Eintracht Frankfurt take on the visitors Bochum in the round 9 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, November 2nd at Deutsche Bank Park (Frankfurt).
Eintracht Frankfurt has slowed down slightly in the past week, yet Topmöller’s squad remains strong in the Bundesliga, currently in the top six. Despite going winless for three consecutive rounds, they’ve faced a tough schedule. They drew 3-3 at home with powerhouse Bayern under Kompany, then narrowly lost 1-2 in Leverkusen, followed by a 1-1 draw in Berlin with Union, where an unfortunate red card for defender Arthur Theate cost them the lead. Theate will be unavailable against Bochum, but Frankfurt’s offense, led by Marmoush and Ekitike, is set to shine. With Bochum up next, the league’s bottom team, Eintracht has some positive momentum after advancing in the DFB-Pokal by overcoming Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-1 at home. They can now fully focus on the league and aim to get back to winning ways. Apart from Theate, right-back Rasmus Kristensen will also be absent, having picked up an injury against Union that will sideline him for 2-3 weeks.

Bochum, meanwhile, is in crisis mode. The club dismissed Peter Zeidler before their crushing 0-5 loss to Bayern in the previous round. Zeidler’s brief tenure saw Bochum earn just one point in eight rounds while conceding a staggering 22 goals. His replacement, Marvin Feldhorf, began with the heavy defeat in Munich. Now, with disarray in their camp, Bochum’s outlook against an in-form Eintracht is bleak. This creates an ideal scenario for Frankfurt to regain momentum, showcasing their offensive strength in front of a home crowd.
Topmöller’s team has scored at least two goals in each of their last three home league matches, while Bochum continues to struggle defensively, conceding four against Dortmund, five against Bayern, and three against Stuttgart recently. Backed by their supporters, Eintracht should comfortably find the net twice or more. The pairing of Marmoush and Ekitike is among the Bundesliga’s most effective attacking duos, and Bochum’s defense will likely face a tough challenge in containing them.
Prediction for the match: Eintracht Frankfurt to win.
