Eintracht Frankfurt vs Real Betis Recent Form
Real Betis ended their winless run that spanned five games this weekend. They got all three points in their latest La Liga clash as they won at home versus Athletic Bilbao. Borja Iglesias scored the only goal of the match in the 20th minute of the match to earn Betis a much-needed win.
Real Betis dropped to the fifth spot of the La Liga, but are still one of the surprise teams of the season.
Including the win against Betis a week ago, Eintracht Frankfurt is on a three-game winning run. Last week, they won at home by 2:1 against Bochum.

However, the matchup was turned on its head when Masovic scored an own goal, which gave room to Daichi Kamada to get the win for Frankfurt.
Eintracht Frankfurt currently occupies the ninth spot of the German Bundesliga, only a point less than Union Berlin.
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Real Betis Recent Matchups
Their first and so far their only encounter was just a week ago in Seville. Arguably, Los Verdiblancos were considered as favourites entering the first leg. But everything changed after Filip Kostic scored the opener in the 14th minute of the game. Nabil Fekir got the equaliser for Betis. But Kamada bagged the win for Eintracht only two minutes later.

Betis was unbeaten when it came to playing against German clubs, at least until a week ago. Their record stands at three wins, two draws, and now a single defeat.
