Betting on Eintracht Frankfurt
The Eintracht Frankfurt is going through a rough patch in the Bundesliga, putting their European spot for next season at risk.
With four winless games in a row and only two victories in their last nine matches, the Eagles has dropped to sixth place in the standings with 40 points, just two more than their closest rival, Wolfsburg.
However, the good news for Oliver Glasner’s squad, who was also knocked out in the Champions League round of 16 by Napoli, is that they will be playing at home this Friday. Indeed, they have gone five games unbeaten at home and have only lost once in their last seven matches.
Their solid defense has been one of the main reasons for their good home performance. They have only conceded 14 goals in 12 games, with six of them being scored by Bayern Munich on the opening day of the season. In fact, they have kept five clean sheets at home, and only twice have their opponents scored more than one goal.
Possible lineup (3-4-2-1): Kevin Trapp; Makoto Hasebe, Hrvoje Smolcic, Evan Ndicka; Aurélio Buta, Daichi Kamada, Sebastian Rode, Philipp Max; Rafael Borré, Mario Götze; Randal Kolo Muani.
Betting on VfL Bochum
Bochum is fighting tooth and nail to crawl out of the relegation zone after a tough few weeks with dismal results.
But after clinching two consecutive victories, including a surprising win against RB Leipzig, Thomas Letsch’s squad has managed to shake off their four-game losing streak, which saw them defeated six times in seven games.
What is more impressive is that Bochum has not conceded a single goal in their last two victories. This is a remarkable feat considering they have conceded the most goals in the entire Bundesliga with a whopping 56 goals against. In fact, after 25 matchdays, they are the only team that has conceded more than 50 goals.
It’s no wonder they currently stand at 14th place in the standings with 25 points, just four points above Hertha Berlin and Schalke, who share two of the three spots that lead to the second division.
When it comes to their performance as visitors, Bochum has only managed to secure six points in 13 matches with two wins. Besides, they are also the second-lowest scoring team in this condition, with only nine goals, and of course, they have the worst away defense with a total of 35 goals conceded.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Manuel Riemann; Saidy Janko, Erhan Masovic, Keven Schlotterbeck, Dominique Heintz; Patrick Osterhage, Philipp Forster, Kevin Stoger; Takuma Asano, Philipp Hofmann, Moritz Broschinski.
JefeBet Prediction
Don’t expect much from Bochum in this game, despite their recent mini-revival in the last two matchdays. As visitors, they are a complete disaster. On the other hand, Eintracht Frankfurt is rock-solid when playing at home, having not lost in five matchdays.
Furthermore, the home team is desperate to maintain their European spot, and in the 16 direct confrontations they have had against Bochum in front of their fans, they have only suffered one defeat, way back in the 2007 season.
Prediction: Eintracht Frankfurt wins (EIT 2 – BOC 0)
