fans are dreaming of a repeat of their 1979/1980 UEFA Cup winning campaign. We expect both teams to go all out for the win as the tie is perfectly balanced at 1-1. A great night of football awaits.
