BT Sport Extra 2, 8pm Thursday

Eintracht Frankfurt have it all to do to make the last four having lost the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final with Benfica 4-2, but the German outfit are a formidable force on home soil and they could stage a remarkable turnaround.

The two away goals they scored in Lisbon could prove crucial for Eintracht, who did well to stay in the tie given they placed over 70 minutes with ten after defender Enda N'Dicka was sent off.

Free-scoring Frankfurt, spearheaded by super Serb Luka Jovic, have put four past Lazio, Marseille and Shakhtar Donetsk in home European encounters this season and they boast the firepower to turn the tie on its head.
