Eintracht Frankfurt is set to begin their UEFA Europa League 2024/25 campaign against Viktoria Plzeň, with the Eagles coming off a strong start to the Bundesliga season, including four victories. They have not lost a Europa League match at home in 13 fixtures but face a new challenge under manager Oliver Glasner, differing from their victorious squad two years ago. Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund aims to recover from a humiliating defeat against Stuttgart as they prepare for a match against winless VfL Bochum, with hopes of a more incisive attack and improved defense. Bayern Munich, currently dominant under new coach Vincent Kompany, is gearing up for a high-stakes clash against Bayer Leverkusen, who recently ended their unbeaten streak. The match is pivotal for both teams, as Bayern seeks revenge for losing the title to Leverkusen last season, while Leverkusen looks to maintain their recent form. Hoffenheim also kicks off their Europa League journey against Danish champions FC Midtjylland, looking to start strong.
