The next football holidays take place: Eintracht Frankfurt receives Olympique Marseille, Thursday at 9 pm, for the third and final home game of the Europa League. While the French have already retired, it belongs to Hesse to win the group.
The starting position
Who would have thought: at the penultimate round of group H, the Eintracht are leading the standings with the perfect record of four wins in four matches and have already qualified for the knockout stages. If the team of coach Adi Hütter scored at least one point more than Lazio in a parallel match in Cyprus, the first place would have disappeared. Many economic and sports benefits are included.
For Marseille, after all the finalists of last year, it is only the famous golden pineapple of the Europa League. The nine-time French champions of the Côte d'Azur have so far ambaded a lean spot and are delighted that Limbadol has fallen from the bottom of the table.

End of the video post
After ten undefeated matches and all sorts of English weeks in a row, some of the regulars in Frankfurt deserve to breathe a bit. Problem: Due to many injured, suspended or unnamed players, only one round of light is possible. Especially in the middle of the field, it's after the final failures of Marc Stendera, Lucas Torro, Allan and Chico Geraldes and the illness of Jonathan De Guzman. The defense also lacks David Abraham; Carlos Salcedo is not eligible to play. In goals, Frederik Rönnow could have a chance of probation.

The number of guests is a much larger puzzle. The season of the Europa League is over, the concentration is already concentrated on the Ligue 1 match Sunday to the neighbors of Reims. As a result, coach Rudi Garcia did not even bring the best players with them (see below). "I do not know either how they will play here," commented Eintracht coach Hütter.
We will still try it – that 's how Marseille could play: Pele – Kamara, Rolando, Car Caleta, Amavi – Lopez, Luiz Gustavo – Chabrolle, Germain, Radonjic – Mitroglou
That's what coaches say
Adi Hutter: It is impressive that we are already qualified. But we also want to win the fifth game and become first in the group. Who wants to defeat us must be very good – we have so much confidence in us while waiting. If we go on the spot, we want to win. Therefore, I expect the team to show the face of the last two months.

Coach Rudi Garcia: It will be a good match against an opponent of the highest level of Bundesliga. We are already out, but we want to do our best – and a revenge would not be bad either. We should never have lost the first leg. Now, we want to prove that we are better than our results show. For young players, it's a huge chance to show up.
It is important to pay attention to these players
It is especially not easy to answer from the guests. The most valuable players and the best performers of Olympique Marseille will spend Thursday night not in the stadium of Frankfurt, but probably on the couch. Florian Thauvin, world champion with a market value of about 50 million euros and ranked tied with superstar Neymar, is spared, as are his colleagues from the Adil Rami and Dimitri national team. Payet or the Dutchman Kevin Strootman. Almost everyone knows what is happening, but there is one: ex-Bayer Luiz Gustavo is in the team. Well, after all.
In the meantime, a look between the posts could be particularly interesting. Substitute Rönnow could replace Kevin Trapp for a match there and breathe a bit of international air. Nicolai Müller also wins a place in the starting lineup.
Game statistics
In a purely statistical way, Marseille can really save the trip to the Rhine-Main winter region. The chances of success on the Frankfurt stage for international guests are not too great. In the last 17 home games on the European stage, Eintracht have lost only one – in the fall of 2006 against US Palermo (1: 2). There was a draw three times, 13 duels ended in a home win. Also at the last start in the Europa League, all the home games of the group were won. We take our hat and say: Champs-Elysees.
