Eintracht Frankfurt

LLDDWL

Eintracht Frankfurt will be wanting a better result here after a 2-0 Bundesliga 1 losing effort in their last game against Borussia Dortmund.

In that game, Eintracht Frankfurt managed 30% possession and 8 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. At the other end, Borussia Dortmund got 20 attempts on goal with 5 on target. Jamie Bynoe-Gittens (72', 93') scored for Borussia Dortmund.

It’s not been often in recent times that Eintracht Frankfurt have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Eintracht Frankfurt have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 games, leaking 13 goals during that time. That aside, we will just have to wait and see if that trend will continue on in this upcoming game.

Their prior results show that Eintracht Frankfurt:

• haven't been beaten in the league by Hoffenheim in their last 2 matches.
• are without a home win in the past 2 league games.

Hoffenheim

LDWWDW

Hoffenheim will go into the encounter following a 3-2 Bundesliga 1 win as they beat Holstein Kiel in their previous outing.

In that match, Hoffenheim had 55% possession and 21 attempts on goal with 8 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Hoffenheim was Andrej Kramarić (6', 37', 87'). For their opponents, Holstein Kiel got 17 shots on goal with 6 on target. Alexander Bernhardsson (63') and Shuto Machino (89') scored for Holstein Kiel.

Over the course of their previous 6 outings, Hoffenheim have amassed a tally of 18 goals. Hoffenheim have additionally got on the scoresheet in every single one of those games. During those fixtures, they’ve had 10 goals go into their own net.

Going into this one, Hoffenheim haven't beaten Eintracht Frankfurt in away games against them for the last 8 league matches. Not an away record to be proud of.

ℹ️ Team News: Eintracht Frankfurt

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the sole fitness concern for the Eintracht Frankfurt manager Dino Toppmöller to be concerned about due to a largely intact group. Oscar Højlund (Metatarsal fracture) won’t play.

In our view, Eintracht will possibly go for a 4-2-3-1 system for the game with Kevin Trapp, Rasmus Kristensen, Tuta, Robin Koch, Arthur Theate, Ellyes Skhiri, Hugo Larsson, Can Uzun, Mario Goetze, Fares Chaibi and Hugo Ekitike.

📋 Team News: Hoffenheim

Hoffenheim boss Pellegrino Matarazzo has a number of players out of action. Finn Ole Becker (Meniscus damage), David Jurásek (Forearm fracture), Umut Tohumcu (strain), Ihlas Bebou (Knee surgery), Tom Bischof (Capsular injury) and Ozan Kabak (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be making appearances.

We believe Hoffenheim might make use of a 3-4-1-2 system by sending out Oliver Baumann, Kevin Akpoguma, Anton Stach, Tim Drexler, Pavel Kaderabek, Alexander Prass, Grischa Proemel, Florian Grillitsch, Andrej Kramaric, Adam Hlozek and Marius Buelter.

⚡ Prediction

We believe that Eintracht Frankfurt will most probably see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

At the same time, Hoffenheim won’t find it easy to score themselves but do we see them getting enough chances to score, too.

Accordingly, we see a fairly comfortable 3-1 margin for Eintracht Frankfurt come full-time.
