Eintracht Frankfurt have struggled to replicate last season’s third-place Bundesliga finish, sitting seventh with 10 points from seven games. Dino Toppmoller’s side have shipped 18 goals in their last five outings and conceded at least twice in six of their past seven matches. While they remain dangerous in attack — scoring 12 goals in their previous five games — defensive lapses have cost them dearly. The Eagles are winless in three, losing twice, and risk a third straight home defeat after conceding seven goals in their last two at Deutsche Bank Park.
Liverpool, meanwhile, arrive in Germany following a 2-1 loss to Manchester United, continuing an inconsistent start under Arne Slot. Defensive frailties have been a major issue, with the Reds conceding 16 goals in 11 matches — more than in their first 22 games last season. Full-backs Milos Kerkez and Conor Bradley have been repeatedly exposed, while attacking output has also dipped, with just three goals scored across a four-match losing run. Slot’s side cannot afford a fifth straight defeat, though they boast a positive history against Frankfurt, having beaten them 2-0 at Anfield and drawn 0-0 away in the 1972-73 UEFA Cup.
