Eintracht Frankfurt have endured a difficult stretch, struggling defensively against top opposition. Despite their attacking spirit, the German side have conceded heavily in recent matches. Dino Toppmöller’s squad will depend on Omar Marmoush and Ansgar Knauff to provide attacking spark, while defensive organization will be key to containing Liverpool’s relentless press.

- Liverpool 1–2 Manchester United
- Chelsea 2–1 Liverpool
- Galatasaray 1–0 Liverpool
- Liverpool 2–1 Crystal Palace
Liverpool have hit a rough patch by their standards, losing three of their last four matches in all competitions. Jürgen Klopp’s side remain dangerous, though, with Mohamed Salah and Darwin Núñez still creating chances at a high rate. However, inconsistency in finishing and lapses in concentration at the back have cost them crucial points recently.
Tactical Analysis
Frankfurt are likely to sit deep and rely on quick transitions, trying to exploit Liverpool’s high line with direct counterattacks. Liverpool, meanwhile, will dominate possession and press aggressively to force turnovers in advanced areas. Expect Trent Alexander-Arnold to play a key role in build-up, while Alexis Mac Allister’s control in midfield could dictate the tempo.
Key battle: Marmoush vs. Van Dijk — Frankfurt’s pacey forward against Liverpool’s commanding captain will shape much of the game’s flow.
Prediction
Liverpool’s experience and quality in Europe give them the edge, but Frankfurt’s attacking unpredictability at home could make this closer than expected. Expect goals at both ends in a tense matchup under the Frankfurt rain.
Prediction: Eintracht Frankfurt 2–2 Liverpool
