Match Background
After suffering four fixtures back-to-back, the Reds are not exactly entering uncharted waters. But, the previous occasion the team suffered five defeats on the bounce was back in 1953, under manager Don Welsh. This campaign resulted in relegation from the top flight.
Currently, nobody's seriously suggesting that the team are going down this season. But Arne Slot is keen to avoid repeating that bit of history. The team must get their domestic and Champions League campaigns back on track as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this season's tournament both ended 5-1—a victory at home over their opponents and an away defeat at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the team Eintracht were beaten by, and been defeated by the team Eintracht beat. Therefore, predicting this match proves especially difficult.
The exciting fun begins at 8pm UK time. It's on!
