Eintracht Frankfurt take on the visitors Marseille in the round 5 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 26th at Deutsche Bank Park (Frankfurt).
Eintracht (Frankfurt) had a highly controversial year. The “Eagles” in the season before last, with the outgoing Adi Hutter, was close to 4th place, but disappointingly missed it in the very end. The current coach, Oliver Glasner, was able to get his wards a pass to the Champions League, but in a peculiar way. The team actually failed in the Bundesliga, collapsing to the bottom of the table. But at the same time, they managed to win the Europa League! True, at the new level, the results are modest. The debutant of the Champions League was limited to only the one victory in France. Also they managed to survive at home on 0-0 with Tottenham. But they lost to Sporting 0-3, and in London there was a defeat, albeit a minimal one, 2-3.

Olympique Marseille was able to surprise with Sporting. “Provencal’s” traditionally quite unsuccessful in the Champions League. And little has changed at first now, under Igor Tudor (the Croat came in the summer, to the place of the scandalously dismissed successful mentor, Jorge Sampaoli). First, in the minority, the French lost to Tottenham, conceding at the end twice from Richarlison. Then at home they were unable to answer Lindström's only goal. But then there were two matches against Sporting, and there Olympique was able to surprise all the fans, and just football fans, very pleasantly. First they thrashed the Lions 4-1 at home, although they conceded first there (Kharit, who has a goal and an assist, should be noted). Moreover, in Lisbon, by the 30th minute, the hosts scored twice, and they could not find an answer to such a blow. Thus, everything is again in the hands of Marseille, but they need to win in Germany.
Before the current draw, the parties played in the group stage of the Europa League in 2018. Then Eintracht was also stronger: 2-1 away, 4-0 at home. Eintracht has its own problems, but still they play with Marseille in his native Frankfurt. So let's believe that the Germans will win again, but we will insure ourselves with a handicap "0”.
Prediction for the match: Eintracht Frankfurt to win.
