The Eintracht Frankfurt starts the season with a promising start, standing just behind Bayern Munich in the standings. The team has historically performed well at the beginning of the season, notably in 2012, where it remained unbeaten until the fourth game. However, the story is less favorable against Bayer Leverkusen, who won the last five direct confrontations. This year, Leverkusen is reinforced by a new coach, Kasper Hjulmaand, and the arrival of new players, despite the departure of some key elements. The Eintracht coach, Dino Topmöller, recognizes the exceptional quality of the opponent and the importance of preparation, while maintaining a tactical approach similar to that of previous seasons.

The match against Leverkusen, scheduled for Friday 12 September at 8:30 pm, is particularly expected. Both teams have an impressive record in the Bundesliga, with a record of 80 duels without any draw. The Eintracht can count on an almost complete staff, with the return of important players like Ellyes Skhiri and Jonathan Burkardt, and the availability of Nené Brown. Coach Topmöller confirmed that the starting composition would be similar to the win against Hoffenheim, with Burkardt returning to the team. The goal remains to counter Leverkusen’s offensive power, notably that of Patrick Schick, while exploiting the forces of the Eintracht, such as defensive strength and the ability to score goals.

The likely composition of the Eintracht Frankfurt for the match is as follows: Santos – Kristensen, Koch, Theathe, Brown – Larsson, Chaibi – Doan, Uzun, Bahoya – Burkardt. The bench includes players like Flekken (TW), Tapsoba, Badé, Quansah, Grimaldo, Andrich, Palacios, Vazquez, Tella, Tillman, Schick, and others. The Eintracht will face absences such as Jessic Ngarankam and Mario Götze, but the arrival of new players such as Kaua Santos and Michael Zetterer’s availability offer interesting options for the coach. The match promises to be a major challenge for the Eintracht, but with careful preparation and talented staff, the team is determined to achieve a positive result against a formidable opponent.
