Eintracht Frankfurt take on the visitors Liverpool in the round 3 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 22nd at
Eintracht Frankfurt are once again trying to find the recipe for both sporting and financial success. The Eagles sold Hugo for a huge fee over the summer — €90 million — and just six months earlier they had sent Marmoush on a similar financial route to England. Despite the departures, they managed to qualify for the Champions League by finishing third in the Bundesliga last season. So far this season they looked promising in the early stages, but in autumn their number of slip-ups has risen. They opened with a convincing 5-1 win over Galatasaray only to be thrashed 5-1 by Atlético Madrid in Madrid afterwards. Their results show they can score, but they also concede too freely and struggle to maintain consistency throughout a full campaign.

Liverpool could have dropped off significantly after Klopp’s departure — but instead they went on to win the Premier League early and convincingly. Following that triumph, Slot brought in a number of new recruits, among them Ekitiké, who proved effective even if the usual leaders like Salah have not shone as consistently. They started the season with gritty wins, often scoring in the late stages, though one Super Cup clash saw Crystal Palace recover from 0-2 to win on penalties. By October however, the team had slipped into a clear crisis marked by a series of defeats, including a loss in Istanbul in the Champions League where they failed to respond to a Galatasaray penalty. Although the club remains one of the elite, their current form raises questions about mentality, depth and adaptability under pressure.
The clubs played each other only about half a century ago, in 1972 in the UEFA Cup. On that occasion, the English side after a 2-0 win at home secured a goalless draw in Germany. Despite Frankfurt’s good intentions and home advantage, the visitors remain clearly the higher-class team. We’re willing to bet that Liverpool will beat the Germans on the road.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win.
