Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Eintracht Frankfurt and Galatasaray square off against each other at Deutsche Bank Park in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Thursday’s program. Die Adler have turned their stadium into a real fortress, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for Dino Topmoller’s troops. Rasmus Kristensen has joined Mario Gotze in the recovery room, with fellow defender Nathaniel Brown likely to step up.
The Turkish champions, on the other hand, made a perfect start to the new domestic campaign, with the team keeping their 100% record intact thanks to a 2-0 win at Eyupspor. Eintracht Frankfurt, though, are a real force to be reckoned with at home and we predict that the visitors will return to Istanbul empty-handed. A man to watch in the away team will be Victor Osimhen, who has overcome his ankle injury. There are no selection worries in the visiting side.
