Eintracht Frankfurt vs Werder Bremen Prediction & Betting tips
Will the cup match take place in Frankfurt on Wednesday? Yes! Fortunately, this answer can be given after a few games in the top European leagues have been canceled and postponed in recent weeks. The reason for this was almost always the corona virus, which is currently causing quite a stir.
In Switzerland, for example, all Super League league operations were temporarily suspended. The pathogen has so far had no direct influence on the Bundesliga. The Bremen vs. Bremen encounter Frankfurt, which was to take place on Sunday evening, was moved to the European Cup game of Hesse on Friday. The game in Salzburg had to be postponed by almost 24 hours due to a hurricane and the regeneration time of the eagles would have been only two days.
So now the two clubs face each other in the quarter-finals of the DFB Cup. This time the encounter takes place in the Commerzbank Arena. Due to the home advantage, the team of Adi Hütter is classified as a clear favorite by the best bookmakers, which can be seen in the odds comparison of the betting base.
However, the truth is, as always, and on Wednesday evening at 19:30 p.m. we are all smarter about which club will move into the top four teams.
Frankfurt:
Frankfurt Eintracht has sometimes benefited the most from the winter break. The battery of the Adler obviously had to be recharged after a hard year 2019 and the team is now showing its positive face again, which the fans know from the previous season.
In the Europa League, the Hessen defeated Salzburg clearly and moved on to the round of 16. In the German Cup, the repeated move into the top 4 is waving and the trend in the league is also pointing in the right direction – even though there was a setback to deal with recently.
The Hütter protégés lost 1: 2 at home to promoted Union Berlin. A lack of exploitation of opportunities and gross defensive blunders were responsible for the bankruptcy against the Iron.
All relevant tables in Europe are available at the betting base and a look at the tableau in the German upper house shows that the Frankfurters are in no man’s land. The gap to the relegation places is reassuring and the gap to the top is now considerable. Therefore, the focus can be placed entirely on the cup competitions.
In Europe, FC Basel from Switzerland are the next opponents and in the cup, the challenge is Werder Bremen. In terms of personnel, Adi Hütter will send a team similar to the one in Salzburg to the grass. The regeneration time was five days due to the game cancellation on the weekend and therefore all players should be fit and ready for action.
Hasebe or Ilsanker are options in a 4-3-3 system and in a 4-2-3-1 formation, Timothy Chandler should have hopes of an assignment from the start.
Werder Bremen:
How important was the return of full-back Theodor Gebre Selassie and Ludwig Augustinsson for Werder? That will really show on Wednesday for the first time. The last two games against Dortmund and Leipzig are difficult to use as a comparison.
Bremen presented themselves properly against the two top teams, but was ultimately clearly inferior. The week of truth, as they have chosen those responsible, should actually start with the home game on Sunday. The postponement of the Bundesliga game against Eintracht was not in the SVW’s favor, but the club bosses could not prevent a cancellation.
Now the impulse for the season’s final spurt should be set in the cup. Of course, league operations and the struggle for relegation are significantly more important for the club than a possible move into a cup semi-final. But as in the round of 16 against Dortmund Borussia, the green-whites can gain new confidence.
The appearances of Florian Kohfeldt’s protégés in the cup have so far been much freer than in the league, which is why the guests on Wednesday should not be underestimated. The two superstars Davie Selke and Milot Rashica are both ready to attack.
With the exception of Philipp Bargfrede and some long-term injuries (like Niklas Füllkrug), all players are ready for the duel on the Main. Between Frankfurt and Bremen, a forecast for the North Germans is risky, but the visiting team from the Weser is not entirely without chance.
