Barcelona vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction & Betting Tips (9 December)

Semi-finalist of the last edition of this Champions League, FC Barcelona should be able to go beyond the regular season without too many problems. However, Barça's place among the top 8 is far from guaranteed before these last 3 days since it is only in 18th place in the ranking, 3 lengths behind 8th. The Spaniards have also lost quite a few points along the way. If they had been able to start with a victory at Newcastle 1-2, Hansi Flick's men were beaten at home by PSG 1-2 before winning more difficult than the score would suggest against Olympiakos 6-1. Finally, the Culers were held back by Club Brugge 3-3 then they fell to Chelsea 3-0 on the last day. In La Liga, the Catalans are on course to retain their title of champion of Spain. They will try to take 1st place in the championship from Real Madrid by successively hosting Deportivo Alaves and Atlético Madrid.

Opposite, Eintracht Frankfurt presents itself with only 4 points in its pocket before this 6th day. The Germans started this league phase very strongly by crushing Galatasaray 5-1. But the rest was much less brilliant for the Capricious Diva who suffered 3 losses in 4 matches played against Atlético Madrid 5-1, Liverpool 1-5, Napoli 0-0 and finally against Atalanta Bergamo at the end of November 0-3. With this complicated record, Dino Toppmoller's players are only in 28th place in the ranking and they are 2 units behind the 24th place occupied by Pafos. At the same time, in the Bundesliga, the Eagles are struggling to try to get closer to the top 4. Two important duels await them against Wolfsburg and Leipzig before this trip to Camp Nou. 

Even if it is less crowded than a few weeks ago, the Barcelona infirmary is still rather well stocked. We indeed find the midfielders Gavi and Pedri as well as the German goalkeeper Ter Stegen. Sent off after receiving 2 yellow cards in a few minutes against Chelsea, Uruguayan defender Arauja will be suspended this week. Otherwise, Hansi Flick can still count on his best attackers for this very important match. Consequently, we could find in the starting 11 the Brazilian Raphinha (3 goals in all competitions), the Pole Lewandowski (8 goals in La Liga) and the prodigy Lamine Yamal (2 goals, 2 assists in 4 C1 matches). The formidable Fermin Lopez (7 goals in La Liga, 3 in C1) could also start which could push the Englishman Rashford (4 goals in C1) to the bench.

 Eintracht also deplores some absences at the start of December. If midfielder Höjlund should be back on his feet, the important Swede Larsson and the very good playmaker Uzun (5 goals and 4 assists in the Bundesliga, 1 goal in C1) will still be in the infirmary, who should not be restored for this poster. The Eagles also experienced a real setback on the last day with the injury of their top scorer, center forward Burkardt (8 goals in Bundes, 3 goals and 1 assist in C1) who is not expected to recover from a calf injury. Wingers Knauff (2 goals in Bundes, 1 goal and 1 assist in C1) and Doan (3 goals and 4 assists in Bundes, 1 assist in C1) will therefore have to do their best to make up for this absence. 

• Summary: Barcelona U19 is going head to head with Eintracht Frankfurt U19 starting on 9 Dec 2025 at 15:00 UTC . The match is a part of the UEFA Youth League .
