Eintracht Frankfurt's Bundesliga life is on the line as Energie Cottbus comes to Waldstadion Saturday afternoon. With Friedhelm Funkel's efforts hampered this year with countless injuries this will be a bare-fist battle against the Lausitz side and far from "welcoming".

There are a number of late decisions to be made for Eintract including the final decision of whether Oka Nikolov or Markus Pröll. Herr Funkel is not letting any news out in these key match although given that Nikolov is saying he is healthy, it is most likely that the Macedonian veteran will once again guard the posts.

Zlatan Bajramović, Ümit Korkmaz und Martin Fenin returned from international duty with Bosnia and Herzegovina, Austria and Czech Republic respectively fully-fit and should be ready for this crucial match. In addition Nikos Liberopoulos' involvement will come down to a late decision.

Led by Bojan Prašnikar, Energie, plays with intensity and can never be counted out. Their Slovenia manager uses a tight defensive approach and looks to attack through a counter that includes strikers Dimitar Rangelov, Emil Jula and Serbian Ivica Iliev. Their lineup could be hindered with five players returning from international play including Bajramović's Bosnian teammate Ivan Radeljić, Montenegro's Savo Pavićević, Bulgaria's Dimitar Rangelov and Stanislav Angelov in addition to Albania's Ervin Skela.

No time for question-marks, time for victory and as always the best supporters in Germany must shake the walls. Our team needs us and Cottbus can not be welcomed. Eintracht Frankfurt!
