Eintracht Frankfurt are not among the leaders after two starting rounds of the Europa League general stage, but they played two remarkable matches, in each of which they scored three goals. Another thing is that it was enough to win only in one case. The German club visited Istanbul in the last round, where they beat Besiktas without any chances, allowing the Turkish team to score a prestigious goal only after a terrible blunder by the goalkeeper. In the opening round, Eintracht defeated Viktoria Plzen 3-1 in the 85th minute, after which they left the pitch early, conceding twice against their Czech rivals. RFS was the triumphant of the last round of the general stage. That's how we can characterise the home draw with Galatasaray, who, compared to the Latvian team, have almost limitless human resources. The first round better characterises the class of the Riga club. In it it lost to FCSB on Romanian soil with the score 1:4. Bookmakers have identified the home team as clear favourites for the upcoming meeting, offering odds of 1.15 on their victory.

Eintracht played two games against the strongest clubs in Germany in October, in addition to the meeting in Istanbul. At the beginning of the month, the Frankfurt team proved its professionalism. The team hosted Bayern, who were determined to beat the nearest pursuer and strengthen their leadership status. However, the Frankfurt club showed a decent level and snatched a 3-3 draw at the expense of a goal on 90+4 minutes. Against Bayer Leverkusen, Eintracht opened the scoring in the 16th minute, but then only the Pharmacists were on the pitch, eventually winning 2-1. Of course, not all of the main players will be available for Eintracht in the match against the Latvian club, but the class of the substitutes may also be enough for a confident victory for the hosts.

RFH has played two national championship matches in the last week. In one it lost to fourth place club Auda, and in the second one it defeated Tukums 2000 4-1. The team is on its way to defence of the championship title, which is hard to compare even with the German Third League in terms of strength. Let's bet on a confident win for Eintracht.
