Frankfurt / Main (dpa / lhe) - Eintracht Frankfurt needs a win against Olympique Marseille to progress in the Champions League today (9 p.m. / DAZN). The Bundesliga soccer club is bottom of Group D with four points behind Tottenham Hotspur, who have seven points, and Marseille and Sporting Lisbon, each with six points. A defeat would be tantamount to being eliminated from the premier class.
If Lisbon also wins in the parallel game at Tottenham, third place and wintering in the Europa League would no longer be possible. Eintracht will play the last group game next Tuesday in Lisbon. Croatia's Hrvoje Smolcic will make his starting debut in defence. Central defender Jérôme Onguene is available again for the Frankfurters. After the serious riots in the first leg on September 13, the duel on the Main has been classified as a high-security game. Around 2000 guest fans are expected.
