Ce Francfort – Inter Milan promet du beau spectacle entre deux formations portées vers l'offensif et qui aspirent à aller le plus loin dans la compétition. En pleine forme ces dernières semaines, l'Eintracht accueille l'Inter pour ce premier des deux chocs et compte sur le soutien de son stade pour faire plier le club italien. Avec une défense solide et une attaque qui empile les buts, les Allemands peuvent nourrir des espoirs concrets en vue d'une qualification au tour suivant. Mais les Intéristes ne comptent pas se laisser faire et voudront contracarrer les plans de Francfort. Faisant partie des gros favoris pour le trophée, le club milanais compte bien s'appuyer sur sa solide expérience européenne pour tenter de ramener un résultat avant le retour à San Siro. On mise sur une victoire allemande ou un match nul.
Inter Milan are coming from a shocking loss at the hands of Cagliari in Serie A and having earlier been held to a 3 – 3 draw by Fiorentina, their credentials come to question, not just defensively but also in terms of their confidence. They beat Rapid Vienna 5 – 0 on aggregate in the last round but this German side is going to pose a stiffer challenge, especially considering it is one nine matches without a loss and growing in confidence. Eintracht Frankfurt have lost just two and won 11 of their last 15 home matches and they have an incredible run of eight wins and two draws in their last 10 home matches in the Europa League. They have scored two goals or more in each of the last nine home matches in the competition and facing Inter who have one win in the last eight Europa League away games will inspire confidence in them. In the last six away matches in the Europa League, Inter have managed just one clean sheet and they have conceded two goals or more in five but they have scored in each of the six. The only meeting in history so far, between these two sides came in a friendly match, which Eintracht Frankfurt won 3 – 1.
