The home team is currently in 7th place, with 25 points, after 7 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses. In their second-to-last match, they won at home against FC Augsburg (1-0). In the last match, they drew away with Hamburger SV (1-1). Interestingly, this team has better results away than at home, having recorded 6 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses as visitors in their last 30 matches, scoring 35 goals and conceding 34, compared to 6 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses at home, with 27 goals scored and 24 conceded. In the league, Frankfurt has earned 13 points out of a possible 21, with 4 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in the last 7 games at their stadium.

In this competition, they have not lost any of their last 4 home games. In their home league matches, the most frequent halftime score was 0-0 (3 in 7 matches). Defensive solidity has not been their strong point, having conceded goals in 7 of their last 10 games, but their attack has been regular, scoring in 8 of their last 10 games in this competition. In 15 matches in this competition, they have managed only 1 comeback from the score in 9 games where they conceded the first goal.

Eintracht Frankfurt comes into this match after a draw, 1-1 away at Hamburg, marking the second consecutive game without a loss in this Bundesliga: the only goal for the team was scored by Hugo Larsson. The team, managed by Dino Toppmoller, is expected to maintain their regular 3-4-3 formation, with Ritsu Doan, Can Uzun, and Ansgar Knauff forming a respectable attacking trio. Right-back Rasmus Kristensen plays a key role in transitions and is often used as a launch pad on the right flank. Farès Chaïbi is suspended for this game, along with injured players Timothy Chandler, Michy Batshuayi, and Elias Baum.

There is a trend for fewer goals in their away games, with 5 of their last 8 matches in the league ending with fewer than 2.5 goals.

The advanced sector promises to give the locals headaches, with Maximilian Beier, Serhou Guirassy, and Julian Brandt ready to wreak havoc. On the right flank, Yan Couto stands out as a true arrow, combining speed, technique, and vision to open genuine highways toward the opponent’s goal.
