Frankfurt Form & Balance Check
Eintracht Frankfurt had certainly imagined the first matchday differently. In their last match against Borussia Dortmund, they suffered a bitter 2-0 defeat. Eintracht never really got into the game and were inferior to Dortmund in many areas. The possession rate in particular speaks volumes: Dortmund dominated possession with 67%, while Frankfurt only recorded a total of seven shots on goal, only two of which were on target.
Frankfurt hardly managed anything offensively against the strong Dortmund side, and this match should serve as a wake-up call for the team. After all, a performance like this will seriously jeopardize the team’s goal of finishing in the upper midfield of the table. It will be crucial for Eintracht to get back on track quickly if they are not to lose sight of their ambitious goals.
Important phase of the first half of the season
Last season, Eintracht Frankfurt finished the first half of the season in 6th place with 27 points. With seven wins, six draws and four defeats from 17 games, they achieved a solid result that laid the foundations for a successful season.
To build on this performance, however, they will have to thoroughly analyze and correct their mistakes. Toppmöller will certainly do everything in his power to develop the team further and continue the positive development. Fans can therefore look forward to seeing what the coming weeks and months have in store for Frankfurt.

Hoffenheim Form & Balance Check
Hoffenheim picked up a win in their first game of the season as they won 3-2 against newly-promoted Holstein Kiel. Hoffenheim dominated the game from the outset with an aggressive attacking display. They were awarded a penalty as early as the 6th minute, which Kramaric converted safely. In the 37th minute, Bülter delivered a sharp cross into the penalty area, which Kramaric skillfully handled and confidently finished off to make it 2:0 at half-time.
Kiel managed to close the gap to 2:1 in the second half, but Hoffenheim remained the dominant team. Kramaric sealed the deal with a hat-trick in the 87th minute. Kiel scored another goal in the 89th minute, but this only served as a cosmetic finish. The final score remained 3:2 for Hoffenheim
injury misfortune
Hoffenheim are currently without several key players, which is severely limiting the team’s ability to perform. Head coach Pellegrino Matarazzo would certainly prefer to be able to call on the full squad in order to utilize all tactical options. Some of the injured players will be able to return to team training shortly, while others will probably take longer.
Umut Tohumcu is missing due to a pulled muscle, while Tom Bischof is out with a capsule injury. Ihlas Bebou is recovering from knee surgery and Finn Ole Becker is suffering from meniscus damage. David Jurásek has suffered a broken forearm and Ozan Kabak is out with a cruciate ligament tear. These absences represent a considerable weakening for Hoffenheim, and it remains to be seen how the team will overcome these challenges

Eintracht Frankfurt will line up unchanged from the game against Dortmund in the tried-and-tested 4-4-2 system. This formation offers a solid balance between offense and defense, but also allows for quick attacks down the wings.
Hoffenheim will once again rely on the successful 3-4-1-2 system that impressed in the first match. This formation allows for a compact defense, while at the same time the two strikers and the attacking midfielder ensure constant pressure on the opposing defense
