STOCCARDA – EINTRACHT FRANKFURT | Saturday 3:30pm
On the one hand there is a team, the hosts, who last week stopped Bayern Munich on the road and found the equaliser beyond the 90th minute thanks to a penalty kick. On the other hand, there is a team that this week scored its first Champions League victory, on the field of Marseille, a full 63 years after the last time. In short, Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt are two teams that are currently in good shape and do not want to stop, especially in this round before the national team break. Being able to close this first step of the season with a positive result would allow the coaches to work with a fair degree of serenity during the next two weeks.
Certainly, looking at the classification, Matarazzo’s line-up, which has yet to win a match but has managed five draws, could do with more points. Slightly quieter is the situation of Glasner’s men, who are on eight points but are still not doing so well in the league. Well, the feeling is that a draw could come out of this challenge.
The Prediction
Yes, no doubt a nice X sign could come out at the end of the match. With both teams scoring, of course – this seems to be a pretty safe thing to do – they would move up in the standings. Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt could also come together in this way.
