Betting on RB Leipzig
RB Leipzig’s hopes of becoming Bundesliga champions are still intact after their victory over Wolfsburg on the last matchday of the season. This victory not only helped the Red Bulls return to winning ways after putting an end to a 14-game unbeaten streak with a loss to Union Berlin two rounds ago, but they also remain fifth in the standings with 39 points, just four points behind the three tournament leaders.
In addition, the team is coming off a great game in the Champions League on Wednesday, drawing 1-1 at home against the mighty Manchester City.
Back in the Bundesliga, Marco Rose’s team are the third-highest scoring club in the league with 43 goals, while the 26 conceded goals are also the third-fewest in the German league.
In terms of home performance, RB Leipzig only lost their first home game two matches ago against Union Berlin and have seven wins with just nine goals conceded in 10 games played.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Janis Blaswich, Lukas Klostermann, Willi Orban, Josko Gvardiol, David Raum, Xaver Schlager, Amadou Haidara, Dominik Szoboszlai, Emil Forsberg, Timo Werner, André Silva.
Betting on Eintracht Frankfurt
Like their opponents, Eintracht Frankfurt also has a chance of challenging for the Bundesliga lead with a couple of good games in the coming weeks. In their last nine games in the German league, the Eagles have lost only one and are sixth in the standings with 38 points, one behind Leipzig and six behind the three league leaders.
However, unlike the Red Bulls, Frankfurt failed in their Champions League clash during the week, as they were defeated at home by the mighty Napoli with a 0-2 score.
With a very difficult tie to turn around in Italy, Oliver Glasner’s men will surely put all their energies into getting a positive result in Leipzig that will take them to a Europa League place or even catapult them into the Champions League.
Thanks to their 42 goals scored, Frankfurt is the fourth highest-scoring club in the Bundesliga, while on the road the team has lost just two games and drawn five times in 10 matches played.
Possible Lineup (3-4-3): Kevin Trapp; Tuta, Kristijan Jakić, Evan Ndicka; Ansgar Knauff, Daichi Kamada, Djibril Sow, Philipp Max; Jesper Lindstrøm, Mario Götze, Rafael Borré.
JefeBet Prediction
The Bundesliga always has entertaining fixtures hidden up the sleeve, and the clash of these clubs next Saturday looks set to be one of them.
Frankfurt’s 4-0 win in matchday 5 is unlikely to be repeated, but it is very likely that both teams will find the net considering that they are among the best scorers in the championship.
An example of this is that the two clubs have only been blanked in three of the 21 matches they have played in the current tournament. The Red Bulls have scored at least twice in the 12 games they played, and Frankfurt has done the same in 11 matches.
Prediction: Both teams score (LEI 2 – FRA 1).
