Eintracht Frankfurt will take on Sporting in the round 1 match at the UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will take place at Deutsche Bank Park (Frankfurt) on Wednesday, September 7.
Frankfurt was able to get into the Champions League via the “backdoor”. Instead of making the expected progress in the Bundesliga draw, the Eagles finished outside the top 10 of 2021/2022’s final league table. Oliver Glasner and his team had a serious excuse. They focused all their efforts and attention on the European Cup. It was a good decision. After beating the Rangers in their final, the Germans won a Europa League and a ticket to the main tournament on the continent. Eintracht still shows statistics at an average level on domestic arena. They lost to Real Madrid 0-2 in the UEFA Super Cup.
Sportsing Lisbon was unable to maintain its position as the leader in Portugal. In 2021, the Lions won their first gold medal since 2002. Ruben Amorim’s excellent work was rewarded with this great result. It was impossible to maintain the 1st position: Porto won the League Cup in Primeira in 2021/2022. It was able to escape the Champions League group, but the Portuguese were already in Manchester City in the 1/8 finals. The draw was not the most pleasant. The “dragons” were defeated on the road and lost 0-3. However, there were also other points lost which did not bode well for the coaches and players. It is even more important to show their worth in the Champions League. Fortunately, it is possible to not complain about all of the losses. Yes, Tottenham is the clear favorite but Eintracht and Marseille are both viable candidates.
Eintracht Berlin are not regulars at European competitions and they don’t know much about the Champions League. He will be playing Sporting Lisbon on Wednesday, for the first time ever in his history. Although Eintracht is not a giant, Sporting and Sporting both know how important it is to be in the Champions League with such a strong quartet. We recommend betting on a spectacular “total of 2.5 goals”
prediction for the match: More than 2.5 goals.
