Frankfurt preview: Only lost one of their six EL games
Eintracht Frankfurt suffered a disappointing 3-2 defeat away at French side Lyon in their last Europa League game, their first defeat in their opening six European games.
However, despite their star player being in the final stages of his transfer away from the club, Frankfurt managed to beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 at the weekend and sit third in the Bundesliga table.
Nacho Ferri is suspended, while Eric Ebimbe and Aurele Amenda are expected to miss out this week due to injury.
Predicted lineup: Trapp (GK), Koch, Kristensen, Theate, Brown, Collins, Gotze, Skhiri, Larsson, Knauff & Ekitike

Ferencvaros preview: Three wins and three defeats in the EL
Ferencvaros were hammered 5-0 away at Greek side PAOK in their last outing in the Europa League and will be looking for a much better performance on Thursday night.
The Hungarian domestic season is in its winter break so Ferencvaros haven't played competitively since beating Nyiregyhaza Spartacus 1-0 in mid-December.
We're expecting the visitors to go with the same team that earned them a win in their last domestic game.
Predicted lineup: Dibusz (GK), Gartenmann, Paszka, Cisse, Gustavo, Maiga, Rommens, Borges, Makreckis, Pesic & Varga

Player to watch: Hugo Ekitike
Hugo Ekitike will be hoping to take on the role of star striker at Frankfurt once Marmoush completes his move to Manchester City.
The 22-year-old French forward is enjoying his second season with Frankfurt and has chipped in with 13 goals across all competitions during the 2024/25 campaign.
Frankfurt's main source of goals with Marmoush leaving
Ekitike, who only has one goal in the Europa League this season, has scored in each of his last two appearances for the German club and will be itching to add to his European tally on Thursday night.
