This hardly seems an ideal scenario for Eintracht Frankfurt, on the big bird to Azerbaijan just a few days after dismissing manager Dino Toppmöller, who committed the atrocity of drawing 3-3 vs. Werder Bremen which prompted his sack after Friday's match. For the time being, under-21 coach Dennis Schmitt and under-19 coach Alexander Meier will be in interim charge until a new coach is named, perhaps as early as the weekend. For what it's worth, Qarabag is still in with a shout at qualifying for the KO phase, three points up on SGE into Wednesday, and earning results vs. the likes of Benfica (a Qarabag win) and Chelsea (a draw) in this competition among its seven points...three more than SGE.

A trip to Azerbaijan for a match just a few days after dismissing your coach hardly seems an ideal situation for Eintracht Frankfurt, which left on the plane for Baku without manager Dino Toppmöller, sacked after Friday's 3-3 draw vs. Werder Bremen. For the time being, under-21 coach Dennis Schmitt and under-19 coach Alexander Meier will be in interim charge until a new coach is named, perhaps as early as the weekend. On just 4 points thru six Champs League matchdays, SGE has been betrayed by its defense much as throughout the season in the Bundesliga; with 77 combined goals in 18 matches, plus 24 more in six UCL fixtures, SGE scorelines have been the highest in Europe save for Bayern Munich. Play Qarabag-SGE Over
Qarabag have 23 total goals so far in their six UCL matches. They've scored 10 while conceding a whopping 13. Almost four goals per matches in their games so far. Meanwhile, Frankfurt, somehow have more as their defense has conceded an unimaginable 16 goals over their six. We have two extremely poor defenses clashing, with two solid offensive outfits. Frankfurt have to win this game to keep their UCL dreams alive, while Qarabag need points to do the same. Add BTTS to this to get the juice down or take over 3.5 goals as well!
Qarabag have been to many, a bit of a shock club in Champions League this season. They beat Benfica 3-2 on the road. They beat Copenhagen 2-0 at home. They draw Chelsea 2-2 at home. Three very impressive results, and a trend of being pretty dang tough to beat at home (unless you're Ajax for some reason). Combining Qarabag's fantastic home form with Frankfurt's abysmal defense and difficulties on travels, I expect Qarabag to once again, find points as the underdog.
