Eintracht vs Liverpool prediction, H2H and probable lineups, October 22, 2025
It’s match night for the Eintracht Frankfurt and Liverpool as they lock horns in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League 2025‑26 on Wednesday, October 22. Frankfurt host at the Deutsche Bank Park while Liverpool head in as a side in need of a spark. Both teams have questions to answer, and this could be a wild one.
Form Guide
Eintracht Frankfurt
The hosts have shown flashes of fun going forward but have looked shaky at the back. After a 5-1 hammering of Galatasaray, they then got thrashed 5-1 by Atlético Madrid. Lately, their defence has been leaking too many goals.
Liverpool
The Reds are stumbling. They’ve lost their last four in all competitions and have struggled to find rhythm. If they don’t pick themselves up here, things could get messy.
Head-to-Head
History says Frankfurt have never beaten Liverpool in European competition. Liverpool won one of the two previous encounters (the other a draw). So statistically, the edge is with the Merseysiders.
History doesn’t play the match though—and form and mood will matter more this time around.
Team News
Eintracht Frankfurt
Frankfurt appear likely to stick with their shape, even if the back‐line has been questioned. Young attacker Can Uzun has stepped up and looks set to be involved, while the defence will need to shore itself up.
Liverpool
Liverpool will be missing a few key players. For instance, Ryan Gravenberch is out with an ankle issue, opening the door for Curtis Jones. There’s also chatter around selection choices up front – big names want to step up.
Players to Watch
-
Eintracht Frankfurt: Jonathan Burkardt. He’s been dangerous lately and will relish the chance to make a mark against a big club.
-
Liverpool: Mohamed Salah (if starts). The big game headliner. Also keep an eye on Alexander Isak or Hugo Ekitiké if they play—they’ve got potential to change the game.
Prediction
Expect goals. Both defences have looked vulnerable and both attacks have the ability to punish. I’m leaning: Frankfurt 2-3 Liverpool. Liverpool just about take it, but not without dropping points at least once tonight.
Betting Tips
-
Outcome: Liverpool to win.
-
Goals: Over 2.5 goals looks a good bet (both sides prone to conceding).
-
Another angle: Both teams to score – seems probable.
-
Be cautious: If you favour a tight clean-sheet bet, maybe avoid it; there’s strong chance of a goalfest.
Wrap-Up
So there you go—crowd pumped at Frankfurt, Liverpool hoping to dig themselves out of a slump. If Liverpool show up and click, they’ll win. But Frankfurt will give them a fight, and with the way both teams have defended recently, it could be messy. Sit back, enjoy the ride, and expect entertainment.
