Eintracht Frankfurt Coach Adi Hutter believes they’re facing “the favourites and the best in the group” in the shape of Lazio tomorrow.
The Biancocelesti fly out to Germany today for the Europa League match, with both sides sitting on three points at the of Group H.
“We and our fans can’t wait to play these games,” Hutter declared in his pre-match Press conference.
“We’ve started the group well with three points, but we have to try to win tomorrow against the favourites and the best in the group, to make qualification more of a downhill slope.
“I think the favourites to go through are Lazio and Marseille. The French played an excellent match against us, while Lazio are an equally strong and disciplined team.
“Would a draw suit both teams? You can’t say, I don’t care if we deservedly win or deservedly lose, what matters is the attitude and believing that we can do it.
“We have to run, be tactically disciplined and compact in defence; trying to control the game and being careful at the back. We’ll need the fans to give us a hand.”
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is widely seen as Lazio’s star man, and Hutter was asked about him.
“We need to pay attention to players like him. We know he’s a great player, his growth has been incredible and we’ll see if he plays from the start.
“In any case we have to keep an eye on him at all times, and in all areas of the pitch.
“We’ll see if players like Milinkovic-Savic and [Ciro] Immobile play tomorrow, given they have to pay Fiorentina on Sunday. We’re prepared anyway.
“I can’t tell you a lot about my team, even my players don’t know, but the important thing is to go onto the pitch with the right conviction.
“Obviously there will be changes because we have to play in the league again soon.”
