Topmuller: We have enough strength to win

Frankfurt will host Stuttgart at home in the 27th round of the 2024/25 Bundesliga season. Coach Top Muller said his team has enough strength to win and called on the team to try not to give the opponent any chances in the game.

With goals from Christensen, Bavaro and Batshuayi, Frankfurt beat Bochum 3-1 away in the last round of the league. Currently, Frankfurt ranks 4th in the standings with 45 points.

As for Stuttgart, Hoeness's team is currently ranked 10th in the standings with 37 points. In the past five rounds, they have only achieved 2 draws and 3 losses, so their determination to fight for 3 points will be extremely strong.

In the first leg of this season, Frankfurt beat Stuttgart 3-2 away from home.

Frankfurt coach Topmuller said, "I expect this will be an exciting game. Both teams tend to attack. There were 5 goals in the first leg, and there could be more. Both sides want to control the tempo of the game, attack actively and strive for goals. Both teams have strong lineups and have enough individual abilities in offense. Whether it is a successful breakthrough, a wonderful pass or an individual's momentary performance, it is likely to determine the course of the game."

"So everything indicates that this will be an exciting match. We need to be aggressive at critical moments, give the opponent as few chances as possible, and keep the formation compact, but it is almost impossible to completely contain a team with such excellent offensive ability."

Topmuller also said, "When you see the interaction between the players every day and feel their ambition, you will understand that there is no need to hold a special meeting to remind them how important the next game is. Everyone is very clear about the current situation, and our goal is clear, which is to beat Stuttgart."

“It will be a difficult game but we have enough quality to win and we hope to rise to the challenge together with the support of our home fans.”

When talking about the team's lineup status, Topmuller said, "Tyaat can return and is competing for the starting position. Oscar Hoylend, Schiri and Hugo Larsson have resumed training. Although Matanovic participated in the training, he will not play for the time being. Kevin Trapp has been training alone this week, and we are gradually increasing the intensity of his training."
