Eintracht Frankfurt vs SV Darmstadt 98 » Prediction, Watch Live + Odds & Stats 07.02.2023

On Tuesday night, Eintracht Frankfurt and Darmstadt meet in the last 16 of the DFB Pokal in what could be the tie of the round.

Oliver Glasner’s team heads into this game in confident mood, as a comfortable 3-0 home win over Hertha Berlin last time out made the Eagles eight matches undefeated. The result also means that Frankfurt has scored at least two goals in five of those eight unbeaten matches.

Eintracht Frankfurt has a decent recent record in the DFB Pokal, as they have won seven of their last ten matches in the competition while scoring at least two goals in each of the victories.

The Eagles also have a strong recent home record in the DFB Pokal, winning four of their last five home games in the competition.

The visitors are enjoying a good season so far in the 2. Bundesliga, as they are top of the table and in good form. A 4-0 win at Sandhausen last time out in the German second tier means that Darmstadt are now undefeated in their previous 13 competitive matches.

Darmstadt has built their recent stellar form on the foundations of a good defensive record, as they have kept four clean sheets in their previous five matches.

Darmstadt has also been difficult to beat in the DFB Pokal, as they head into this clash on the back of a five-match run without defeat in the competition. They are also undefeated in their previous seven away games in over 90 minutes in the DFB Pokal.

Eintracht Frankfurt will be without Eric Dina Ebimbe through injury, while Faride Alidou and Jens Grahl are also fitness doubts. Darmstadt look likely to be without Patric Pfeiffer, Matthias Bader, Klaus Gjasula and Aaron Seydel through injury.

This will be a massive test of Darmstadt’s Bundesliga credentials. However, I am backing the Eagles to end their recent unbeaten run by recording a narrow victory.
