RB Leipzig are looking to crown a phenomenal first campaign in the Bundesliga with another victory, while Eintracht Frankfurt revel in mid-table safety following a season of relegation worries.
Eintracht Frankfurt have their eyes firmly set on the DFB Pokal Final against Borussia Dortmund at the end of the month. Their league form has been dreadful for quite a while, they have won just one Bundesliga game in fourteen and have lost their last three on the bounce ahead of our Eintracht Frankfurt vs RB Leipzig preview.
It’s important to note before our Eintracht Frankfurt vs RB Leipzig predictions that the away side brushed Frankfurt aside 3-0 when the sides last met in January. RB Leipzig's only defeat in their last eight fixtures came in their last game against all-conquering Bayern Munich, who needed a couple of last minute goals to overturn Ralph Hasenhüttl’s team at the Red Bull Arena.
Only the champions Bayern and 3rd placed Borussia Dortmund have scored more goals this season than RB Leipzig who have won twenty of their thirty-three league games in 2016/17.
Eintracht Frankfurt have only lost three times at home in 2016/17, but have only won once in their last seven Bundesliga games at the Commerzbank-Arena. Our Eintracht Frankfurt vs RB Leipzig picks simply have to be influenced by that poor sequence and Frankfurt’s prioritisation of the Cup Final.
Leipzig have the second best away record in the Bundesliga this season and I expect them to enhance that record further by winning at Frankfurt on Saturday.
Tip: RB Leipzig to win: Bet365 10/11
