The first match in German Bundesliga brings us two teams from the top of the table, with the proviso that Eintracht is seventh with just one point less than the fifth Borussia M'gladbach. Otherwise, both teams have made a win over the weekend, while we should also add that their autumn duel in M'gladbach ended with a guest victory of Eintracht with 1-0.
Thus, the team from Frankfurt made the fourth match without defeat against Borussia M’gladbach, because last year both of their duels in the championship ended with a draw, while Eintracht was better in the German Cup after the penalty. In addition, we have to point out that the host of this match is currently in the championship series of two wins and two draws, which in turn has returned to the battle for the positions leading to European competitions, especially since they have only one point less than the second-ranked Leverkusen.
That actually means that it is very crowded in the upper part of the table, of course if we exclude the leading Bayern, which only tells us that every point won in the championship will have enormous weight. Otherwise, we should also add that the team of Eintracht is a lot better away than at home, where they after defeats made two draws. As for their problem with absences, striker Abraham and Russ are out of action due to injuries, as well as midfielders de Guzman and Fabian, and the experienced striker Meier.
Probable lineups Eintracht Frankfurt: Hradecky – Salcedo, Hasebe, Falette – Wolf, Boateng, Mascarell, Chandler – Gacinovic – Haller, Rebic
Unlike their rivals from Frankfurt, the team of Borussia recently wins points only on their field, where they made three wins and one draw while they were on the other hand defeated three times in a row. Still, it keeps them in the game for placement in European competitions, as they currently have the same number of points as the second Leverkusen, so it will be very interesting to see if they can now do something in duel with their direct competitor, the seventh Eintracht.
Especially because we have already said that the team from Frankfurt has had a lot of problems on their field lately, while on the other hand, the team from Borussia is expected to finally show something as guest. Otherwise, they have routinely celebrated with 2-0 over Augsburg, so we now expect the same 11 players against Eintracht in the field, especially since midfielders Kramer, Strobl and Benes, and strikers Johnson, Traore and Bobadilla are all still injured.
Probable lineups Borussia M’gladbach: Sommer – Elvedi, Ginter, Vestergaard, Wendt – Herrmann, Cuisance, Zakaria, Hazard – Stindl, Raffael
Given that Eintracht is playing much better away lately, and Borussia at home, we feel that it is finally time for both teams to break this unpleasant tradition and that they with an offensive approach try to reach very important points in the battle for positions that lead to Europe.
Pick: both teams to score
