Frankfurt vs Leipzig Prediction
🔊 Can Leipzig secure their first-ever win in Frankfurt? The team arrives at Deutsche Bank Park riding a three-game winning streak, as they continue their push for a Champions League spot. Regardless of the outcome, the Saxons will not drop below fourth place, but a fourth consecutive victory would boost Ole Werner's squad's confidence. Eintracht, on the other hand, are engaged in a more formal battle for sixth place, although their chances seem slim. Nevertheless, Albert Riera's side have shown significant improvement and will be eager to avenge their defeat in the first leg.
Head-to-Head
📊 In the first round, Leipzig thrashed Eintracht with a 6-0 victory. Jan Diomande netted a hat-trick, while Konrad Harder, Christoph Baumgartner, and David Raum also got on the scoresheet. However, in ten trips to Frankfurt, the Saxons have never secured a win: 5 draws and 5 losses.
H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Eintracht Frankfurt Team Overview
🔴 The Eagles secured their first away victory in nearly five months and the first under Alberto Riera, defeating Wolfsburg 2-1. Goals from Oscar Højlund and Arnaud Kalimuendo earned the team three points. They currently sit in seventh place, two points ahead of Freiburg. Climbing higher in the standings will be challenging, as they trail the sixth spot by nine points. However, maintaining their current position is crucial, as it could potentially secure a spot in European competitions under certain scenarios.
⚪ In the remaining rounds, Eintracht face home games against Leipzig, Hamburg, and Stuttgart, as well as away matches at Augsburg and Dortmund's Borussia. Under Riera, the team has significantly improved defensively: they conceded 45 goals in the first 20 rounds (an average of 2.25 per game), but just 9 in the last nine matches.

Leipzig Team Overview
⚪ In the previous round, Leipzig narrowly defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 1-0, despite creating chances worth 2.36 xG. The lone goal came in the 80th minute from Jan Diomande, marking his 11th goal in his debut season. The team is on a three-match winning streak and sits fourth in the standings with 56 points-the same as Stuttgart, but with an inferior goal difference. Leipzig are four points ahead of Bayer Leverkusen and have almost secured a spot in European competitions. However, their main objective is to qualify for the Champions League, so they are focused on securing victories.
🔴 Despite their high level of play, Leipzig aren't particularly prolific in front of goal, scoring 56 times-the lowest among the top six teams. However, their defense remains one of the best, conceding just 36 goals (only Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have better records). Up next, they face matches against Union Berlin and St. Pauli at home, as well as trips to Bayer Leverkusen and Freiburg.

Latest news
Eintracht Frankfurt
🎙️ Albert Riera after the victory over Wolfsburg: "I'm delighted for the players and our fans. We witnessed two different halves. In the first, we controlled the game, especially in attack and when we lost possession. In the second half, our pressing wasn't at the same level, and the opponent played stronger. We need to keep developing to create chances throughout the entire match."
❌ Kauan Santos and Rasmus Kristensen remain in recovery and will not play.
Leipzig
🎙️ Ole Werner ahead of the match: "The first leg is in the past. We're facing a completely different opponent now. Eintracht have a high level of individual quality. We've also become more stable and improved our performance. It will be a tough game, but we're approaching it in good spirits."
❌ The participation of Castello Lukeba and Willi Orban is doubtful. Xaver Schlager will miss the match due to suspension. Péter Gulácsi is not yet 100% ready. Ezequiel Banzuzi, Souleyman Sané, Leopold Zingerle, and Viggo Gebel will also be unavailable.
🟨 Yellow Card Prediction
The match will be officiated by Bastian Dankert. In his last game, he handed out four yellow cards, and he averages about 2.5 bookings over his last ten matches. Both teams are not known for being overly aggressive: Eintracht have received 46 yellow cards, while Leipzig have 44 (averaging around 1.5 per match). Given these stats, it's reasonable to consider under 4.5 yellow cards. This scenario has occurred in the last seven head-to-head meetings and in the previous seven games involving Eintracht.
⚽ Goal Prediction
Games featuring these teams tend to be high-scoring, but there's a key factor-Leipzig have never won in Frankfurt. Considering Eintracht's defensive improvements and Leipzig's struggles in front of goal, it makes sense to look at Leipzig's individual total under 2.5 goals. This bet has been successful in all of Leipzig's away matches in Frankfurt and in 11 of their last 12 games this season.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Despite Leipzig averaging more corners (5.4 compared to Eintracht's 4.5), the home field advantage could play a significant role. Based on their head-to-head history, it's worth considering Eintracht's individual total over 3.5 corners. This outcome has occurred in nine of their last home matches against Leipzig.
Editorial Prediction
Leipzig appear to be the favorites, but Eintracht shouldn't be underestimated. The team has improved since the coaching change and traditionally performs well at home against this opponent. The hosts have some motivation left in their quest for European competition, along with a desire to avenge the heavy defeat from the first round. Leipzig, on the other hand, are inconsistent in away matches, often alternating between wins and dropped points. Considering all factors, it's reasonable to predict that Eintracht will not lose, and the match will be high-scoring. A likely outcome is a 2-2 draw.
