Players to watch out for:

Hugo Ekitiké (Eintracht Frankfurt)

The Frenchman is one of the best-performing players for Frankfurt this season. After his underwhelming spell at PSG, Ekitiké is finally starting to show the level of performance that was expected from him. His playmaking is his biggest strength and he will be given the responsibility of providing Frankfurt a breakthrough.

Žiga Lipušček (Rigas Futbola Skola)

As RFS are playing away from home, their defence will be heavily tested by the Eagles. This will make Žiga Lipušček their most important player in the upcoming game. The 27-year-old has displayed his elite defensive qualities throughout the season. He has managed to shut down many attackers and something similar will be expected from him against Frankfurt.
