Eintracht Frankfurt head coach Armin Veh has insisted that his side do stand a chance against Porto in the last 32 of the Europa League, ahead of the first leg on Thursday night.

Veh said that Porto would be challenging for the Bundesliga title if they were to play in the German league, but that his side have a strong belief in themselves.

"We are playing against a team that would compete very strongly in the Bundesliga," he told the club's official website.

"That's why we most certainly do not go into the game as favourites. However, we still believe in our chances."

The second leg in Germany takes place next week.
