The 2022-23 UEFA Champions League rumbles on this week with the first round of group stage fixtures, as Eintracht Frankfurt welcome Sporting CP to face them at Deutsche Bank Park. The Bundesliga outfit look to have bounced back from a slow start to the domestic campaign, winning their last two top-flight fixtures.
Now, the Europa League winners will seek to get their season on the continent off to a winning start, as they welcome the Portuguese heavyweights to town. A mixed start in the Primeira Liga has plagued Sporting too - and they'll hope to spin their fortunes around here.

There was plenty of change over the off-season at Frankfurt, with Filip Kostić claimed by Juventus, but the arrival of Mario Götze certainly means the German outfit have brought in some strength to the core of their squad.
