Real Madrid vs Eintracht Frankfurt Preview

Wednesday, August 10th, 20:00 (UK)

European royalty, Real Madrid, lines up against Eintracht Frankfurt – a replay of the ten-goal 1960 European Cup final thriller at Hampden Park. Some say it was the best European Cup final ever, others veer towards the miracle in Istanbul. Either way, if we’re treated to anything like the 1960 showing, we’re in for a treat.

If the two teams on offer aren’t enough for you to tune in and take note of proceedings, maybe the inclusion of football’s newest technology will. Interestingly, Semi-Automated Offside Technology (SAOT) will feature in European club competitions for the first time at the UEFA Super Cup.

Away from the dreaded VAR chat that’ll likely follow you around the office all season, the match-up is undoubtedly intriguing. Given the gulf in quality between either competition, you may think that the Champions League side usually runs riot. Not quite. The Champions League winners have won 26 of the 46 instalments of the Super Cup – not as one-sided as it should be. But, football rarely is.

Real Madrid’s 2021/22 dominance is as imposing as it gets, easing towards Champions League glory and La Liga delights. However, it was rarely plain sailing in European competition, and that’s what makes Carlo Ancelotti’s squad so formidable. Manchester City restricted Real Madrid to zero shots in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final last season. At the Bernabeu, one steeped in European glory and dramatic events to last a lifetime, Real Madrid then scored from three of their five shots to book a spot in the final.

It’s no surprise that such occasions continue to rear their head. All of Karim Benzema, Isco, Luka Modrić, Gareth Bale, Marcelo, and Dani Carvajal claimed their fifth Champions League final success in Paris. That kind of pedigree in one squad will organically encourage the finest moments in the most challenging of circumstances. Unfortunately for Jurgen Klopp’s men, Liverpool figured out as much to their detriment.

Nonetheless, there should be no risk of casting a shadow over Eintracht Frankfurt’s heroic efforts. Real Madrid remains a dominant force in Europe, but Frankfurt’s spoils should be put on a similar pedestal. Led by the kind of support in the concourses that turned the Camp Nou into what looked like a home match on German soil, it was a European campaign for the ages as the team’s Bundesliga form saw them slump to 11th.

Rafael Santos Borre’s 69th-minute strike cancelled out Joe Aribo’s finish just twelve minutes earlier, leaving the travelling Rangers supporters heartbroken and fearing the worst. Subsequently, Aaron Ramsey’s penalty miss would prove fatal later that evening, with both Rangers and Frankfurt level at the end of 120 minutes.

Real Madrid vs Eintracht Frankfurt Bet Builder

The Bundesliga is a week ahead of La Liga in terms of the league’s respective curtain-raisers. Luckily for us, it provides a chance to look at Frankfurt’s opener and see if there are any nuggets of insight to harness and take into Wednesday night’s match. Unluckily for Frankfurt, it was the worst possible start, with Bayern Munich chosen as the side in the red corner.

There wasn’t much sparring, in truth, as Bayern raced to a 0-5 lead before half-time had come to a close. The match ended 1-6. Frankfurt left bloodied, although the two yearly Bayern Munich fixtures won’t define their season in the Bundesliga. It was a horror show, and there wasn’t much to suggest Real Madrid won’t have a field day.

It’s a tough gig putting together a bet builder without knowing how either side will approach it or without much recent form to go off. Yet, I’ve fashioned a 4.00 punt that shouldn’t be far away. With the Bayern result etched firmly into my mind, starting with Real Madrid/Real Madrid – Half time/Full time is first on the agenda.

Next, Real Madrid to muscle in on the scoresheet twice in the 90-minutes seems like the next wise step into rounding off the bet builder. Last but not least, over 24.5 shots in the match finishes off the three-pronged selection.

On their way to the Europa League final after progressing from Group D, Frankfurt recorded 15, 14, 16, 15, 8, 13, and 17 (vs Rangers), suggesting they should chip in with more than their fair share here. Furthermore, like Bayern at the weekend (23 attempts), Real Madrid should have enough in their arsenal to make up their side of the bargain.

  • Real Madrid Over 1 Goal
  • Over 24.5 Match Shots
