Eintracht Frankfurt’s away game at Borussia Mönchengladbach is on Saturday evening. In the traditional duel, the Hessians could start with this starting eleven.
Eintracht Frankfurt is challenged in the top game on Saturday evening (kick-off 6:30 p.m.). After the 5-1 thrashing and the 2-0 cup success at the Stuttgarter Kickers during the week, head coach Oliver Glasner is confident ahead of the away game.
“We travel to Mönchengladbach with a good feeling. The team is in good form,” praised the trainer at the press conference on Friday afternoon. We also have good memories of Borussia Park from the previous season. “If we win again 3-2, we’ll go home happy,” said the Austrian, who released his team on Thursday.
“We are in a phase where less is sometimes more,” said the Eintracht coach. “Physically, the boys are all highly professional, hungry and obsessed with success. It’s important to keep up the greed for victories. Because that’s what counts now!”
With Borussia waiting on Saturday evening a very strong game and attacking team. “Despite the 2-1 defeat in Darmstadt, Gladbach is a team with great playing quality and a lot of power, but also conceded a few goals,” explained the ex-professional. “With Daniel Farke we also have a very good coach.” Glasner expects a “rather open game in Mönchengladbach, in which both teams will play forward”.
Trio around Hasebe is cancelled
Makoto Hasebe (torn knee ligament), Ansgar Knauff (thigh fascial injury) and Aurelio Buta (rehabilitation training after knee injury) are currently on the list of SBU absences. “With Ansgar, I have hope that he will return this year,” said Glasner. “We and he are doing everything to ensure that he returns in the last week of the Bundesliga in November, when we have three Bundesliga games.”
The expected Eintracht line-up against Borussia Mönchengladbach
TW: Kevin Trapp – As usual, the national goalkeeper is between the posts.
IV: Tuta – The Brazilian will be suspended from the upcoming Champions League group game. Substitute Hrvoje Smolcic has already gained match practice in the DFB Cup and will therefore probably not be in the starting XI against Gladbach.
IV: Kristijan Jakic – Jakic is expected in the middle of the back three.
IV: Evan N’Dicka – The central defender was rested in the DFB Cup and will return to the starting XI on Saturday evening.
RM: Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe – In the right midfield, Glasner is likely to muster the newcomer from Paris again.
CM: Daichi Kamada – After his short stint in the cup, the Japanese is expected to be part of the starting XI again. It is conceivable that captain Sebastian Rode will have to make room for Kamada.
ZM: Djibril Sow – “With the exception of Djibril Sow and Jesper Lindstrom, nobody actually plays more than three games in a row,” explained Glasner.
LM: Christopher Lenz – Lenz and Luca Pellegrini are options for the left flank.
OM: Jesper Lindström – In addition to N’Dicka, the Danish international also received a break in the cup.
OM: Mario Götze – The world champion of 2014 should start half-left again. Instead of Götze, however, Kamada could also begin.
MS: Randal Kolo Muani – With his fourth goal of the season, the attacker put Eintracht on the road to victory in Stuttgart.
