"After the 3-0 cup win over Kickers Offenbach the atmosphere in Frankfurt is positive and we can travel to Bremen confidently," – a statement from Eintracht Frankfurt’s Patrick Ochs. He and his team mates will be guests at the Weser Stadium on Saturday, 08.08.09 (kick-off 3:30pm), when Werder start a Bundelsiga campaign at home for the first time since 2004.

 

Last season Frankfurt finished in 13th place, but that is expected to improve under the guidance of new trainer Michael Skibbe, who knows just how high the expectations are at the history steeped club. Aside from the arrival of Maik Franz, Frankfurt have also signed a possible new number 1 in Ralf Fährmann (Schalke 04, currently injured), as well as Selim Teber (1899 Hoffenheim) and Pirmin Schwegler (Leverkusen) – two men for the midfield. And new faces in the midfield were absolutely necessary following the departures of Michael Fink (Besiktas Istanbul) and Junichi Inamoto (Stade Rennes). Hopes are high that the new signings will boost Eintracht into the upper half of the table, where they finished the season before last – ninth position, the clubs best result since 1995.

 

Last season Werder twice beat Eintracht 5-0: "Frankfurt will be determined to improve that situation," warned Thomas Schaaf, and he continued: "We will have to be alert in the game immediately and we cannot allow the opponents to gain any confidence."
