Eintracht Frankfurt faces a cup challenge: BVB comes to the stadium!
A thrilling DFB Cup duel is coming up: Eintracht Frankfurt hosts Borussia Dortmund at Deutsche Bank Park this evening. Kick-off is at 6.30pm and the atmosphere promises to be electric. After the SGE recently won against St. Pauli and kept a clean sheet for the first time in half a year, motivation is high. Coach Dino Toppmöller emphasizes the team's desire to take the next step towards the round of 16. But he knows that it won't be a walk in the park against BVB.
Dortmund, themselves in strong form and only beaten by Bayern, come into the game with fatherly self-confidence. The small ray of hope for Frankfurt is the stabilized defense against St. Pauli, but Dortmund will be of a completely different caliber. Coach Niko Kovač urgently warns his players about Eintracht's strengths, because another cup game could mean a step to new heights. This thought is not unfounded: Eintracht Frankfurt could reach the round of 16 for the fourth time in a row, which would be a first for the team from Mainzer Brücke in the 21st century.
Referee decisions and broadcasts
When it comes to refereeing, Sven Jablonski has the whistle in his hand, while video evidence is only used from the round of 16 onwards. Fans can look forward to a wide live broadcast, both on “Sky” as well as on “ZDF” and on “Eintracht FM”. This means none of the followers are left in the dark.
The personnel situation
However, there is a bit of grief at SGE as Elias Baum and Oscar Højlund are out due to muscle injuries. On the other hand, Dortmund are not complete either: Emre Can is struggling with adductor problems and Julien Duranville has suffered a shoulder injury. Strong players like Nico Schlotterbeck are in the form of their lives and could tip the scales. His physical presence and high passing rate could be decisive.
The possible lineups for the encounter are as follows:
| Eintracht Frankfurt | Borussia Dortmund |
|---|---|
| Zetterer | Kobel |
| Kristensen | Anthony |
| cook | Schlotterbeck |
| theater | Bensebaini |
| Doan | Ryerson |
| Skhiri | Sabitzer |
| Chaibi | Nmecha |
| Brown | Svensson |
| Uzun | Adeyemi |
| Knuff | Brandt |
| Burkardt | Guirassy |
The outcome of this duel is uncertain. Eintracht Frankfurt can look back on a positive record, but has only won 35 of 111 matches against Borussia. The pressure is on the shoulders of both the SGE and those of Dortmund, which recently scored an important win against Cologne. So everything is set for an exciting cup fight this evening.
