🔴 How Have Frankfurt Started the Season?
Three games in, Frankfurt’s loss to Bayer Leverkusen last Friday represented their first slip up of the season, having dispatched Werder Bremen and Hoffenheim in their first two.
In all honesty, it was a pretty disappointing result given Leverkusen’s turbulent start to the season, and the fact that their opponents went down to 10 men before the hour-mark.
While they can’t really be faulted for the three they conceded - a penalty and two stunning free-kicks, it was their chance creation, or lack there of, which will be of more concern to Dino Toppmöller. Frankfurt created a mere 0.65xG over the 90, managing only 0.37 from open play.
Nonetheless, it wouldn’t be naive to suggest that this might have been a blip, given they’d scored seven goals from 4.3xG across the previous two. Either way, another tough test awaits them and they’ll certainly have to take it up a notch if they hope to cause Galatasaray any problems.
🟠 Are Galatasaray in Good Form?
To put it simply, Galatasaray have been pretty close to faultless since the turn of the season. With five games played, the Turkish giants already have 15 points under their belt, having won all five 5 by a margin of at least two goals.
Their tally of 15 goals remains unparalleled in the Süper Lig, but perhaps even more impressive has been their defence, which has been breeched just once all season.
By all measures, Galatasaray have an obscene abundance of talent this year, and will undoubtedly steamrole their way through the Süper Lig, yet such dominance, and the hefty wage bill that underpins it, only heightens the pressure to deliver on the European stage.
📊 How Do Frankfurt & Galatasaray Compare?
It’s been some time since Eintracht Frankfurt and Galatasaray last met, in fact you have to go as far back as their 1992 UEFA Cup clash.
On that occasion, Galatasaray ground out a 0-0 draw in Germany, before sealing the tie with a 1-0 victory at home.
