Wolfsburg vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2024-09-13 13:30.
[p]After squandering a lead to lose to Bayern in round one, Wolfsburg picked up their first win of the season with a 2-0 win over Holstein Kiel heading into the international break. Ralph Hasenhüttl reign at the club has been all or nothing so far as he’s yet to draw in his 11 games at the helm (W6, L5), and a 12th such match would set a new record for drawless outings to open a Wolfsburg boss’ tenure in the Bundesliga era. [/p]
[p]Returning to the Volkswagen Arena won’t necessarily be a boon for Wolfsburg, who have lost five of their last seven home league games while conceding exactly three times in each defeat (W2). That’s more matches than they had lost in their 19 prior Bundesliga encounters on their own patch (W7, D8, L4), so a swift improvement will be the priority as they host Eintracht Frankfurt, a side who have not won here since 2020. [/p]
[p]Much like their opponents, Frankfurt lost before picking up their first win of the season ahead of the break. This will be no small challenge for the Eagles, who face one of the eight sides that they failed to beat both home and away last term, which represents both of the historical meetings between boss Dino Toppmöller and the Wolves (D1, L1). They may need a couple of goals to get that victory, as Frankfurt have failed to register even a single clean sheet in the previous 23 league H2Hs! [/p]
[p]Yet in another negative, only two other current Bundesliga sides are enduring a longer wait for an away triumph than Frankfurt (D1, L4). One of those defeats saw Toppmöller’s men score first, and given that they have failed to win four of their last seven league games on the road when doing so, it may be hard to trust Frankfurt even if they strike first. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Wolfsburg captain Maximilian Arnold contributed to both goals in their first win of the season (G1, A1), with his goal being the first of his last 18 to have made the score 1-0. After scoring just five times in 41 Bundesliga matches for the Wolves, Omar Marmoush has found his shooting boots since making the switch to Frankfurt with 20 goal involvements in 31 league appearances, one of which came against his former club. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Wolfsburg have beaten no side more often than Frankfurt in the Bundesliga (W22, D14, L8). [/p]
