Frankfurt will host RB Leipzig at home in this round of the Bundesliga, and coach Topmuller said that if his team can win at home, they can take an important step towards their goal.
After a 0-0 draw with Augsburg in the last round of the Bundesliga, Frankfurt currently ranks third in the standings with 52 points.
Frankfurt coach Topmuller said, "This is the 31st matchday and we are about to face a big showdown. We know very well that if we can win at home, we can take an important step towards our goal. We are determined to win this game and then see the situation in the standings."
"I don't feel any negative pressure, everyone is looking forward to this game and we will see the game against Leipzig as a big opportunity and will go all out to win."
In addition, Leipzig is currently ranked 4th in the standings with 49 points and is also aiming to qualify for the Champions League.
Topmuller continued, "Leipzig is a strong team, and the starting lineup is still as competitive as in the past few seasons. Although their performance this season is slightly different from expectations, this is related to injuries, and some players who have been absent in recent weeks have returned."
"Leipzig are a top team and they have shown this many times. Although they are not as consistent as before, they are still fighting for the league goals and have reached the semi-finals of the German Cup before."
Talking about the team's lineup status, Topmuller said, "Koa Santos and Gotze will continue to be absent, and Igor Matanovic will be absent due to illness. As for Gotze, we still need to continue to observe his recovery. At present, we can only hope that he can return in the final stage of the season, but everything remains to be evaluated."
