Eintracht Frankfurt improved greatly since last season. Just like Hannover, the team was involved into relegation battle last season, but managed to keep their place and elite division and now sit in top-three, battling for medals and a place in Champions League for next season. Kovac’s men played 11 matches on the road this season, taking three draws and four wins and four defeats.
The opponents have played numerous head-to-heads and neither of the teams have advantage. As to upcoming match, we can expect to see quite tough clash with small number of goals combined by the teams.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals.
