Eintracht Frankfurt vs Bochum prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2024-11-01 14:30.
[p]After winning four successive Bundesliga matches, Eintracht Frankfurt were flying high in second place after five rounds, but three consecutive matches against current top-four sides have understandably seen their form tail off (D2, L1). The Eagles sat sixth heading into the weekend, and a clash against basement boys Bochum should have them confident of a return to winning form.[/p]
[p]Dino Toppmöller’s side have enjoyed this fixture over the years, losing it just once on home soil since 1987. However, Frankfurt have actually failed to win any of the last four H2Hs at any venue in the Bundesliga (D3, L1), only experiencing a longer such streak in the league against Dortmund (seven). They’ll hope their unbeaten league start at Deutsche Bank Park this term can help correct that (W2, D2).[/p]
[p]Bochum’s disastrous start to the campaign shows no sign of improving after being thumped 5-0 by Bayern Munich at the weekend. That was their first game under the interim managerial pair of Markus Feldoff and Murat Ural following the sacking of Peter Zeidler, but there was no change to their downward spiral which has seen the Blues concede 15 goals in their last four matches.[/p]
[p]In the process, Bochum became the first side in top-flight history to remain winless after the first eight Bundesliga matchdays in three consecutive seasons. The first instance of this in 2022/23 saw the Blues break their duck at the ninth time of asking with a 3-0 victory over Frankfurt, so perhaps all hope is not lost for the beleaguered travelling fans.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Omar Marmoush opened the scoring in last season’s corresponding fixture, while he’s also found the net at least once in all three of Frankfurt’s Bundesliga home games this campaign, netting the final goal of the match each time. Moritz Broschinski was also on the scoresheet at Deutsche Bank Park in February, part of a run of his last three goals being Bochum’s first on the day.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Bochum have conceded 2+ goals in 11 of their last 14 Bundesliga away matches.[/p]
