We have a full round of fixtures in the German Bundesliga this weekend including the meeting between Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig at Deutsche Bank Park.
The game will be played on the 3rd of September and the hosts begin the weekend in 11th place on 5 points while the visitors are in 9th place on the same number of points.
Eintracht Frankfurt come into the match on the back of a thrilling 4-3 victory at Werder Bremen last weekend.
Eintracht Frankfurt found themselves 2-1 down after 17 minutes but went into half time leading 3-2. A fourth goal for Eintracht Frankfurt shortly after half time was enough to take maximum points despite a late goal from Werder Bremen.
That was the first win in the Bundesliga this season for Eintracht Frankfurt. They started the campaign with a hugely disappointing 6-1 loss at home against defending champions Bayern Munich but have since gone 3 games without defeat in the Bundesliga.
In addition to the win over Werder Bremen, there have been draws with Hertha Berlin away and FC Cologne at home.
Trends show Eintracht Frankfurt have not lost in 5 of their last 6 games in the Bundesliga but they have recorded only 1 victory from their 12 most recent league fixtures.
Both teams have scored in each of Eintracht Frankfurt’s last 6 Bundesliga matches and in each of their last 5 league games on home soil.
RB Leipzig travel to Deutsche Bank Park having recorded their first Bundesliga win of the season last weekend against Wolfsburg at home.
RB Leipzig opened the scoring after only 5 minutes from the penalty spot but were forced to wait until the 90th minute to score their second and secure all 3 points.
RB Leipzig started the season with two draws in the Bundesliga, picking up a point at Stuttgart in a 1-1 draw and then being held to a 2-2 draw at home by FC Cologne. The third game of the season ended in defeat for RB Leipzig as they went down 2-1 at Union Berlin.
Trends show RB Leipzig have failed to win any of their 4 most recent away Bundesliga fixtures. Both teams have scored in each of their last 6 on the road in all competitions.
RB Leipzig have a poor recent record against Eintracht Frankfurt and they have managed to win just 1 of their 10 most recent encounters.
Team news and Eintracht Frankfurt are without injured defender Almamy Toure. He is likely to be the only absentee for the hosts.
RB Leipzig have three players on the treatment table, with Alexander Sörloth, Lukas Klostermann, and Yussuf Poulsen unavailable due to injury. Peter Gulacsi and Ilaix Moriba are both doubts.
One thing we should be guaranteed in this game is goals and we expect to see both teams find the back of the net.
The last 4 meetings between these teams have ended in a draw and we could be in for more of the same in this match, with Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig having to settle for a point.
