Two Bundesliga teams in need of a win to kickstart their league campaign clash on Sunday afternoon, as Eintracht Frankfurt hosts Wolfsburg at the Deutsche Bank Park.
Frankfurt looking to end winless runThe Eagles head into this encounter on the back of a five-game winless run in all competitions. A 2-1 home defeat by Union Saint-Gilloise on Thursday night in the Europa League ended a run of three straight draws.
Frankfurt have won just one of their last five games in the German top flight, having failed to win in their previous three league matches.
A 3-3 draw at Freiburg last time out in the Bundesliga ended a run of low-scoring games, as their previous three games had all produced under 2.5 goals.
Despite their recent indifferent general form, Eintracht Frankfurt has a strong recent home record in the Bundesliga. The Eagles are unbeaten in four home games in the German top-flight, having recorded three wins and a draw.
Wolfsburg failing to turn draws into winsThe Wolves have failed to win any of their last seven matches in the Bundesliga, although five of their previous six games ended in draws. The lack of recent wins has seen Wolfsburg drop to 12th place in the table, although they are still eight points clear of the league’s bottom three.
Their recent league games have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in eight of their last nine Bundesliga outings.
The visitor's recent away record has been poor, as they have won just once in their last ten matches in the German top flight, having suffered seven defeats in the run.
Wolfsburg’s recent league games on their travels have been tight, low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last four league games away from home.
What am I backing?Both teams have been short of victories, but I am backing Eintracht Frankfurt to record a narrow win, as they have a relatively recent solid home record.
