FC Barcelona are outright favourites to win the second leg match of their UEFA Europa League 2021-22 encounter against Eintracht Frankfurt.
The Blaugrana have lost just eight matches against German opposition at home, however, they will be wary of the threat Frankfurt carry. The German side, who have lost only two of their 11 matches against Spanish teams in all competitions, will hope to replicate their performance from the first leg when they visit Camp Nou on Friday.
