Will Eintracht go ahead in the first leg?

The Eagles are on course for the Champions League. With victory against Juventus, Eintracht Frankfurt’s women have qualified for the play-offs. Entry into the group stage is within reach, and the SGE only need to beat the women of Sparta Prague to do so. According to the best bookmakers, Eintracht is favoured.

For a Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Sparta Prague Women bet on the Hessians, odds of only 1.25 are offered. Our prediction is aimed at this as well.

The Frankfurt women refuelled their self-confidence with a 3:1 win against RB Leipzig last weekend and ended their mini-crisis in the Bundesliga. After the false start – the first two Bundesliga games were lost – the victory against the visitors from Leipzig was a real liberation blow for the SGE.

If the Eagles carry the momentum into the match against Sparta Prague, it is obvious that Eintracht will bag the next clear victory in front of their home crowd. Since March 2023, the Hessians have lost only one of their last 16 competitive matches at home – a good omen for our Frankfurt vs. Sparta Prague women’s prediction?

Eintracht Frankfurt – statistics & current form

Far from wishful thinking – participation in the 2023/24 Champions League is within reach for Eintracht. With the win against Juventus, the Hessians qualified – for the first time ever as “Eintracht Frankfurt” – for the play-offs of the Women’s Champions League. With Sparta Prague, the SGE now also had a feasible opponent in the decisive qualifying round.

The women’s team therefore has realistic hopes of reaching the group stage of the top flight. The result in the first leg against the Czech guests will be decisive. After all, home strength was already a factor in Eintracht’s success last season.

In the last 16 games at home, the SGE has a record of 13-2-1, with the only defeat coming against the Wolves in the Bundesliga. If they can get their 14th win, odds of 1.25 are being paid out on Frankfurt vs. Sparta Prague women’s

Win against RB Leipzig as motivation boost?

Before the match against the Czech guests, Eintracht celebrated a 3:1 victory against RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga. After two defeats in a row to start 2023/24 in the Bundesliga, there was a liberation blow. However, the victory against the Leipzigers was a contested one, with the SGE trailing 0:1 at half-time. It was only after the second half that Frankfurt turned the match around.

Compared to the starting eleven that was recently used in the Bundesliga, no major changes are to be expected for the SGE. It only remains to be seen whether Sarah Doorsoun will be risked in the starting eleven. The international was spared after her recent injury and was only used as a wild card recently.

Frankfurt have never lost a competitive match against a team from the Czech Republic. In two competitive matches against Czech clubs so far, Frankfurt have a record of 1-1-0. It is quite possible that they will improve on that record this time as well.

Predicted line-up of Eintracht Frankfurt:
Johannes – Riesen, Kirchberger, Kleinherne, Wolter – Pawollek, Grawe – Dunst, Freigang, Reuteler – Prasnikar

Sparta Prague – Statistics & current form

Sparta Prague have already qualified in advance for the Play-Offs as runners-up of the Czech 1. league. The match against Eintracht will be the first competitive match on the international stage for the “Spart’anky” this season. In the league, head coach Daniel Kretinsky’s team has already played six match days, with only one defeat for Sparta.

The record champions lost 1-0 to city rivals Slavia Prague in their top-of-the-table clash, which was the only league match in which Sparta failed to score a goal this season. In contrast, 35 goals have already been scored in five of the six league games, including the most recent landslide victory against Viktoria Pilsen, in which the “Spart’anky” scored a total of six times.

How meaningful these statistics are in the Champions League will be shown in the showdown with Frankfurt. Sparta have never won a match against teams from the German Bundesliga. In two encounters, there was one defeat and one draw for the Czech record champions.

Battle with the SGE offence?

If Sparta take the momentum from the league into the international competition, a high-scoring encounter is certainly on the cards. The last time Sparta were in the Champions League, they finished 2-6 on aggregate against AS Roma in the deciding qualifying round, and bets on over 2.5 goals paid off in both the first and second legs.

Tereza Kozarova is the top scorer for the “Spart’anky” with her 13 goals this season. In the current league competition, Kozarova even leads the goal scorer list of the 1st division. Last season as a striker for Slavia Prague, the 31-year-old is causing a sensation this season as a player for Sparta. Against the SGE, Kozarova is in a way the secret weapon of the Eastern Europeans.

Predicted line-up of Sparta Prague:
Krzyaniak – Dlaskova, Kotrcova, Dedinova, Pochmanova – Truxova – Chang, Johnson, Sonntagova, Subrtova – Kozarova
