Eintracht Frankfurt vs Hoffenheim Prediction & Betting tips
“Yes, indeed!” No, we do not want to start this article with our English language skills. Instead, it’s about paying a little more attention to the new and old main sponsor of the Frankfurt Eintracht. Indeed, the number one job search engine, extended on Thursday, namely the contract with the Hesse until 2023, and thus continues to be an important part of the SGE success story, which reached its peak in the previous year.
With the renewed qualification for the international business (seventh place) as well as the sensational entry into the semi-finals of the Europa League, the protégés of coach Adi Hütter left huge footprints, which have to be completed in the current season.
A threesome on Matchday 1 of the new Bundesliga season would surely be the perfect start to keep the already high level of euphoria and anticipation alive. Between Frankfurt and Hoffenheim, the odds of the bookmakers illustrate that the eagle-bearers are facing an extremely complicated task, although the guests do not really know where they are now.
The disappointing performance in the first round of the DFB Cup should give the men of Alfred Schreuder, who takes on the challenging succession of Julian Nagelsmann, at least think. In general, we estimate the Kraichgauer in the new season a little weaker than last year, especially since some important players like Amiri or Demirbay have left the club.
We face Eintracht Frankfurt vs. the 57th Bundesliga season before the first Sunday match. Hoffenheim thus the forecast that a tip on the home side will be crowned with success. It would be the third defeat in a row for the TSG in the SBU, because even 2018/2019 lost both direct duels for the blue-white.
Frankfurt:
Eintracht Frankfurt scored 60 goals in the last Bundesliga season. With 54 points occupied the Hesse – despite the interim prospects for a Champions League rank – finally finished seventh place, but still enough for participation in international business.
Because in the summer with Luka Jovic and Sebastien Haller, the two top scorers and with them together 32 matches left the club towards Real Madrid or West Ham United, many experts are still cautious with an optimistic forecast at this early stage.
The first competitive matches in the Europa League qualification and in the DFB Pokal could provide only limited relief. Although the team of coach Adi Hütter is currently out of five games in five wins, but the performances shown revealed plenty of room for improvement, especially on the defensive.
Only against the Liechtenstein Underdog Vaduz remained the SGE defense in two matches without conceding. The 5: 3 against third-league junior Waldhof Mannheim, however, was a wink to the fence post, that must work in the work against the ball until the opening on Sunday afternoon against the TSG. Anyway, before the match Frankfurt vs.. Hoffenheim the odds on at least three or even four goals to be a smart investment investment.
Nevertheless, we expect Eintracht to have good chances for a threesome and argue above all with the bombastic atmosphere in the Commerzbank Arena. Although only eight of the 17 home games were victorious in 2018/2019 (five draws, four defeats), the SBU burned down one or two fireworks at home. Among other things, Hoffenheim was defeated 3: 2.
Also, it should not be forgotten that Fredi Bobic was not idle in the last few days and weeks in the transfer market. The manager of Eintracht managed, among other things, to bring Kevin Trapp, Martin Hinteregger and Sebastian Rode three crowd favorites and top performers back to the Main. In addition, Dominik Kohr provides an additional alternative in midfield.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the preparation, however, was Daichi Kamada. The 23-year-old Japanese, who already moved to the financial capital in 2017, initially failed to make the breakthrough and was loaned to Belgium (St. Truiden) last season, has secured a regular place with strong appearances in practice and in the friendly matches. Together with Ante Rebic and Goncalo Paciencia he is said to compensate for the mentioned offensive departures of Haller and Jovic.
Over the past few years, the black-red-whites have not only developed their own winning mentality, but also a certain self-image of regularly leaving the field as winners. This identity, which must inevitably be associated with the two successful trainers Niko Kovac and Adi Hütter, is one of the most important arguments for daring to tip the home side between Frankfurt and Hoffenheim.
The mentioned Europa League return match at home against Vaduz saw the Austrian coach as a welcome opportunity to spare many regular players. There will therefore be numerous changes in the starting line-up at the weekend. The only downside on Thursday was the serious injury of Marco Russ, who joins so next to new recruit Djibril Sow in the hospital.
Hoffenheim:
Julian Nagelsmann has done outstanding work in Kraichgau over the past three years. When the youngest coach of the Bundesliga took over the office at TSG in 2016, the development curve of the erstwhile upstart showed down.
With his authentic charisma and many tactical ideas, however, he led the Blue-and-Whites into the top of the highest German league and also into the UEFA Champions League. Already in the summer of 2018, the 32-year-old finally announced that he will take over the scepter at RB Leipzig from the 2019/2020 season.
In Sinsheim leaves Nagelsmann a huge gap. Regularly the football teacher took the maximum out of his players and developed current or at least former national players like Süle, Rudy or Uth. Even worse, however, seems the fact that the Kraichgauer in the year one after Nagelsmann expected to reinvent completely.
Although the new head coach, Alfred Schreuder, once assisted his predecessor and also since 2018 as assistant coach of Ajax Amsterdam did an amazingly good job on the side of Erik ten Hag, but the experience as the main responsible coach the Dutchman lost a bit. With the exception of a one-year commitment to Twente Enschede, Schreuder was only active in the second row.
No wonder that many experts the Sinsheimern in advance to certify a complicated transitional season. Our assessment is aimed at the same score, which is why we see Alfred Schreuder at the top of our annual question as to which Bundesliga coach must be the first to take his hat off.
From a personal standpoint, it is aggravating that Nadiem Amiri, Kerem Demirbay (both from Leverkusen), Nico Schulz (BVB) and Joelinton (Newcastle) leave the club four times.
On the other side, Stafylidis, Rudy, Adamyan, Bebou and Skov have signed up for some interesting players, but they have to prove that they can be a reinforcement for TSG. On Thursday, sporting director Rosen also announced a new record transfer.
For almost 15 million euros Diadie Samassekou moves to the tranquil Hoffenheim, where he should support the much weakened central midfield.
We conclude before the duel against Frankfurt. Hoffenheim the forecast of many experts and tend for the reasons mentioned above even to make a bet on the home success of the “magic SGE”. By the way, the former “Nagelsmänner” lost both Bundesliga games to FC Bayern and Eintracht Frankfurt in 2018/2019. A bad omen for Sunday?
Alfred Schreuder has to give up the suspended Baumgartner and the injured Andrej Kramaric. Ishak Belfodil also had some problems lately, so his job is questionable. Leonardo Bittencourt is also out of the game. With Skov, Rudy, Zuber and Bebou we are expecting at least four “newcomers” in the starting eleven. On the defensive, however, should the “Einespielheit” the bargaining chip to kick off.
