RB Leipzig take on the visitors Eintracht Frankfurt in the 1/8-finals of DFB-Pokal. The match will be played on Wednesday, November 4th at Red Bull Arena (Leipzig).
Clouds are gathering over Leipzig and Marco Rose. RB Leipzig are currently enduring a severe crisis, both in terms of form and injuries, which is negatively impacting their performances. Last week was no exception to this troubling trend. First, they lost 0-1 to Inter in Milan, marking their fourth consecutive defeat in the Champions League. Then, they suffered an embarrassing 1-5 home defeat to Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga. The team has failed to win in their last six matches (five losses and one draw), and their injury list continues to grow, including key players like Zagadou, Simons, Bitshiabu, Poulsen, Raum, Schlager, Lukeba, and Elmas. Every department, except the goalkeeper's position, is struggling, making it hard to see them as favorites against the in-form Eintracht Frankfurt.

Eintracht have been impressive, especially thanks to their brilliant attacking duo Marmoush and Ekitike, who have been pivotal in recent matches. After the November international break, the team hit peak form. They recently demolished Heidenheim 4-0 away, extending their winning streak to seven matches across all competitions. Eintracht's attacking intensity and quick transitions have been their trademarks. In the Bundesliga, they sit second behind Bayern Munich, and in the Europa League, they have secured four wins and a draw from five matches, recently beating Midtjylland 2-1 away. They’ve also advanced in the German Cup. Injuries are not a concern for Frankfurt, with only Højlund and Amenda unavailable, neither of whom are key starters.
Eintracht Frankfurt appear well-positioned to win this match or, at the very least, avoid defeat. In their last Bundesliga visit to Leipzig, Frankfurt won 1-0, and the current circumstances strongly favor them repeating this result. Leipzig's squad is severely weakened by injuries, with half their regular starters unavailable, and their recent performances have been subpar. In contrast, Eintracht are on a seven-match winning streak and have a fully fit squad. It’s puzzling why Frankfurt are considered underdogs in this game given Leipzig’s struggles. Betting on Eintracht to win or draw (double chance) looks like the safest and most logical option.
Prediction for the match: Eintracht Frankfurt not to lose (X2).
