Real madrid vs Eintracht Frankfurt match result Real Madrid and Eintracht Frankfurt meet each other this week in Finland, with the 2022/23 Super Cup final at stake.
The traditional curtain-raising of the European football season will come our way from Helsinki on Wednesday as Champions League winners Real Madrid take on European champions Eintracht Frankfurt in the European Super Cup.
Real Madrid achieved the unimaginable last season, as Carlo Ancelotti inspired the Real Madrid team to the 14th crown in Europe despite the odds they came along the way, although they found themselves in not easy situations every step of the way. Los Blancos also went on to win the La Liga title in the 2021/22 season and will want to add another trophy to their feat this summer as they look to start the new season with full force.
Eintracht Frankfurt became only the third team to win the European League while being undefeated throughout the tournament, from the group stages to the finals. It was their first European win after 42 years, as De Adler, under coach Oliver Glasner, beat prestigious teams such as West Ham and Barcelona on their way to lifting the continental title. They will now be looking to add the Super Cup to their trophy cupboard as well.
Real Madrid’s preparations for the new season achieved mixed results, winning, losing and drawing in one match. Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt won three of their four pre-season friendlies, before starting their season with a superb victory over FC Magdeburg. However, they are heading to face the Super Cup after their 6-1 victory at the hands of Bayern Munich in the German Bundesliga.
Real Madrid news and tactics
Ancelotti, the coach of Real Madrid, is heading in the face of the European Super Cup, with a full squad ready at his disposal with no absentees due to injury. New signings Antonio Rudiger and Aurelien Chuamini may play their first official match with Los Blancos on Wednesday evening.
However, they are unlikely to appear from the start because Ancelotti wants to stay with the team that won the Champions League last season. Therefore, Eder Militao and David Alaba are likely to form the central defensive duo of Real Madrid along with full-back duo Dani Carvajal and Ferland Mendy. Thibaut Courtois will be the man guarding the Spanish capital’s team.
Casemiro will once again carry Los Blancos fortress into the center of the park, with Luka Modric and Toni Kroos providing the attacking momentum and creativity from the midfield. Eduardo Camavinga will be pushing for a start after the impact he made at the end of last season but is likely to come off the bench.
Karim Benzema hasn’t had a lot of minutes during pre-season, but he remains the main threat to Real Madrid in attack and he should start in the central attack role as expected. There is no bypass for Vinicius Junior on the left flank as he will be looking to exploit any gaps left by the Eintracht full-back.
Ancelotti preferred to deploy Federico Valverde on the right flank in the big matches and could once again deploy Uruguay ahead of Rodrigo Joyce. Eden Hazard will be an option from the bench that the Real Madrid manager can call.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mindy; Modric, Casemiro, Kroos; Valverde, Benzema, Vinicius.
Eintracht Frankfurt news and tactics
Jerome Onegin and Aurelio Botta are set to miss Eintracht Frankfurt against Real Madrid due to injuries, while Oliver Glasner will have to dispense with Philip Kostik, who is on his way to Juventus. The Eagles will form their regular 3-4-2-1 formation in Helsinki and are likely to focus on defensive discipline as they try to beat Real Madrid into the break.
Kevin Trapp will guard Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday night, with his three-man defense of Alami Toure, Tota and Ivan Ndica against Real Madrid’s impressive front line.
Ansgar Knauf and Christopher Lenz should line up as wing-backs on the right and left sides, respectively. Given Ansgar Knauf’s natural offensive instincts, Yahya Toure will have some extra defense to do on the right side against the threat of Vinicius Jr. Moussa Su and Sebastian Rudd will line up in midfield and will look to limit the influence of their Real Madrid counterparts.
Responsibility for creativity and opportunity must fall to veteran activist Mario Gotze and young Jesper Lindstrom. The duo will be working behind key striker Rafael Borre and are eyeing fashion opportunities for the Colombian striker. Lucas Alario and Randall Kolo Moane will be additional offensive options from the bench.
Possible lineup (3-4-2-1): Kevin Trapp; Tori, Tota, Ndika; Knauf, Sue; Rodd, Linz; Gotze, Lindstrom; cavity.
