Match backgroundWith a maximum nine Group H points already following their 2-0 home win against Apollon Limassol on matchdaythree, Eintracht Frankfurt are on the cusp of a place in the UEFA Europa League knockout phase as they take on theirCypriot opponents in the rematch.

• Eintracht's first European campaign since 2013/14 has got off to a perfect start, a 2-1 win away to last season'sbeaten finalists Marseille preceding a 4-1 home success against UEFA Europa League regulars Lazio before theymade it three wins out of three against Apollon last time out through first-half goals from Filip Kostić and SébastienHaller. A fourth successive win will secure their qualification, as will a draw should Marseille fail to win at Lazio.

• Apollon, meanwhile, have prolonged their winless streak in the competition proper to a competition-record 14successive matches, losing 2-1 at Lazio then salvaging a 2-2 home draw against Marseille with a last-minuteequaliser before the defeat in Germany. If they make it 15 in a row without a win and Lazio beat Marseille, the Cypriotside will be eliminated.

Previous meetings• The clubs had not met in UEFA competition prior to matchday three.

• Eintracht also won both of their previous matches against Cypriot opposition without conceding, prevailing 3-0 atAPOEL in the 2013/14 UEFA Europa League group stage at the GSP Stadium on their only previous visit to theMediterranean island.

• Apollon have now lost all four of their games against German clubs without scoring. Their two previous fixtures athome to Bundesliga clubs both ended 0-2, most recently against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the 2014/15 UEFAEuropa League group stage.

Form guideApollon• Domestic runners-up in league and cup last term, Apollon's sixth successive season in the UEFA Europa Leaguekicked off in the first qualifying round, where they got the better of Lithuania's Stumbras before ousting Željezničar ofBosnia and Herzegovina, Dinamo Brest of Belarus and, on away goals in the play-offs, Basel.

• Apollon have been in three previous UEFA Europa League group campaigns – a fourth is a record for a Cypriot club– but have never progressed beyond this stage, finishing third in their section in 2013/14 and fourth in both 2014/15and 2017/18. Their record in the group stage is W2 D5 L14 with no wins in the last 14 – a record sequence in thecompetition proper.

• The Limassol club had won all four home games in this European campaign, scoring ten goals and conceding justone, prior to the matchday two draw against Marseille. Indeed, they have been beaten just once in their last 15 UEFAencounters on the island (W9 D5) – 3-0 by Everton in last season’s final group game.

Eintracht• A dramatic 2017/18 German Cup final victory over Bundesliga champions Bayern München – 3-1 in Berlin – not onlygave Eintracht their first major silverware in 30 years but also secured their first European campaign in five.

• Eintracht's only European participation in the past dozen seasons came in 2013/14, when they successfullynegotiated the UEFA Europa League play-offs and group stage, topping their section with 15 points, before going outon away goals to Porto in the round of 32.

• The 1980 UEFA Cup winners won three of their five away fixtures in that 2013/14 campaign and have lost just one oftheir last nine European games on the road (W4 D4). Their overall record in the UEFA Europa League, qualifyingincluded, is W10 D2 L1, the sole defeat coming at Maccabi Tel-Aviv (2-4) on matchday four five years ago almost tothe day.

Links and trivia • From July 2014 until January 2015, Apollon's Maltese international forward André Schembri played for FSVFrankfurt, Eintracht's local rivals.

• Brazilian midfielder Allan is on a season-long loan at Eintracht from Liverpool, having had a similar spell with Apollonin 2017/18.

• Apollon are one of four clubs who reached this season's UEFA Europa League group stage after starting theircampaign in the first qualifying round; the others are FC København, Rangers and Sarpsborg.

• Fotis Papoulis is one goal away from becoming Apollon's joint top scorer in Europe alongside Milenko Špoljarić (11).

• Eintracht are one of six clubs with maximum points from the opening three UEFA Europa League fixtures, the othersbeing FC Zürich (Group A), Salzburg (B), Dinamo Zagreb (D), Arsenal (E) and Chelsea (L).

The coaches• Sofronis Avgousti has coached home-town team Apollon since December 2016, when, as caretaker, he led the clubto victory in each of his first eight league matches and to a successful defence of the Cypriot Cup.
