Eintracht Frankfurt will get its Champions League campaign up and running at home to a Galatasaray team with visions of causing a stir in Europe this season. Turkey’s titleholder sits clear at the top of the Super Lig, having demolished its domestic competition so far this term, and hopes to carry that form onto the continent.
The Eagles were undefeated themselves this season until they ran into a Bayer Leverkusen team revitalized by the arrival of new manager Kasper Hjulmand last Friday. And the good times suddenly stopped as Eintracht suffered a 3-1 defeat on the road despite finishing the match with a two-man advantage in Leverkusen.
Thursday’s host is yet to experience victory over the Lions in two meetings to date, having drawn and lost against Galatasaray when they met in the group stage of the 1992/93 UEFA Cup (now the Europa League). But Dino Toppmoller has lifted Eintracht’s expectations after finishing third in the Bundesliga last term, its best league result in more than 30 years.
Former Bayern Munich and Schalke winger Leroy Sane will spot some familiar faces as he returns to Germany in what will be his European debut for Gala. And the same can be said for Eintracht striker Michy Batshuayi after he left Istanbul to join Thursday’s host back in February.
