TEAMS PREVIEW

Eintracht Frankfurt Preview

This match could be a great start to another strong tournament for Frankfurt, as their hopes of making noise early are quite high. The team is led up front by Jonathan Burkardt, who is slowly healing once again for this tournament after scoring 18 goals for Mainz in last season’s Bundesliga campaign. 

Going into a match where he will be a clinical finisher and use his pace to get near the box, this is someone who has already developed himself as a key tall threat. With Elye Wahi struggling a bit next to him, big bench players like Jean Matteo Bahoya and Can Uzan, with two goals and two assists, have come up big-time. 

In the middle, Fares Chaibi has been a crucial passer, as he’s made 10 progressive passes and remains a consistent aspect in their ability to dribble the ball quite far. 

With a defensive-minded midfielder in Hugo Larsson, who has four interceptions, starting once again, their backline will have a ton of support. Captain Robin Koch, with 18 clearances, has been a key defender and should support Michael Zetterer a lot in net.

Eintracht Frankfurt Probable Starting Lineup - Miachel Zetterer (GK), Robin Koch (D), Arthur Theate (D), Rasmus Kristensen (D), Aurelio Buta (D), Mario Gotze (MD), Hugo Larsson (MD), Fares Chaibi (MD), Oscar Hojlund (MD), Elye Wahi (FW), Jonathan Burkardt (FW)

Galatasaray Preview

On Galatasaray’s side, their unit will be fully loaded and ready to face a big challenge. Led by Victor Osimhen, he’s already found the back of the opposing net twice and continues proving why his striking ability is impossible to stop. 

With him showing great size and strength in any situation, it allows Mauro Icardi, with two goals, to keep playing at a top-notch level as well. With both of them creating pressure, a key player in the middle of the field is Gabriel Sara, as he already has an assist and is one of the most efficient passers in Super Lig play. 

Given that he can also dribble at a very fast pace and has great intellect, so does Mario Lemina, who is among the top in passing and can recover loose balls very well. 

Their defensive-minded piece remains Lucas Torreira, who will be able to run with any attacker down the field and can drop back with the backline. On the defensive line, Wilfried Singo and Davinson Sanchez will try to make Günay Güvenç's life easier. 

Galatasaray Probable Starting Lineup -  Gunay Guvenc(GK), Davinson Sanchez(D), Wilifred Singo(D), Kaan Ayhan(D), Abdulkerim Bardakci(D), Lucas Torreira(MD), Mario Lemina(MD), Gabriel Sara(MD), Victor Oshimen(FW), Mauro Icardi(FW), Leroy Sane(FW)
