Barcelona vs Eintracht Frankfurt | Champions League Preview & Betting Tips | 9 Dec 2025

Barcelona are dominating domestically but need a strong result in Europe to boost their knockout hopes, while Frankfurt are struggling for consistency and desperately need points to stay in contention. The first European night at the revamped Spotify Camp Nou will be electric, with a packed house and plenty of noise from the travelling Frankfurt fans.

Barcelona stick to their possession-heavy 4-3-3, building patiently and pressing high. Frankfurt go with a 3-4-2-1, looking to stay compact and hit on the break – a classic clash of styles.

Barcelona dominate the ball at 67% possession, racking up nearly 20 shots a game with high pass accuracy at 89%. Frankfurt sit deeper at 55% possession, creating decent chances but vulnerable defensively with higher xGA.

Barcelona over the last ten: seven wins, three losses – 26 scored, 18 conceded, one clean sheet. Scoring freely but leaking goals, especially in Europe.

Frankfurt: four wins, three draws, three losses – 19 scored, 20 conceded, two clean sheets. Inconsistent, with heavy defeats lately.

Barcelona at home: strong, averaging high scores and tough to beat at Camp Nou.

Frankfurt away: mixed, picking up wins but prone to heavy losses on the road.

Barcelona generate far superior chances while restricting opponents – Frankfurt create less and concede more quality.

These two have only met twice before, in the 2021/22 Europa League quarter-finals: a 1-1 draw in Frankfurt followed by Frankfurt’s famous 3-2 win at Camp Nou.

Barcelona’s attacking quality and home advantage should overpower Frankfurt’s shaky defence. Expect goals, with the hosts coming out on top.
