Eintracht Frankfurt vs RB Leipzig Prediction & Betting tips
Eintracht Frankfurt is the opponent of frontrunner RB Leipzig on Saturday afternoon. Does Frankfurt have the right formula to defeat the club from Saxony?
Eintracht Frankfurt:
Eintracht Frankfurt started the 2020 calendar year in a positive way. The team of coach Adi Hütter played an away game against TSG Hoffenheim. Frankfurt didn’t even finish such a great game, but given that the home team didn’t make much of it, it was enough for the win. In Sinsheim, partly thanks to a goal from Bas Dost, they won 1-2. After a weak end of the first half of the season, this was a nice boost for Die Adler.
Hütter played in a system with four defenders last week, instead of the 3-5-2 system with which the team was very successful last year. Dost probably also pays better in a formation in which he is the only central striker. The combination with Goncalo Paciencia never really emerged before the winter break. Filip Kostic played a strong game last week. Normally the former FC Groningen player will be in the starting line-up of Frankfurt again on Saturday.
RB Leipzig:
RB Leipzig made no mistake last week, in the home game against PhD student FC Union Berlin. However, the home game did not go without difficulties. Leipzig fell 0-1 in front of its own audience, although it is in favor of the team of Julian Nagelsmann that they did not panic. Many opportunities were created, which eventually resulted in three goals, which were good for a 3-1 win. It was the ninth competition in a row in which RBL managed to hit at least three times.
The club from Saxony is not standing still during this transfer period. Allegedly Leipzig is close to attracting Dani Olmo (Dinamo Zagreb). If the Spaniard actually comes to Germany, it will be urgent for the places. Due to the good performance of Christopher Nkunku, a base place for Emil Forsberg is no longer a certainty. Yussuf Poulsen, who witnessed the rise of Leipzig for the most part personally, has also lost his base place this season. On Saturday the attacker will probably start again on the bench. In a week and a half this game will be on the program again, then in the eighth finals of the DFB Pokal.
