"Securing a famous bronze medal finish among Germany's elite last season, Dino Toppmoller's camp have secured back-to-back Bundesliga victories for the first time since the end of August. Last seen over the weekend marking their return from November's international break with an action-packed 4-3 victory away at Koln, Frankfurt could be smelling the chance to get their European charge back on track."
"Only making a late cameo appearance off the bench against Koln on Saturday, former Leeds defender Rasmus Kristensen could be handed a full recall here. Bagging a Bundesliga brace over the weekend and also registering three goals in his first four Champions League appearances, Germany international Jonathan Burkardt will spearhead Frankfurt's charge. Making his move from Rennes a permanent one over the summer, Arthur Theate will partner Robin Koch at the heart of Toppmoller's defence."
Eintracht Frankfurt will host Atalanta at Deutsche Bank Park aiming for a second Champions League victory. The Eagles have shown recent improvement, securing back-to-back Bundesliga wins for the first time since August and winning 4-3 at Koln after the international break. Frankfurt opened their Champions League campaign with a 5-1 win over Galatasaray. Hugo Larsson and Oscar Hojlund remain sidelined with thigh injuries, while Rasmus Kristensen could return from a late cameo. Jonathan Burkardt has three Champions League goals and scored a weekend brace, with Arthur Theate set to partner Robin Koch. Raffaele Palladino arrived in Bergamo earlier this month and faces a major job at Atalanta.
