On Wednesday night, Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Monchengladbach go head-to-head at Deutsche Bank Park in the Bundesliga.
Eintracht Frankfurt form guideThe Eagles' recent poor run of form continued last time out, as they went down to a 3-0 defeat at league leaders Bayer Leverkusen. The defeat means that Frankfurt have lost six of their previous seven games in all competitions.
Eintracht have also lost three of their last four matches in the Bundesliga. A reason for that poor recent form is a leaky defence, as Dino Toppmoller’s team has conceded at least two goals in four of their last five league matches.
Despite the recent poor league form, Eintracht Frankfurt are still in eighth place in the table and just three points adrift of the European spots.
One major positive of late for Frankfurt has been their recent home form, as they have lost just one of their previous 17 Bundesliga games on home soil.
Borussia Monchengladbach form guideThe Foals' recent form has been highly inconsistent, as the visitors have won just one of their last five games in all competitions. Last time out, they drew 2-2 with Werder Bremen.
The game against Bremen was another high-scoring encounter for Gerardo Seoane’s team, as 11 of their last 12 games in the German top flight have produced over 2.5 goals.
Gladbach’s recent mixed form has the visitor’s 11th place in the table, seven points adrift of the European spots, and seven points clear of the league's bottom three.
Monchengladbach’s recent away form in the Bundesliga has been poor, as they are winless in their last four games, having conceded at least three goals in each of the four winless league matches.
What am I backing?Neither team will be confident heading into this clash after poor recent league form. I believe this game will be a high-scoring encounter, so the bet I am backing is over 2.5 goals scored.
