On Friday night, Eintracht Frankfurt and Werder Bremen go head-to-head at the Deutsche Bank Park in the Bundesliga, which could be crucial in the fight for the European spots.
Frankfurt looking to enhance European hopesThe Eagles’ recent inconsistent form in the Bundesliga has not helped their chances of a top-six finish. A 0-0 home draw against Union Berlin last time out means that Frankfurt has won just two of their previous eight games in the German top-flight.
Despite their recent mixed form in the German top flight, Dino Toppmoller’s team are still in sixth place in the table, occupying the last European spot.
The game was a rare high-scoring encounter for Eintracht, as five of their last six Bundesliga games have produced over 2.5 goals.
Frankfurt have been difficult to beat on home soil in the Bundesliga, as they are seven games unbeaten. Three of their last four home matches in the German top-flight have ended in draws.
Their recent home games in the Bundesliga have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in six of their last nine matches.
Werder looking to end a horrendous runThe visitors head to Frankfurt on the back of a woeful recent run of form in the Bundesliga. Last time out, Werder lost 2-0 at home against Wolfsburg, meaning they are winless in five league games, having suffered four consecutive defeats.
Ole Werner’s recent mixed form has left Werder in the limbo of 10th place, 11 points adrift of the European spots, and 10 points clear of the league's bottom three.
The visitor's main issue of late in the German top flight has been conceding two goals in all four straight losses.
Werder has suffered two straight away defeats against Hoffenheim and Union Berlin.
What am I backing?Eintracht Frankfurt has not been great of late, but Werder has been woeful of late. The bet I am backing the home victory, as they tend to be strong on home soil.
