Storylines

Real Madrid: Manager Carlo Ancelotti has stated in the lead-up to this match that he hopes to play the starting XI that won the Champions League final last season, fitness permitting. Not to say teams don't take this game seriously, because they should, but Real seem zeroed in on treating this like a major cup final in pursuit of another piece of hardware. Don't expect any surprises in the starting XI.

Eintracht Frankfurt: They need to have a short memory if they are to win this one. The 6-1 loss at home to Bayern Munich on Friday to kick off their Bundesliga campaign has brought more questions than answers. Manager Oliver Glasner knows his team have to be more committed and united on the pitch to have a chance. A lack of discipline against Bayern cost them, and if they do it again here, they'll lose handily. Expect them to respond and show the energy needed to compete. 

Prediction

Los Blancos have way too much quality, Eintracht are reeling after their last match, and it's an easy win for the favorites in the end. Pick: Real Madrid 3, Eintracht Frankfurt 1
