Frankfurt vs. Barcelona Picks, Parlay
Leg 1: Barcelona To Win (-600)
Leg 2: Lamine Yamal To Score (-138)
Leg 3: Both teams to score – Yes (-134)
Barcelona won its last home game in this competition 6-1, and its immense attacking output should serve it well against a Frankfurt side that has struggled to keep things tight at the back this season.
Frankfurt has already conceded 14 goals in the league phase; only Ajax has a worse defensive record, which doesn’t bode well as they gear up to face this menacing Barcelona forward.
A fearsome attack versus a struggling defence, coupled with the fact that Barcelona has the backing of the home crowd, means Hansi Flick’s team is the one to back on the 1x2 market.
Yamal scored one goal and assisted another in Barcelona’s last Champions League home game, a 6-1 triumph over Olympiacos.
Last season, Yamal was hugely effective in this competition, scoring five goals and assisting three.
Both teams have been involved in high-scoring games. Barcelona’s European games average 4.4, while Eintracht’s average 4.2 goals per game.
Barcelona and Frankfurt prioritize offense over defense. Barcelona has conceded in all five of their European matches, with the ‘Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 Goals' bet successful in four out of five games. Similarly, this bet has been successful in three of Frankfurt's matches.
According to BETSiE, our in-house model, we can expect a goal-fest, with 4.04 goals. Frankfurt’s 0.91 raises doubts, but Barcelona’s 2.00 average of 2.00 goals conceded per match in Europe makes this a value bet.

Frankfurt vs. Barcelona Betting Analysis
With only seven points and positioned 18th in the rankings, Barcelona must secure a win at Camp Nou to maintain hope of qualifying among the top eight in the Champions League.
The Blaugrana have conceded six goals in their last two matches against Club Brugge and Chelsea, and their position in the table reflects their expected points.
Their upcoming fixtures against Slavia Praha and Copenhagen are less challenging, but even three consecutive wins totaling 16 points might not be sufficient for last year's semi-finalists to avoid the play-offs.
On a positive note, Barcelona has won its last six home games, scoring 21 goals, averaging 3.5 per match. Defensive issues persist, with the team having kept a clean sheet in only one of their last eight home matches.
With Barcelona set to dictate the pace of the game, Frankfurt’s best chances will come on the counter. However, Dino Toppmöller’s team has had just five shots in the Champions League, resulting in just one goal from counterattacking situations thus far.
