UEFA Women’s Europa Cup qualifier, Hafnarfjarðar host Eintracht Frankfurt | OneFootball

Eintracht Frankfurt visit Hafnarfjarðar in Iceland on Wednesday for the UEFA Women’s Europa Cup second qualifying first leg, seeking to extend their league momentum. According to BuLi News, Niko Arnautis’ side make the trip after a strong domestic run.

Frankfurt have strung together three Frauen-Bundesliga wins since their Champions League qualifying heartbreak against PSG.

Unlike last season’s heavy defeat by Real Madrid, they pushed the latest qualifiers to extra-time. Reduced to 10 players, they conceded four goals in 30 minutes and dropped into the Europa Cup.

Last term, Frankfurt reached the Europa Cup semi-finals before elimination by eventual winners BK Häcken. They have scored seven goals in their last two matches, against Hoffenheim and newcomers Mainz.

Hafnarfjarðar advanced to the second round with a 2-1 aggregate victory over Apollon Ladies of Cyprus. They finished second in the Besta deild kvenna, 10 years on from promotion.

Predicted Hafnarfjarðar: Guðmundsdóttir, Björnsdóttir, Smith, Sandoval, Linnet, Helgadóttir, Haraldsdóttir, Hauksdóttir (c), Snorradóttir, Magnúsdóttir, Errington. Predicted Frankfurt: Altenburg, Lührßen, Østenstad, Doorsoun, Wolter, Açıkgöz, Ivelj, Freigang (c), Memeti, Tolhoek, Blomqvist.
