Full-time Kiel 2-4 Frankfurt

The visitors come away from their trip to the north as deserved winners. Kiel did well to come back twice in the fashion they did but the unplayable Marmoush was the difference between the two sides today. The striker is in scintillating form, grabbing himself two goals and two assists today. He finishes matchday five as the Bunesliga's leading goalscorer, and Frankfurt make it four wins in a row now. Kiel will have to wait for that all-important first win.

Half-time: Kiel 1-1 Frankfurt

The teams go in at half-time all square. After a slow start to the game, visitors Frankfurt grew into it, taking the lead through another goal from Marmoush, which the keeper could have maybe done better with. But a foul from Koch on Holtby gave the hosts a penalty and a lifeline back into this game, after it was dispatched by Machino. Two late chances from Marmoush were saved, leaving it 1-1 at the break.

Marmoush continues red hot form!

That's a goal in his last four Bundesliga games now. Tuta clears it to Marmoush on the half-way line, who dribbles up and gets a low left-footed shot away at the near post and Weiner can't get down quick enough. The keeper will be disappointed with himself there, but from start to finish that was too easy for Frankfurt.

Disappointing for Storks

Kiel find themselves with a three on two. The ball is headed down to a free Rosenboom, whose first touch lets him down and prevents him from having a one on one situation with the goalkeeper. He puts in a good cross to Pichler, who heads towards goal but Santos gathers comfortably. Kiel could have had more from that...
18'

So close for Eintracht!

A teasing cross from Dina Abimbe is rolled in towards the back post where it is cut back to an unmarked Marmoush. He gets his shot away and it's narrowly deflected behind for a corner. Nothing comes from the set piece, but Frankfurt are growing into this game here.

Chance for Marmoush

A flicked header releases the forward in behind the Kiel defence, but is resulting shot is deflected and then saved. The best chance of the game so far for Frankfurt.

Dina Abimbe goes through!

The winger finds himself in acres of space and charges towards the Kiel goal, but he tkaes the ball too wide and is caught by the Kiel defence before he can get a shot away.

Kiel still searching for win

Dino Toppmöller's view on Kiel

"They have good shape on the ball and a clear game plan. They're play is structured and they try to get forward and create chances. I don't think they'll sit back and just defend. Kiel have quality in possession, two very dangerous strikers, a good midfield, good technicians and a goalkeeper who can play out from the back. It's an exciting challenge. We're well prepared."

Marcel Rapp's view on Frankfurt

"It's going to be a good game. Frankfurt are a very good team, with really talented players and a lot of pace all over the pitch. They also find ways to score, with individual quality or tidy build-up play. They've been doing that since the start of the season. We have to find the right way to defend against them."

For Kiel, Colin Kleine-Beckel's knee issue continues to keep him on the sidelines, while it's expected that Patrick Erras has recovered from a concussion he suffered in the 6-1 defeat to Bayern Munich a fortnight ago.

Frankfurt team news

Captain Kevin Trapp is still out of action, giving Kauã Santos another chance between the sticks. Mario Götze, meanwhile, has been struggling with an illness that could keep him out of action. As such, the attacking responsibility will fall on the shoulders of Hugo Ekitiké and Omar Marmoush, who have already struck up a strong understanding.

Strong start under Toppmöller

Frankfurt are currently on a three-game winning streak, their longest such run under Toppmöller in the Bundesliga. They are currently enjoying their best start to a season since the 2016/17 campaign.

Getting the better of the new boys

The Eagles are unbeaten in their previous 11 matches against newly-promoted outfits, while they picked up 10 out of possible 12 points against the newly-promoted sides during the 2023/24 term.

Tale of the tape

There has been just one previous meeting between these two sides since the Bundesliga's foundation - a 1996/97 DFB Cup first-round clash. On that occasion, Frankfurt prevailed 4-2, a result Dino Toppmöller would be happy to see repeated here.

Walk like an Egyptian

Marmoush has scored four times across the last three games, but has never fired in four straight Bundesliga matches.
