Arsenal vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction from 22Bet: Champions League Match on 28.11.2019

Arsenal host Eintracht Frankfurt at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday, with head coach Unai Emery under immense pressure following a recent run of poor results. The new and best betting site with the highest odds in Nigeria 22Bet offers their look at what might be the result of the game.

Arsenal won the reverse fixture in Frankfurt 3-0, but have been very poor since and have taken just three points from their past five Premier League matches.

Frankfurt also have hit top form this year and currently sit 10th in the Bundesliga and are third in Group F, level on points with Standard Liege in second.

A defeat here would put them up against it in terms of qualification for the knockout round, while Arsenal know a draw here guarantees their progression to the next round.

Team news

Arsenal have doubts over the fitness of Bukayo Saka, Rob Holding and Sead Kolasinac with all three players currently being assessed by staff on a daily basis.

Dani Cebollas is a slightly more long-term worry after the midfielder picked up a hamstring injury in the last round against Vitoria, which should keep him out until late December.

Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp will miss this game and is unlikely to return until January 2020 after he dislocated his shoulder in September.

Frederik Rannow is also suffering from illness and is in a race to be fit for the trip to London.

Prediction

Arsenal have been in very poor form in recent weeks and produced two very unconvincing Europa League performance in their recent matches against Vitoria.

Frankfurt’s form has been similarly patchy and they lost 2-1 away at Standard Liege in their most recent Europa League outing.

However, Frankfurt did beat Bayern Munich 5-1 to end Nico Kovac’s career as Bayern manager and they will have the opportunity to do that again with Emery hanging by a thread at Arsenal.

Overall, expect a dull 0-0 draw, with neither side able to produce a winning touch. Take heed of this prediction by using 22Bet’s sports betting bonus of 50,000 NGN today!

“Nigeria will go to World Cup”

Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has vowed to guide Nigeria to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, urging his players to adopt a warrior-like mentality as they prepare for a tense playoff run.

The Franco-Malian tactician made the bold declaration whilst speaking to Nigerian legend Segun Odegbami on 90 Minutes with Mathematical on Eagle7FM on Saturday, expressing gratitude to fans for their support.

“Thanks to the fans. Thanks to Nigeria. I am so happy that I have brought back the smiles on their faces,” Chelle said.

“We beat Benin because the fans pushed the players. I ask them this: They have to do this (for the playoffs)… I plan to do my best for Nigeria, and Inshallah, we will go to the FIFA World Cup.”

Chelle, who took charge of a struggling Nigerian side in January, has transformed the team’s fortunes after inheriting a squad on the brink of disaster. Nigeria were winless in their first four qualifiers, with three draws and one defeat threatening to derail another World Cup dream.

Under his leadership, the Super Eagles rallied to win four and draw two of their last six games, collecting 14 points from a possible 18. The highlight came earlier this month in Uyo, where Nigeria swept past Benin Republic 4-0 in a statement victory that reignited national belief.

However, the revival was not enough to seal automatic qualification. Nigeria finished among the four best runners-up in Africa and must now navigate a continental playoff in November for a spot in next March’s intercontinental tie.

The first challenge is a one-legged showdown with Gabon, with Cameroon or DR Congo potentially waiting beyond.

Chelle’s message to his players was uncompromising, saying, “Qualifying for the FIFA World Cup is not a war, but it is like a war… My players need to have a warrior state of mind… They have to be like sharks.”
