Pre-Match Context
After suffering four games in a row, the Reds aren't quite heading towards uncharted waters. However, the previous occasion the club suffered five defeats on the bounce was during the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. That season ended in relegation from the old First Division.
Currently, nobody's claiming that the team face relegation this season. But the manager will be eager to prevent making that bit of the past. The team need to get their domestic and Champions League campaigns moving positively quickly.
Eintracht Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's competition finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over their opponents and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have defeated the side Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the team they won against. Therefore, forecasting this match proves especially challenging.
The unpredictable fun starts at 8pm UK time. It's on!
