Inter face a tough difficult test to their Europa League credentials when they travel to the Commerzbank Arena to take on Eintracht Frankfurt in Thursday’s last 16 clash.
The Nerazzurri are among the favourites to go all the way after dropping out of the Champions League, with only Sevilla having enjoyed more success in the history of this competition.
Latest odds
However, a run of just four wins in 13 away matches sees them travel to Germany as 21/10 (3.10) outsiders with SportPesa to pull off an away first-leg victory.
Meanwhile, Adi Hutter’s men have only lost one of their last 13 fixtures in all competitions, and are 27/20 (2.35) favourites to come out on top here.
GettyJust one of the hosts’ eight matches in this season’s competition has resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 47/20 (3.35) on this one finishing up all square.
Team news
Ante Rebic has joined Lucas Torro on the sidelines after twisting his knee against Hoffenheim at the weekend, although Gelson Fernandes is back in contention following injury.
Keita Balde Diao and Sime Vrsaljko are both ruled out through injury, while Mauro Icardi is still absent from training due to a reported sore knee.
Underrated Frankfurt
It feels like the guests’ price to come out on top in this game is down more to their illustrious name than recent form.
Indeed, Luciano Spalletti’s men hardly inspire much confidence given their poor record on the road, as well as the cloud hanging over the club due to the Icardi controversy.
In contrast, Die Adler have exceeded expectations by winning seven and losing none of their Europa League games this season, with their solitary draw coming in a tricky away trip to Shakhtar Donetsk.
Predictions
Having scored 14 goals and conceded just three in impressive home wins against Lazio, Apollon, Marseille and Shakhtar so far, those 27/20 (2.35) odds seem generous on Frankfurt upsetting Inter with another victory in front of their own fans.
