Had you offered Eintracht the possibility of going into the winter break in third place, all concerned would gladly have accepted. Despite their form dipping up and down, it is still set to be a fine season for Dino Töppmöller‘s men. The Eagles have shown they have the strength as a unit to compensate for the loss of top scorer Omar Marmoush in the January transfer window and mount a serious bid for the top four, starting the new year with six matches unbeaten. Hugo Ekitiké has been a dazzling forward presence, with 13 goals for the campaign, and will be key to the club’s top-six ambitions.
