In this season “Die Adler” conducted 11 clashes on the road, having lost only once while the rest of the games ended with three draws and seven triumphs. Eintracht Frankfurt’s unbeaten run at away turfs consists of six encounters and has been lasting since the 14th of October.

Prediction for the match: Eintracht Frankfurt to win.
