Anything is still possible for Eintracht Frankfurt in the group phase. Both Sporting and Eintracht have 7 points in Group D so far. Due to the worse goal difference, Frankfurt is third and Sporting second. The starting position is clear: the winner qualifies for the Champions League Round of 16.
The game starts on Tuesday evening at 21:00 at the Estádio José Alvalade. The streaming service DAZN * broadcasts the game live.
Eintracht Frankfurt was able to complete the final training session before the last and decisive preliminary round match of the Champions League against Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday with almost the entire team. Only the injured Makoto Hasebe (torn knee ligament) and Christopher Lenz (thigh) were missing before the flight to Lisbon.
The long-term injured Aurélio Buta was back in team training for the first time in about three months and did some running training. Striker Ansgar Knauff trained with the team again ahead of the Bundesliga game against Borussia Dortmund last Friday. Eintracht coach Oliver Glasner promised the 20-year-old a possible assignment on Tuesday evening at the press conference on Friday.
With a win on the last day of the group match at Sporting Lisbon, the Europa League winner would reach the round of 16 in the premier class for the first time. It would even be possible to win the group. In the event of a draw or a defeat, head coach Glasner’s team will continue in the Europa League at most. If Marseille wins against Tottenham at the same time, fourth place and the complete end of Europe would threaten.
The game cannot be seen on free TV. Only the final on June 10, 2023 will be broadcast by ZDF.
