Eintracht Frankfurt host RB Leipzig at the Deutsche Bank Park in Match week ten of the Bundesliga. The hosts are currently placed fifteenth in the league table with just eight points from nine fixtures while the visitors are at sixth in the standings with fourteen points from nine fixtures. Eintracht Frankfurt come into the fixture with a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Bochum in the Bundesliga. They have been a very depleted side when it comes to keeping things tight at the back. Eintracht Frankfurt have not kept a clean sheet in their last four games and have had over 2.5 goals in six out of their last eight fixtures. The team’s questionable defensive form may seem like a factor to not favour them against a high flying Leipzig side. However, it is to be noted that Eintracht Frankfurt have not lost to RB Leipzig at home in the four matches. In fact, they have won three times at home against Leipzig with just one draw at the Deutsche Bank Park.
RB Leipzig will once again aim for a possible Champions League finish at the least by the end of the current season. They come into the game with a 1-0 win over Babelsberg 03 in the Dfb-Pokal. The team’s most recent Bundesliga result was also a profound 4-1 win at home against Greuther Furth. Leipzig, however, have their concerns on the defensive side of things as well. They have raced away to victories, thanks to their impressive goal-scoring abilities, especially since they have managed to keep just a single clean sheet in their last four matches. They also have had over 2.5 goals in six out of their last eight fixtures. It is also interesting that no team has managed a clean sheet in the last three meetings between the two sides.
Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig are two teams that are not at the same place in the Bundesliga standings. While most would favour RB Leipzig for a win on their trip to Eintracht Frankfurt, it is to be noted that Eintracht Frankfurt are not an easy team to beat at home. Both teams like to play with a high line at the back and hence, we are going for over 2.5 goals in this fixture.
