On Saturday night, Eintracht Frankfurt and Bochum clash at the Deutsche Bank Park as both teams look to bounce back to winning ways in the Bundesliga.
The nine-men Eagles suffer a defeat at KolnDino Toppmoller’s team saw a four-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga end last time out, as the Eagles suffered a 2-0 defeat at Koln after the dismissal of defenders Niels Nkounkou and Tuta.
The game was another low-scoring game for Frankfurt in the German top flight, as there have been under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four league games.
The recent good run of form has kept Eintracht in the Bundesliga’s top six, three points clear of seventh-place Freiburg.
The Eagles have been strong on home soil of late in the Bundesliga, recording three straight home victories. Their recent league games in the German top flight have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five outings.
Bochum’s recent league form is highly inconsistentThe visitors’ recent inconsistent Bundesliga form continued last time out, as they drew 1-1 with Augsburg on home soil. The draw means that Bochum has won just one of their previous five matches in the Bundesliga.
The mixed recent run of form has affected their league position, as they are now in 14th place in the table, six points clear of the league’s relegation zone.
Thomas Letsch’s team have struggled to pick up results on their travels in the German top flight.
The visitors are winless in four away games in the Bundesliga, having suffered three straight away defeats against Hoffenheim, Bayer Leverkusen and Dortmund.
Bochum’s defensive record on their travels in the German top flight has been poor, as they have conceded at least two goals in all three of the recent away league games.
What am I backing?Eintracht Frankfurt were in good form before the Koln defeat, and I am backing the Eagles to get back on track in this clash.
