Union meets Frankfurt in play-off round Conference League
We play a double clash against Germany's Eintracht Frankfurt in the play-off round of the Conference League. The winner will advance to the round of 16. The first game will take place at Anderlecht Stadium on 15/02 at 18.45 and the return match in Frankfurt on 22/02 at 21.00.
Eintracht Frankfurt won the Europa League in 2022. So in the Bundesliga, Frankfurt is also invariably among the top teams in recent years.
Although the balance of the last few games is not so good. There was the huge outlier against Bayern Munich: 5-1 win. But also some losses, which means Frankfurt is now eighth in the Bundesliga. Of course, that could be different when we look each other in the eye in just under two months' time.
Dino Topmöller is coach there. The German was coach to Anthony Moris, Guillaume François and Loïc Lapoussin at Virton in 2019. He then became an assistant at Nagelsmann and RB Leipzig and so now he is Frankfurt's head coach.
The players who ring a bell at Frankfurt are amongst others: Kevin Trapp, William Pacho (ex-Antwerp), Farès Chaïbi (Amoura's teammate in the Algerian national team) and Mario Götze.
