One of the most intriguing fixtures in the upcoming Champions League round will take place on Wednesday night in Frankfurt, where Eintracht hosts Liverpool. Both teams struggled recently, so the game at Deutsche Bank Park will be a good opportunity for both to return to the right track. Can Eintracht Frankfurt take advantage of the recent Liverpool slump and win? Let's break down the match and find the best betting option.
H2H stats
Eintracht Frankfurt and Liverpool met only in two matches of the 1/32 final of the UEFA Cup in the 1972/73 season, when the English side won 2-0 on aggregate score. In the game in Frankfurt, it was 0-0.
Eintracht Frankfurt team overview
Last season was the best Eintracht Frankfurt season in the 21st century, as they ended third on the table and secured one of the rare appearances in the Champions League. Eintracht Frankfurt's 2025/26 season well illustrates how hard it is to participate in a few competitions simultaneously. They are seventh on the Bundesliga table, while Dino Toppmoller's team won three points in two Champions League rounds. Eintracht Frankfurt won only one of the last five matches. In the previous game, they played 2-2 on the road against Freiburg. The guests were close to victory, but the home side scored late in the second half and left Eintracht Frankfurt disappointed.
After the game against Freiburg, Eintracht's head coach, Dino Toppmoller, was fairly pleased. He said, "It was an exciting and very hard-fought match without much goalmouth action. We scored two goals out of very little. Freiburg did too. A draw was a fair result, even if it feels frustrating because we conceded the equalizer near the end."
Elias Baum is injured and will not play on Wednesday. He should be the only one unavailable for Eintracht Frankfurt.

Liverpool team overview
Liverpool won their 20th Premier League title last season and were candidates for all trophies in the 2025/26 season, too, but Arne Slot's team is not looking good right now. After a perfect start and seven wins in seven matches, Liverpool lost the following four in all competitions. That is the worst sequence of results since Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool in 2014.
Last weekend, Slot's team lost 2-1 at home against their biggest rival, Manchester United. Liverpool ended the game with an xG of 2.75, while the guests ended with only 1.34, but the guests still secured a big victory. If Arne Slot's team loses on Wednesday in Frankfurt, that will be the worst streak for Liverpool since 1953.
Arne Slot was obviously disappointed after another defeat. He shortly commented, "If you lose four times in a row, you need to be concerned."
Liverpool have some problems with injuries. Alisson, Luke Chambers, Giovanni Leoni, and Callum Scanlon are injured and will not play on Wednesday night, while Wataru Endo is questionable.

Prediction
The main reason why both teams struggle lately is their defenses. Eintracht Frankfurt conceded 22 goals in the previous seven games. On the other hand, Liverpool have allowed at least one goal in the last seven matches. With leaky defenses and more than good attacking lines, we should expect at least four goals in the upcoming clash. Our prediction: Over 3.5 goals.
3 Reasons why we should expect four or more goals in this match
- Eintracht Frankfurt allowed 22 goals in the last seven matches
- There were four or more goals in nine of the previous ten Eintracht Frankfurt games
- Liverpool conceded at least one goal in each of the last seven matches
Main prediction Eintracht Frankfurt - Liverpool
Over 3.5 goals
