Eintracht Frankfurt are set to play Wolfsburg at the Deutsche Bank Park on Saturday in the Bundesliga.
Eintracht Frankfurt come into this game on the back of a 3-2 win over Pellegrino Matarazzo's Stuttgart in the Bundesliga. A goal from French centre-back Evan Ndicka and a brace from Australian midfielder Ajdin Hrustic sealed the deal for Oliver Glasner's Eintracht Frankfurt. Goals from centre-back Waldemar Anton and Austrian striker Sasa Kalajdic proved to be a mere consolation for Stuttgart.
Wolfsburg, on the other hand, beat Stefan Leitl's Greuther Furth 4-1 in the league. A brace from young Belgian midfielder Aster Vranckx and second-half goals from midfielder Maximilian Arnold and attacker Maximilian Philipp ensured victory for Florian Kohfeldt's Wolfsburg. Sweden international Branimir Hrgota scored the goal for Greuther Furth.
