? Recent Form and Team Situation
Frankfurt finished 3rd in the Bundesliga last season, earning a direct Champions League group stage ticket. However, their summer transfer window was painful: star striker Hugo Ekitike left for Liverpool in a €95M deal, while long-time goalkeeper Kevin Trapp moved to Paris FC. Without these two pillars, Frankfurt’s balance is clearly weakened. Their latest league defeat to Leverkusen (1-3), despite playing 11 vs 9, has also hurt team morale. Still, their attack remains sharp — 13 goals scored in 4 league games, averaging more than 3 per match.
Galatasaray, on the other hand, made one of the boldest transfer windows in Europe. Spending over €100M, they brought in names like Osimhen and Sane, significantly boosting squad depth. The results speak for themselves: 5 wins from 5 league games, 15 goals scored and only 1 conceded. Their firepower is well distributed, with 7 different players finding the net, including Yilmaz.
