Frankfurt vs Liverpool Prediction: Enemies on a narrow road

Both Frankfurt and Liverpool are in need of a morale-boosting win when they meet at Deutsche Bank Park.

In the 2025/26 Champions League, Frankfurt and Liverpool both won their opening home matches, before losing their second away match.

Strangely, they faced Galatasaray and Atletico Madrid, but the results were opposite. Frankfurt easily crushed Galatasaray 5-1 and then lost 1-5 to Atletico. Meanwhile, Liverpool beat Atletico 3-2 and lost 0-1 to Galatasaray in Istanbul.

In general, Frankfurt and Liverpool are both in bad form. The German representative has lost 3/5 recent matches in all competitions.

For the reigning Premier League champions, things are even worse. Liverpool have lost four games in a row, with three of those games conceding decisive goals in the final minutes.

Equally poor in form, but coach Arne Slot's team is holding the advantage in terms of creating opportunities.

In the last four matches, Liverpool's attack has only scored 3 goals from 8.64 expected goals xG. Like the MU match, Gakpo was unlucky because he hit the post 3 times.

If the home team's goal opens up, it will be a chance for Mohamed Salah to find his scoring touch again.

The Egyptian King has failed to score in his last four club games. However, Salah has scored 15 goals in his last 19 away games in the Champions League.

With Isak still unable to get into sync with his new teammates, Hugo Ekitike is likely to start against his old team, after sitting on the bench in the encounter with MU last weekend.

History shows that Liverpool have never lost 5 consecutive official matches. The Kop needs to show their "big" spirit in tonight's away match.
