Wolfsburg vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2023-09-29 13:30.
Wolfsburg’s 1-0 loss away to Dortmund at the weekend was at least an improvement on their 6-0 and 6-1 drubbings in their two previous Bundesliga visits to BVB, but it was still a “pretty disappointing” defeat for their captain Maximilian Arnold who wished the side played with less fear and better decision making. They consequently head into this round winless in their two games against clubs above them in the table after round five, but the positive is they boast a perfect record against clubs below (W3).
They sit in seventh place, one ahead of upcoming opponents Eintracht Frankfurt, the exact opposite of where the pair ended the 2022/23 Bundesliga. The two played out one of four 2-2 draws hosted by Wolfsburg in the previous league season, extending an impressive personal record for head coach Niko KovaÄŤ against his former employers (W4, D1, L1).
Frankfurt boss Dino Toppmöller was not leading Frankfurt on that day, but he could make a difficult adversary after he steered Frankfurt to a ninth consecutive competitive match in which they conceded no more than one goal with their scoreless draw at home to Freiburg. Although the boss praised the “incredibly hard” effort of his players against Freiburg, he admitted his players are struggling to “carve out simple chances” which could cost them potential wins if not rectified.
Considering Toppmöller forged out a playing career as a defensive midfielder, his side boasting a resolute rearguard but struggling in the final third perhaps isn’t too much of a surprise! Even so, Frankfurt remain unbeaten this season (W4, D5), but Toppmöller cannot escape the fact his side have collected only seven points from their five league games so far (W1, D4), all of which came against teams beneath them in the table heading into this round.
Key battle: Leading Wolfsburg goalscorer Jonas Wind found the net within 15 minutes in both of their home outings this Bundesliga season. Potentially standing in his way this time will be Frankfurt defender Willian Pacho, who was in the division’s top ten after the last round for total tackles and interceptions (23) made.
Hot streak: Wolfsburg’s last 12 competitive matches all produced a winner, ten of which went the way of the pre-match favourites.
