For the 5th day of the Europa League, Bordeaux is playing a crucial match at home in the race to qualify for the round of 16. Following a defeat against Apoel Nicosia (1-2), Francis Gillot’s team hosts Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday.
Eintracht Frankfurt is in a favorable position to qualify but is wary of the challenge posed by Bordeaux. Despite a defeat against Maccabi Tel-Aviv, Eintracht Frankfurt is well on its way to progressing in the competition. Constant Djakpa, the Ivorian defender for Frankfurt and a scorer in the first leg against Bordeaux, expressed the team’s objective of winning the match in Bordeaux. Djakpa acknowledged the qualities of Bordeaux as a formidable opponent with a strong tradition in European competitions.
“We come to Bordeaux with the objective of winning the match. We know that many supporters of our club will travel to Bordeaux to support us. We hope to put in a good performance and take the three points,” said Djakpa. Despite the acknowledgment of Bordeaux’s stature, Djakpa emphasized the need for Eintracht to be careful and focused throughout the match against a strong opponent. The German club aims to secure a victory and definitively validate their qualification for the knockout phase.
