At Eintracht Frankfurt, Olympique Marseille is a guest in the Champions League.

We are there live for you. 

Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 Olympique Marseille (-:-), kick-off Wednesday, October 26, 9 p.m

>>> Update ticker <<<

35 minutes:

Mario Götze is the outstanding player of these first 35 minutes.

Technical class, overview, calmness on the ball and a lot of goal risk.

Bunce trainer Hansi Flick, who is also in the stadium, cannot get past the Mittelfelmann.

32 minutes

: An electrifying Champions League game in Frankfurt.

Now the free kick from Olympique Marseille from 40 meters.

The flank finds no buyers.

The ball then lands out of the goal.

Kick off Eintracht Frankfurt.

27 minutes:

25 minutes:

The compensation is really annoying.

Lenz had the great opportunity to make it 2-0, instead there was a hit to 1-1.

Now the first yellow card of the game for Nuno Tavers after a foul on Kamada.

22 minutes: There's compensation!

Matteo Guendouzi introduced the scene himself.

A perfect cross comes from the right and Guendouzi finds it in the penalty area, which can equalize with a direct acceptance.

What a game!

20 minutes:

Next huge opportunity for the SGE!

Christopher Lenz dives free in front of Lopez after a failed back pass from Balerdi.

But the 28-year-old fails from close range in front of the experienced Spanish keeper, who rears up and successfully defends.

15 minutes:

Now another chance for Eintracht Frankfurt.

After a cross, it is the little Mario Götze who tries to head the ball just to the right of the goal.

Both teams want the ball and create chances.

The pace is right.

A decent game so far.

12 minutes:

There is the first goal attempt by Olympique Marseille.

Guendouzi clears Alexis on the right side of the 16, which is worth seeing.

The Chilean's shot misses Kevin Trapp's box by a good two meters.

10 minutes:

Olympique Marseille now presses far into the half of Eintracht Frankfurt.

You can tell that the southern French are under pressure.

This creates gaps in OM's defensive midfield.

The SGE lurks.

8 minutes:

Eintracht Frankfurt starts the game perfectly.

Olympique Marseille must first recover from the shock.

Lindström gets another shot, but the OM defense blocks the shot - no danger.

4 minutes: Gooooool by Kamada.

What a start for Eintracht Frankfurt.

Lindstörm lets the low cross through in the center and Kamada comes in at the end from around 16 meters - a great move.

1st minute:

kick-off in Frankfurt!

Olympique Marseille has the ball and Eintracht Frankfurt is chasing the three important points in the Champions League.

+++ 8:56 p.m .:

As always, the mood in the full Frankfurt Waldstadion is excellent.

The Eintracht anthem "Schwarz-weiß wie Schnee" echoes through the stadium.

Also, there were no reports of violent incidents from the fan camps leading up to the high-risk game against Olympique Marseille.

So everything is ready for a great Champions League evening.

The teams from Eintracht Frankfurt and Olympique Marseille are already in the player tunnel and are about to step onto the field to listen to the Champions League anthem.

+++ 8:48 p.m .:

Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp is coming to his 17th game in the Champions League today.

From 2015 to 2017, the SBU darling was in the box for a few games at his former club Paris St. Germain.

With the Croatian Hrvoje Smolcic, another Frankfurt player will make his debut in the Champions League in just over ten minutes.

+++ 8:41 p.m .:

There is not much Champions League experience in the Eintracht Frankfurt squad – an indication of the steep rise that the SBU has taken.

Mario Götze clearly stands out.

Today he will play his 66th Champions League game against Olympique Marseille.

Previously, he ran in the premier class for Borussia Dortmund and FC Bayern Munich.

With his last employer PSV Eindhoven, the 30-year-old only played in the qualification for the Champions League.

+++ 8:32 p.m .:

If Eintracht Frankfurt still wants to reach the round of 16, a win against Olympique Marseille is a must.

The SBU is currently last in the extremely narrow group.

The parallel encounter in Group D between Tottenham Hotspur and Sporting Lisbon shortly before the end of the group phase is of essential importance for Eintracht Frankfurt's further European tour.

The kick-off in London is also at 9 p.m.

+++ 8:23 p.m .:

In addition to the first leg between Olympique Marseille and Eintracht Frankfurt, the two opponents met in 2018 in the group phase of the Europa League.

The SBU was able to win all three duels.

Eintracht's goal difference against OM at 7:1 is also extremely promising for tonight.

+++ 8:08 p.m .:

The guests of Olympique Marseille have also published their starting line-up.

OM reflects Eintracht Frankfurt's 3-4-2-1 system.

With the exception of Sead Kolasinac, all four former Bundesliga players are in Marseille's starting eleven.

Up front is Chilean striker Alexis Sánchez, who was the most dangerous player in the French ranks in the first leg against SGE.

The left rail player Nuno Tavares from Portugal, who repeatedly caused problems for the Eintracht defense, also starts.

For the previously mentioned professionals Gerson and Dimitri Payet, who are not on good terms with coach Igor Tudor, the only thing that remains for now is the bench.

+++ 19:57:

Eintracht Frankfurt's line-up was announced.

Oliver Glasner's team starts with a back three consisting of Jakic, Smolcic and Ndicka.

The defense of the SGE has never started in this constellation.

Djibril Sow and Daichi Kamada start in midfield.

Eintracht captain Sebastian Rode only has one place on the bench.

The offensive with Mario Götze, Randal Kolo Muani and the extremely strong Jesper Lindstörm is really something to be proud of.

+++ 7:42 p.m .:

The line-ups for the Eintracht Frankfurt game against Olympique Marseille will be announced shortly.

In addition to the yellow-red suspended Tuta, the longer injured Mokoto Hasebe, Aurélio Buta and Ansgar Knauff are out.

In addition, Almamy Touré is not registered for the Champions League.

For OM, central defender Eric Bailly, currently on loan from Manchester United at Marseille, and midfielder Papa Gueye are absent.

The most important players of both teams are on board.

In a few minutes we will find out what the respective starting eleven will look like in the end.

+++ 7:11 p.m.:

Back to sports: Eintracht Frankfurt and coach Oliver Glasner were able to watch a few older Bundesliga games in preparation for opponents Olympique Marseille.

Because a handful of OM professionals played in German professional football in the past.

Argentina centre-back Leonardo Balerdi played for Borussia Dortmund for a while.

Jonathan Clauss, Marseille's right rail player, was under contract at Arminia Bielefeld.

Creative player Amine Harit and defender Sead Kolasinac once belonged to Revierklub Schalke 04. The last known face is Mattéo Guendouzi, who spent a season on loan at Hertha BSC.

In the meantime he has matured and directs the midfield of the southern French with routine and confidence.

+++ 6:35 p.m

.: The first leg between Eintracht Frankfurt and Olympique Marseille on the second day of the Champions League ended with a 1-0 away win for SGE.

Unfortunately, not only sporting aspects of the encounter in the south of France were remembered.

Before, during and after the game, there were clashes between the fan groups.

The second leg is therefore considered a high-risk game.

The police are deployed in large numbers in Frankfurt to ensure that they intervene as quickly and effectively as possible if riots and attacks should occur again.

So far everything has been quiet in the city on the Main.

Let's hope it stays that way and that a peaceful and exciting evening of football awaits.

+++ 6:01 p.m .:

Compared to Champions League opponents Olympique Marseille, Eintracht Frankfurt’s form is much better.

There have been three wins in the last three games in the Bundesliga and DFB Cup.

The goal difference of 10:2 speaks volumes.

One reason for the good results is Mario Götze's consistent performances at an outstanding level.

SGE sports director Markus Krösche raised in the

the performance of newcomer Götze, which characterizes the overall performance of Eintracht Frankfurt: "The development of our offensive players like Daichi Kamada, Randal Kolo Muani or Jesper Lindström has to do with Mario's presence.

The focus of the opponents is often on him, the others have more air to breathe.

The team feels that.” In the Champions League, Mario Götze's next brilliant performance should follow today against OM.

+++ 5:33 p.m .:

The new Croatian coach from Olympique Marseille Igor Tudor did not make friends with the Brazilian or the club icon Dimitri Payet.

In the summer preparation, the two self-confident players are said to have clashed.

The 35-year-old Payet then lost his regular place.

The Frenchman has started just five games in OM this season.

One of them was the first leg against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League.

A return to Tudor's starting eleven is not out of the question for the second leg in the evening.

Payet's influence within the team remains strong as captain.

Igor Tudor knows that too.

+++ 5:02 p.m .:

There was some unrest in Marseille at the beginning of the week.

Reason were statements from the advisor and father of the Brazilian midfield strategist Gerson in

: "I'll try to calm down, but I can't hide the fact that we're angry." The reason for the excitement is the little playing time that the 25-year-old has had since changing coach to Igor Tudor.

In addition, a place in the Brazilian national team at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar seems almost impossible, as adviser Marcao continues: "We are really sad because this coach makes it impossible for us to move from a place in the squad for the World Cup with Brazil dream.” This sideshow certainly doesn't make the task for OM any easier in Frankfurt.

A start-up by the Brazilian against SGE is considered unlikely.

+++ 4:32 p.m .:

After the successful game of the U19s from Eintracht Frankfurt against Olympique Marseille, let’s take a look at the French first team.

OM's season is going very ambivalent this year.

Parallel to the best league start in the club's history under new coach Igor Tudor with six wins and one draw, there were two opening defeats in the Champions League against Tottenham and SGE.

Then there were two victories in the premier class against Sporting.

This was followed by three defeats in a row in Ligue 1.

Thus, this fluctuating form with contradictory signals makes it extremely difficult to assess the current form of the southern French.

+++ 3:53 p.m .:

The encounter between the U19s from Eintracht Frankfurt and Olympique Marseille is over.

Frankfurt win 2-0.

Junior Awusi Boddien followed up in the 83rd minute and made the final score.

This qualifies the SGE for the next round.

On the last day of the game, there will be a decisive duel with Sporting from Lisbon, who won their game against Tottenham 2-1 to win the group.

The winners of the Youth League groups move directly into the round of 16.

The runners-up play in an intermediate round before the round of 16 against various champions of the European youth leagues.

So the last group game for the U19s of the SGE is also of great importance.

+++ 3:32 p.m .:

The last quarter of an hour of regular time is running.

The southern French keep pushing for the equaliser.

The pressure increases.

But the youth of Eintracht Frankfurt consistently opposes it.

The final phase will be exciting.

Since the parallel game between Tottenhams and Sportings U19 is currently 1:2, the SBU and the Portuguese would have already qualified for the next round with these two wins one matchday before the end of the group stage.

OM and the Spurs would have been eliminated.

+++ 2:59 p.m

.: In the Deutsche Bank Park, the Eintracht Frankfurt game against Olympique Marseille will only be whistled off in around six hours.

The U19 teams of both clubs are already dueling in the Youth League.

It is now half time and the SBU has been leading 1-0 since the 5th minute of the game thanks to a goal by Mehdi Loune.

The first leg of the junior premier class ended 2:2.

OM-Kepper Jelle van Neck equalized in the last minute after a corner.

Today Eintracht should be warned against late goals.

The French created a couple of chances just before the break, but the lead is still intact.

The second half is about to begin.

Update from Wednesday, October 26, 1:42 p.m .:

As always, the referee team for the Champions League game between Eintracht Frankfurt and Olympique Marseille comes here.

Spaniard Jesús Gil Manzano will referee the game, with Diego Barbero Sevilla and Ángel Nevado Rodríguez (both Spain) at his side.

The fourth official is Guillermo Cuadra Fernandez from Spain, with compatriot Juan Martinez Munuera taking his place at the screens.

+++ Hello and welcome to our live ticker for the match between Eintracht Frankfurt and Olympique Marseille in the Champions League.

Eintracht Frankfurt versus Marseille: A win is almost mandatory

First report from Wednesday, October 26, 11:15 a.m

.: Frankfurt – Eintracht Frankfurt is under pressure in the Champions League.

The SBU would like to spend the winter in European business, but a win against Olympique Marseille on Wednesday evening (October 26) is almost a must.

Because if Eintracht actually lost the game against OM and Sporting Lisbon (6 points) won at Tottenham Hotspur (7 points) at the same time, the dream of continuing to play a role in international business would have burst early on.

“We all know that the best way to winter internationally is to win the home game against Marseille.

The initial situation is clear.

But the approach doesn't change," said coach Oliver Glasner before the game.

Eintracht Frankfurt goes into the game with a lot of self-confidence, the SBU has won the last three games since the narrow 2:3 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur.

Eintracht Frankfurt without Tuta in the Champions League against Olympique Marseille

“There is no reason for complacency, only for confidence.

That's how I experience the team, mainly because of the way they win," said Glasner before the game between Eintracht Frankfurt and Olympique Marseille.

Coach Oliver Glasner has to do without defender Tuta, who saw yellow-red in the Champions League game against Tottenham.

Apart from the longer injured players, everyone else is on board.

“We are used to having to rebuild at the back.

We had time to prepare for it.

Everyone is fit, and Jerome Onguéné is an additional alternative.

Smolcic will play from the start.

Where exactly, we'll see tomorrow," he said.

Eintracht Frankfurt well prepared for the game against Olympique Marseille

All in all, according to Glasner, Eintracht Frankfurt is well prepared for the game: "We feel ready.

It's up to us to show that tomorrow.

It will be a close game where either side can make a move to winter in Europe.”
