On Sunday afternoon, Eintracht Frankfurt and Hoffenheim clash at Deutsche Bank Park in a game that could be pivotal in who makes the European spots in the Bundesliga.
Frankfurt ended a winless run last time outThe Eagles ended a six-game winless streak last time out with a 2-1 victory at Hoffenheim. The victory also ended a run of four Bundesliga games without a win.
Despite their recent relatively poor form, Eintracht are in sixth place in the table, four points ahead of Sunday’s seventh-place visitors.
The Heidenheim game continued a trend of high-scoring Frankfurt games, with over 2.5 goals scored in their last five matches in the German top flight.
Frankfurt’s potent attack has been a significant factor in the recent high-scoring games, as Dino Toppmoller’s team has scored at least two goals in four of their previous five games.
The Eagles are unbeaten in five home matches in the Bundesliga but have recorded back-to-back draws against Bochum and Wolfsburg.
Hoffenheim have recorded back-to-back wins in the BundesligaThe visitors head to Frankfurt after two straight Bundesliga victories over Borussia Dortmund and Werder Bremen, scoring five goals over the two wins.
The latest results mean that the Sinsheim side has lost just once in their last six Bundesliga outings.
Their recent games have certainly been goal-laden, with over 2.5 goals scored in ten of the last 13 matches in the German top flight.
Hoffenheim have taken four points from their last two away games in the German top-flight. However, the win at Dortmund ended a six-game winless streak on the road.
Pellegrino Matarazzo’s team has been poor in defence in the Bundesliga lately away from home. They have conceded at least two goals in eight of their last nine matches.
What am I backing?The first thought that popped into my mind about this game was, ‘There will be goals in this one’ I can’t ignore my gut reaction, so the bet I am backing is over 2.5 goals.
