The UEFA Europa Conference League match between Eintracht Frankfurt and Levski Sofia will take place at Deutsche Bank Park on Friday at 12:00 am IST.
Eintracht Frankfurt will be anticipating a successful conclusion to secure their place in the Europa Conference League group stage as they welcome Levski Sofia for the second leg of their playoff encounter on Thursday. Nonetheless, Levski Sofia demonstrated their capabilities and shouldn’t be overlooked, as they managed to secure a 1-1 draw in the first leg last week. Nevertheless, Frankfurt is driven to embark on another European journey, building on their victory in the Europa League in May 2022, and their inaugural participation in the Champions League, where they reached the Round of 16 but were ultimately eliminated by Serie A champions Napoli.
Despite conceding a late equalizer in the 95th minute against Levski Sofia at the Vasil Levski National Stadium, Randal Kolo Muani’s early goal in the sixth minute keeps them in a favorable position to progress to the group stage. In their recent match, Frankfurt also benefited from a last-minute goal, with new addition Omar Marmoush securing a crucial point against Mainz 05, a commendable outcome considering Ansgar Knauff’s red card in the 60th minute following Lee Jae-sung’s first-half goal.
On the other hand, Levski Sofia hasn’t reached the group stage of any European competition since their last-place finish in Group C of the 2010-11 Europa League campaign. They’re determined to cause an upset at Deutsch-Bank Park this week, especially after Hassimi Fadiga’s late equalizer injected a glimmer of hope into their prospects from the first leg. Given that Levski Sofia hasn’t claimed their domestic title since 2009, progressing to the group stage of a European competition would mark a significant accomplishment. Frankfurt should expect a highly motivated opponent in tomorrow’s game.
Eintracht Frankfurt’s probable starting lineup: Trapp, Koch, Tuta, Pacho, Knauff, Ebimbe, Skhiri, Lenz, Gotze, Marmoush, Kolo Muani
Levski Sofia probable starting lineup: Andreev, Petris, Dimitrov, Cordoba, Tsunami, Mitkov, Kraev, El Jemili, Fadiga, Ricardinho, Welton
