Frankfurt am Main – Eintracht wants to get back on the road to success in the 44th and final competitive game of the year and keep the points at home. You want to squeeze out everything that's in the tank, said coach Dino Toppmöller. The people of Frankfurt have already given themselves a Christmas present. Regardless of the outcome of the game, they will hibernate in a Champions League place.
Mainz, on the other hand, is in high spirits after the recent coup against record champions Bayern Munich and the jump to seventh place and is coming with great self-confidence. With a win the team can close the gap to Eintracht by two points.
Eintracht coach Toppmöller has to do without Tuta: an important man is missing
Eintracht will still have to do without injured defender Tuta in the Rhine-Main derby. The 25-year-old Brazilian is out of the game on Saturday (3:30 p.m./Sky) due to persistent calf problems. The Hessians had already missed Tuta in the game at RB Leipzig the previous week.
“He will undergo rehab. We hope that he can start training normally again at the beginning of January. A muscular injury in the calf is not dramatic. But it doesn't make sense for us to take a risk. “Especially since we also have other players who are flocking together and also have this quality,” said Eintracht coach Dino Toppmöller.
Toppmöller expects an intense game – Burkardt is missing from Mainz
“It will definitely be very intense for us,” said Toppmöller, predicting a hard-fought game. “It will be a nice challenge against a team that has been very stable in the last few weeks.”
Toppmöller is once again relying on its top strikers Omar Marmoush and Hugo Ekitiké, who have significantly increased their market value through their strong performances. Together, the Frankfurt attack duo is now worth 100 million euros.
Mainz are also missing an important player: Jonathan Burkardt cannot play in Frankfurt due to a thigh injury. (epp/dpa)
