Following a dramatic Europa League win over Real Betis, Eintracht Frankfurt head to the Red Bull Arena to take on RB Leipzig in a handsomely-looking Bundesliga encounter.
After a walkover of Spartak Moscow spared Leipzig from an exhausting midweek Europa League action, the hosts are looking to maintain their high-flying Bundesliga form (W4, D1). Leipzig’s overwhelming 6-1 victory away to dead-last Greuther Furth last time out made them the only side to score 6+ goals in three different matches this Bundesliga season, further adding to their confidence. ‘Die Roten Bullen’ also remain the only side in the Bundesliga history to hold Frankfurt winless in top-flight H2Hs in their own backyard (W3, D2), conceding under 1.5 goals in all five of those match-ups. Additionally, Domenico Tedesco’s men have picked up a whopping 22 points from the 27 available in the second half of the season, more than any other Bundesliga side. They have returned an outrageous +19 goal difference from that nine-game sequence.
In the meantime, Frankfurt have picked themselves up from a dismal run of three Bundesliga defeats without scoring, winning their last two league matches by an aggregate score of 6-2. But a lack of consistency has seen Eintracht alternate between winning and not winning across their last six away league games (W3, D1, L2), including losses to fellow top-half rivals Hoffenheim and Koln. Yet, even if they concede first, Oliver Glasner’s side should have enough character to avoid another failure. They’ve gained the second-most points from losing positions (14) this Bundesliga campaign. Unfortunately, Frankfurt’s overall Bundesliga record against Leipzig reads indifferently (W2, D6, L3), though they’ve only lost once in their last eight league H2Hs (W2, D5). Interestingly, each of their last three such match-ups have yielded the same 1-1 scoreline.
