🗞️ Team News: Eintracht Frankfurt

Aurèle Amenda (Syndesmosis ligament tear) and Jean-Mattéo Bahoya (Broken nose bone) will not be taking part for Eintracht Frankfurt gaffer Dino Toppmöller.

We think that Eintracht may well line up in a 3-4-1-2 formation this time, utilising Kevin Trapp, Nnamdi Collins, Robin Koch, Arthur Theate, Rasmus Kristensen, Nathaniel Brown, Tuta, Hugo Larsson, Mario Goetze, Omar Marmoush and Hugo Ekitike.

🗞️ Team News: Freiburg

Freiburg manager Julian Schuster has to currently contend with reduced team options. Philipp Lienhart (infection), Daniel-Kofi Kyereh (Knee surgery) and Bruno Ogbus (Achilles tendon rupture) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

It’s our belief that Freiburg appear most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system, starting Noah Atubolu, Lukas Kuebler, Matthias Ginter, Max Rosenfelder, Christian Guenter, Maximilian Eggestein, Patrick Osterhage, Ritsu Doan, Merlin Roehl, Vincenzo Grifo and Lucas Hoeler.
