Eintracht Frankfurt vs RB Leipzig Prediction & Betting tips
The eighth finals of the cup are scheduled this week in Germany. Eintracht Frankfurt will face RB Leipzig at home on Tuesday.
Eintracht Frankfurt:
Eintracht Frankfurt also played against RB Leipzig more than a week ago, also in its own Commerzbank-Arena. That Adler then surprisingly succeeded in beating Leipzig, although it was going well in that match. Frankfurt had to allow a relatively large number of opportunities, which Leipzig alone was unable to exploit (2-0). Last Saturday, Eintracht delivered a weak match against Fortuna Düsseldorf. Thanks to a late equalizer from Tymothy Chandler, Eintracht grabbed a point to which it was barely entitled (1-1).
“We all know what the cup tournament means for the club,” coach Adi Hütter said at Monday’s press conference. “We have the chance to take a good step towards the final.” Frankfurt has good recent memories of the DFB Pokal. The club was the surprising winner in the 2017/2018 season. At that time, with Niko Kovac as coach of the club from Hessen, Bayern Munich was defeated (1-3). On the way to this eighth final of this edition of the cup tournament, Frankfurt did not encounter any known opponents.
RB Leipzig:
RB Leipzig recorded poor results in the last two rounds in the Bundesliga. After more than a week ago it went wrong in the match against Frankfurt, the team of Julian Nagelsmann lost points for their own audience last Saturday. In the top match against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Die Roten Bullen started exceptionally poorly, which resulted in a 0-2 deficit. After the break, Leipzig came back to 2-2, but again points were lost. RBL has lost the lead position to Bayern.
“Reaching the final of last season was a great experience for the entire club,” Nagelsmann said in the run-up to the Frankfurt match. “Of course we want to go to the final again.” In the final, Leipzig did, however, lose against Bayern (0-3). The Leipzig coach announced at the press conference that he wanted to rotate in a few places in his team. Newcomers Angelino and Dani Olmo may well be in the base.
