This Tuesday evening you can enjoy the ⅛ finale match-up in the UEFA Champions League between Frankfurt and Napoli. The German squad goes through many ups and downs in the Bundesliga this campaign, currently sitting in 6th position with a total of 38 points. But the Italian squad on the other hand is in excellent form this campaign, leading Serie A with a total of 62 points on their account. Therefore it’s going to be very interesting to see the tactical approach of both teams in their attempt to win this opening duel in Deutsche Bank Park.
Eintracht Frankfurt
The Eagles finished as the second-best team in Group D with a total of 10 points. They shared this group with Tottenham Hotspur (1st-placed team with 11 points), Sporting, and Marseille. Frankfurt did a great job in their last duel of the group stage against Sporting and won the away match by 1:2.
