Eintracht Frankfurt take on the visitors Darmstadt in the 1/8-finals of German DFB Pokal. The match will be played on Tuesday, February 7th at Deutsche Bank Park (Frankfurt).
Eintracht had some good seasons in recent years. But there is every reason to expect that it is under the current mentor, Oliver Glasner, they can enter the "golden" period. First, the Austrian took the Europa League with his new wards. The cost was a serious rollback in the Bundesliga: the club, which had previously fought for the top-four, finished last spring outside the top ten. Now the Eagles have managed to achieve success in the Champions League, making it to the playoffs, and in the Bundesliga they are showing good results. They are currently on a 7-match unbeaten streak. In winter, starting with the win over Schalke 3-0, then the team shared points with Freiburg and Bayern, playing both 1-1. And on February 4, it turned out to defeat Hertha.

Darmstadt has had repeatedly risen to the 1st Bundesliga. Once again, the Lilies did it in 2015, having passed the 2nd division in just a year, and having risen from the 4th level of German football in just 5 years. Then the newcomer was able to catch on to the "registration permit", but gave up their positions in elite division in the second year there. After that, it was not possible to get another promotion. However, in the 2021/2022 draw, it turned out to take a fairly high 4th place. And now Thorsten Lieberknecht's wards are in the lead. Moreover, they won almost 2/3 of the matches, 12 out of 19, with a single defeat in the starting round! After a long pause, the team plays solid. First, revenge was taken from the only offender, Regensburg, who was defeated 2-0. And then with Sandhausen it turned out to score 4 unanswered goals at all, further entrenched in the status of the sole leader. But is it necessary in such a situation to fight for the cup?
The clubs crossed paths in 2015-2017, when Darmstadt were in the Bundesliga 1. Then they strictly exchanged victories over each other - first away, and then at home. Bookmakers expect Eintracht to win in Frankfurt am Main. Given the good form of Darmstadt, it’s not worth the risk - we recommend limiting yourself to the handicap “-1 goal scored” when betting.
Prediction for the match: Eintracht to win with -1.0 handicap.
