"Eintracht return to the Champions League for just the second time in their history, their only previous appearance coming in 2022/23, when they reached the last 16 before being knocked out by Napoli. Since then, they have been regulars in continental competition, lifting the Europa League in 2022 and establishing themselves as a consistent Bundesliga force. Last term, the Eagles produced a strong campaign under Dino Toppmoller, finishing third in the German top flight to qualify automatically for the league phase."
"Their form at Deutsche Bank Park was crucial, with only champions Leverkusen picking up more points on home soil. However, their European ambitions ended early with a Europa Conference League last-16 defeat to Fiorentina, highlighting their tendency to fall short against continental heavyweights. Now led by a rejuvenated squad blending Bundesliga experience with fresh faces, Frankfurt have started the new domestic season solidly, and their fans will relish another chance to test themselves against one of Europe's most decorated clubs."

Strong home performances at Deutsche Bank Park were decisive, with only champions Leverkusen earning more home points. Frankfurt exited the Europa Conference League last-16 to Fiorentina, exposing limits against top continental opponents. Galatasaray won the Turkish Super Lig with a single defeat. Omar Marmoush and Mario Gotze are set to lead the attack while Kevin Trapp is absent with a shoulder problem.
