RB Leipzig vs Eintracht Frankfurt: Prediction and Betting Tips

RB Leipzig to keep the pressure on top spot

It has been an amazing season for RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga to say the least. The Leipziger have been very stable in form as they won their last eight matches in the German top league closing the gap with league leaders Bayern Munich to just two points.

They were eliminated by title holders Liverpool from the UEFA Champions League losing 4-0 on aggregate. Coach Julian Nagelsmann and his team can focus on the domestic competitions now as they are battling for the Bundesliga and DFB Pokal titles.

They have a very tough test against Frankfurt, a team that they couldn’t beat in their last three meetings. Coach Nagelsmann will make sure his team bounces back quickly from the UCL defeat, as a win here is crucial to keep the pressure on the Bavarian leaders.

A UCL spot for Eintracht Frankfurt is at stakes

After a great run in the Bundesliga that saw Frankfurt win nine out of ten matches, Coach Adi Hutter’s team lost some momentum and haven’t won in two games. Going into this game, Frankfurt need three points to maintain their position at fourth place.

Prior to that two winless games, Frankfurt beat Bayern Munich at home 2-1 in a very good game by Hutter’s team. Frankfurt need to find that level going into the Leipzig game if they want to keep their place for the UCL spot.

In their last game against Stuttgart, Die Adler had better ball possession with 58% and 490 completed passes but couldn’t convert their 19 goal attempts and eight shots on target to goals that would have earned them full points of the match.
