Having won six of their last seven games in all competitions, Dino Toppmöller's in-form Eintracht Frankfurt side travel to Herning on Thursday to take on Danish champions FC Midtjylland in the Europa League.
Midtjylland, currently second in the Danish Superliga, ended a four-match losing streak on Monday with a narrow 1-0 victory over Silkeborg.
The win could provide a much-needed confidence boost for the Wolves, who have been hit hard by injuries. Cho Gue-Sung, Franculino, Marrony and Aral Simsir have all been out for some time and are all expected to miss Thursday's game as well.
Eintracht coach Dino Toppmöller could make several changes to the side that beat Werder Bremen 1-0 on Saturday to move up to second in the Bundesliga.
Rasmus Kristensen, Mahmoud Dahoud, Hugo Larsson, Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe, Can Uzun and Igor Matanovic are among those who could come into the starting eleven, depending on how many changes Toppmöller wants to make.
On the injury front, only Aurele Amenda and Oscar Hølund remain sidelined for Eintracht, who will also have to manage without Nathaniel Brown, as he's not registered to play in the Europa League.
