Latest Ajax vs Frankfurt football match prediction
Ajax finished the group stage in 12th place, just one point behind the top eight teams, after securing four wins, one draw, and three losses in their eight matches.
They had to go through a knockout play-off against Union Saint-Gilloise, where Ajax had a significant advantage after winning 2-0 in Belgium. However, this advantage was quickly erased within the first 30 minutes of the second leg when the Belgian team scored two goals before and after Davy Klaassen was sent off, forcing Ajax to fight hard to take the game into extra time.
Despite being down to 10 men, Ajax found the winning goal in extra time thanks to a courageous penalty kick from Kenneth Taylor, securing their place in the round of 16 against Frankfurt for a quarter-final spot, where they could face either AZ Alkmaar or Tottenham Hotspur.
Coach Francesco Farioli and his players have prepared well for this match, having won against Go Ahead Eagles and Almere City in the Eredivisie, helping them consolidate their position at the top of the table with an eight-point lead.
Ajax have reason to be confident when hosting Frankfurt, as they have lost only one of their last 21 home matches against German teams in European competitions, with a record of 17 wins and 3 draws.
Eintracht Frankfurt aims to replicate their Europa League triumph in the 2021-22 season, a feat they achieved under Oliver Glasner, to secure their second European title in the club's history.
The Bundesliga team can be satisfied with fifth place in the group stage after securing five wins, one draw, and two losses.
However, they entered the round of 16 in worrying form after two heavy defeats in the Bundesliga: a 0-4 loss away to league leaders Bayern Munich, before being thrashed 1-4 at home by Bayer Leverkusen last weekend.
Frankfurt currently sit third in the Bundesliga but have won only one of their last seven matches across all competitions, drawing three and losing three, despite an impressive start to 2025 with four consecutive wins.
Coach Dino Toppmoller has reason to be worried as his team lost both of their last two away matches in the group stage against Lyon and Roma.
Nevertheless, Frankfurt has an impressive record in UEFA competition round of 16, having advanced six of their last seven appearances, including a 3-2 victory after extra time against Real Betis on their way to winning the Europa League in the 2021-22 season.
