• Fixture: Barcelona vs Eintracht Frankfurt
• Date: Tuesday, 09 December 2025
• Kick-off: 20:00 GMT
• Venue: Camp Nou

Barcelona's recent form suggests a team capable of high-scoring victories but also vulnerable to losses, as seen in their 0-3 defeat to Chelsea. With key players like Lewandowski and Yamal in the lineup, they have the firepower to challenge Eintracht Frankfurt's defence. However, their inconsistent results could lead to a closely contested match, with Barcelona's attacking prowess just edging them ahead.

Eintracht Frankfurt, on the other hand, have struggled recently, with heavy losses to Atalanta and Liverpool. Their defence has been porous, conceding multiple goals in several matches. Despite this, their win against Galatasaray shows they can be dangerous on their day, but their overall form suggests they might struggle to contain Barcelona's attack.

Barcelona's recent form has been a mix of highs and lows. They secured convincing wins against Olympiakos and Newcastle, showcasing their attacking strength with scores of 6-1 and 2-1, respectively. However, losses to Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, coupled with a draw against Club Brugge, indicate a lack of consistency that could affect their confidence going into this match.

Recent UEFA Champions League Results:

• Loss: 0-3 vs Chelsea (A)

• Draw: 3-3 vs Club Brugge KV (A)

• Win: 6-1 vs Olympiakos Piraeus (H)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Paris Saint-Germain (H)

• Win: 2-1 vs Newcastle (A)

Eintracht Frankfurt's form has been predominantly negative, with three losses in their last five games. Their heavy defeats to Atalanta and Liverpool, both by 0-3 and 1-5 margins, highlight a defence that has struggled significantly. The lone 5-1 win against Galatasaray offers some hope, but their overall performance suggests a team low on momentum and likely to face challenges against a strong Barcelona side.

Recent UEFA Champions League Results:

• Loss: 0-3 vs Atalanta (H)

• Draw: 0-0 vs Napoli (A)

• Loss: 1-5 vs Liverpool (H)

• Loss: 1-5 vs Atletico Madrid (A)

• Win: 5-1 vs Galatasaray (H)

The head-to-head record between Barcelona and Eintracht Frankfurt shows a competitive edge for Frankfurt, with a 3-2 victory in their last encounter on 14 April 2022. The previous match ended in a 1-1 draw, indicating that these two teams have closely fought games. This history suggests that Eintracht Frankfurt can pose a significant challenge to Barcelona, despite their current form.

• Predicted lineup: J. Garcia (GK), Kounde (DF), Cubarsí (DF), Martín (DF), Balde (DF), E. Garcia (MF), Pedri (MF), Yamal (MF), Torres (MF), Raphinha (MF), Lewandowski (AT)

Barcelona's predicted 4-2-3-1 formation will likely see Garcia and Pedri anchoring the midfield, providing stability and allowing Yamal, Raphinha, and Torres to push forward and support Lewandowski. This setup should enable Barcelona to control the midfield and exploit Eintracht Frankfurt's defensive vulnerabilities with quick, incisive attacks.

• Predicted lineup: Zetterer (GK), Kristensen (DF), Theate (DF), Koch (DF), Brown (DF), Chaïbi (MF), Skhiri (MF), Doan (MF), Götze (MF), Bahoya (MF), Knauff (AT)

Eintracht Frankfurt's expected 4-2-3-1 formation will rely on Koch and Theate to form a solid defensive line, while Kristensen and Brown provide width and support at full-back. With Skhiri and Chaibi in midfield, they will aim to disrupt Barcelona's rhythm and launch quick counter-attacks through Gotze and Knauff.

• Lewandowski vs Theate: Lewandowski's experience and know-how will test Theate's defensive abilities.

• Garcia vs. Chaibi: Garcia's midfield control will be crucial against Chaibi's creative influence.

• Yamal (Barcelona): Yamal's flair and ability to unlock defences make him a pivotal player for Barcelona.

• Shkiri (Eintracht Frankfurt): Shkiri's ability to disrupt play and distribute the ball will be vital to Frankfurt's chances of picking up a result.

Barcelona vs Eintracht Frankfurt at 20:00 GMT on Tuesday, 09 December 2025, will be broadcast live for viewers in the UK on TNT Sports 4.
