Match Prediction- Sevilla vs West Ham United Betting Tips and Match Prediction
That result has seen the Eagles extend their unbeaten run in this season’s competition to seven games and they are also unbeaten in their last seven encounters against Spanish opposition, last tasting defeat against Deportivo La Coruna in the last 16 of the 1993-94 UEFA Cup. After four defeats in five matches, Eintracht Frankfurt have since turned their fortunes around with three successive victories in all competitions, including last week’s first-leg victory over Real Betis in Spain.
Although Frankfurt are in the process of resurrecting their Bundesliga form – currently sitting seven points behind the European positions – Glasner’s men will now turn their focus to Thursday’s second leg, as they bid to reach the quarter-finals for the first time since 2018-19 when they went on to progress to the last four. The Germans have advanced from each of their last nine knockout ties in European competition when winning the first leg, so they will be confident of securing at least a draw on home soil in midweek.

They must first turn their attention to the second leg of their last-16 tie with Frankfurt, as they bid to progress to the quarter-finals of any major European competition for the first time since 1997-98, when they reached the last eight of the Cup Winners’ Cup. Real Betis’ defeat to Frankfurt last week extended their winless run in all competitions to five matches, but a slender success in La Liga against Bilbao on Sunday saw them return to winning ways.
Betis travel to the Waldstadion having already tasted defeat in Germany this season, with a 4-0 group-stage loss against Bayer Leverkusen in October their heaviest defeat in any competition so far this season. Los Verdiblancos will need to claim their first victory against German opposition since 1995-96, and win by two or more goals, if they are to keep their hopes of Europa League glory alive in midweek.

A closely-fought contest between two evenly-matched sides is set to be played out in Germany, though Frankfurt has the upper hand with both experiences at this stage of the knockout rounds and a one-goal aggregate lead. Los Verdiblancos’ recent poor form has been because of injuries to several first-team regulars, some of whom are still not match-fit. Die Adler is not expected to win in Germany, which would see them crash out of the competition.
While this last-16 tie could go the distance, we feel that the hosts will edge past their Spanish counterparts and win by the same scoreline as in the first leg. The hosts have made it three wins in a row across all competitions and will be keen to extend their winning streak. Betis, meanwhile, secured their first win in six games on Sunday.
Frankfurt 2-1 Real Betis, as predicted by us.
