Eintracht Frankfurt and Levski Sofia go head-to-head at the Deutsche Bank Park in the second leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League playoff on Thursday (August 31).
After last week's first-leg clash ending in a 1-1 stalemate, Eintracht failed to make it two wins from two in the new Bundesliga campaign, drawing 1-1 with Mainz at the weekend.
