Eintracht Frankfurt: Adapting to New Challenges

Eintracht Frankfurt, under Dino Toppmoller, will look to build on a successful 2023-24 season that saw them finish 6th and secure a Europa League spot. The departure of key defender Willian Pacho to PSG for €40 million leaves a significant gap, and Toppmoller will need to adjust his defense accordingly.

Team Highlights:

· Key Departure: Willian Pacho’s transfer to PSG requires tactical adjustments in defense.

· Predicted Line-Up:

o Formation: 4-2-3-1

o Starting XI: Trapp; Dina Ebembe, Tuta, Koch, Nkounkou; Skhiri, Larsson; Marmoush, Gotze, Chaibi; Ekitike

Tactical Breakdown

Borussia Dortmund: Expect an explosive start from Dortmund, driven by Sahin’s aggressive attacking strategy. With a potent forward line featuring Malen and Adeyemi, Dortmund will look to dominate possession and exploit any weaknesses in Frankfurt’s defense.

Eintracht Frankfurt: Frankfurt will rely on quick counter-attacks and creative playmaking, with Mario Gotze likely to be a central figure. Their ability to adapt defensively and capitalize on Dortmund’s defensive lapses will be crucial.
