- Competition: Europa League, 1/8 Finals, 2nd Leg
- Date: Thursday, 13th March, 2025
- Kickoff: 17:45 UK / 18:45 CET
- Venue: Deutsche Bank Park (Frankfurt)
Following a 2:1 for Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of the Europa League 1/8 Finals, the German team will welcome Ajax at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt for the second leg.
Eintracht Frankfurt have been mostly in the upper half of the Bundesliga table in recent seasons, pretty constantly securing Europe. This season, the Eagles had one of their best stars, as they have been in the top four throughout the season. They are still holding themselves in fourth place, but after losing three Bundesliga games against top teams, it is evident that the Eagles will have a hard time securing the Champions League spot. However, in the EL, the Eagles were really good, easily securing the 1/8 Finals. Now, after a 2:1 in the Netherlands, they are a big favorite to secure the next stage of the competition.
Ajax came to this season after a terrible one by their standards, where they finished 5th! This season, after some ups and downs, the popular Sons of the Gods fount their rhythm in the Eredivisie and won ten in a row. Right now, they are at the top spot with 63 points - eight more than the 2nd-placed PSV. However, in the EL, they are in a tough situation, and the bookies do not give them too much chance to secure the next stage. The odds of them reaching the Quarter-Finals are around 5.5 at the moment.
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Ajax pick: Both teams to score
Eintracht Frankfurt are in bad form, losing three of the last four games. However, they have been fantastic for this type of bet, as both teams scored in three of those four matches. Moreover, we saw both teams scoring in seven out of nine last games - 78%.
Ajax are in good form, with eight wins in the last ten games. They also scored at least one goal in all of those ten matches (once in ET). Ajax also proved they are more than capable of scoring away from home, and we believe they will score at least once.
In the first leg, only a week ago, Eintracht Frankfurt won 2:1. It was a close match where both teams created many goalscoring chances. Considering all the above, we expect another game with both teams scoring.

Ajax team news
Midfielder Jordan Henderson will miss the match due to suspension after receiving a yellow card in the previous game against Eintracht Frankfurt. The 34-year-old Englishman is their key midfielder, and his absence could be a massive factor. Luckily, Davy Klaassen served his one-game suspension in the first leg and should be available.
Owen Wijndal, Wout Weghorst, Youri Regeer, Christian Rasmussen, and Remko Pasveer, who missed the previous game(s), should remain sidelined.
