RB Leipzig take on the visitors Eintracht Frankfurt in the round 22 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, February 25th at Red Bull Arena (Leipzig)
During the week, Leipzig pleased their fans by playing a draw in the Champions League against one of the main favorites to win the tournament. We think the "Bulls" left too much strength and emotion in the match against Manchester City to beat a strong Eintracht with a goal difference of more than one. We think the hosts will have a very difficult time in this match. And things haven't been going smoothly for Red Bull in the championship lately, with their victory over Wolfsburg last week being the first for the team in the last three Bundesliga rounds. Prior to that, there was a draw with Cologne (0-0) and a loss to Union (1-2). Moreover, the "Bulls" lost to Union at home. By the way, in their last three league matches at home, Marco Rose's team has only won one game, against weak Stuttgart with a one-goal difference (2-1).

Eintracht also played in the Champions League during the week. Yes, they predictably lost 0-2 to Napoli, but for a decent part of the match, the "Eagles" were playing with one player sent off. They played their European match on the day of Leipzig's match, which is a small but still an advantage for the team before the head-to-head match. And how are the "Eagles" doing in the country's championship? The team is fighting for medals, trailing the "Bulls" by only one point in the standings. Yes, in the previous home match of the Bundesliga, there was a loss to Cologne, but it was the only one defeat for Frankfurt in the last nine rounds. In ten away matches of the league, the team lost only twice, and in the last five such matches, only once. Will Oliver Glasner's team be able to challenge their opponents in the next round?
In this match, two teams of approximately equal strength - neighbors in the standings and direct competitors in the fight for medals and a place in the Champions League - will meet on the field. Bookmakers are putting the "Bulls" as favorites, which may be logical on paper. But the "Eagles" are unlikely to give their opponents an easy victory. Therefore, we consider it reasonable to take the plus handicap for the visitors. Eintracht are a very strong team, which is not significantly inferior to the hosts both in terms of the squad and the football. And in recent years, Leipzig has stopped winning against this opponent. In the first round of this season, the "Eagles" crushed the "Bulls" 4-0 in their home match. And in four head-to-head matches, there were four draws recorded. Moreover, Eintracht has not lost to this opponent in eight consecutive head-to-head meetings. I think if the visitors lose this time, it will be with a one-goal difference, no more.
Prediction for the match: Eintracht Frankfurt to win with +1.5 handicap.
