Hoffenheim vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-08-29 13:30.
[p]After each winning their first games of the new Bundesliga season, Hoffenheim and Eintracht Frankfurt meet on matchday two.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Hoffenheim were big outsiders to beat Bayer Leverkusen away from home last Saturday, making their comeback to win 2-1 after conceding early on particularly noteworthy. That result ended a five-match winless streak in the league (D2, L3) and could give them some hope of ending another fruitless sequence after they lost their final two home league games of last term. As the Kraichgauers conceded at least three times on both occasions, they’ll likely need to tighten up defensively, something with which the recent signing of Swiss international Albian Hajdari should help.[/p]
[p]Frankfurt were expected to see off Werder Bremen last weekend and did so emphatically, completing an eye-catching 4-1 win as they seek to build on last season’s third-place Bundesliga finish. Their clinical performance was all the more impressive given the number of high-quality players they have sold since the start of last season, including Hugo Ekitike and Omar Marmoush to Premier League sides, and losing only one of their last five league away fixtures (W2, D2) should only add to the Eagles’ soaring confidence as they make the short trip south.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Eintracht Frankfurt won three of the last four meetings across all venues (D1) but Hoffenheim have fared much better at home and narrowly lead the H2H ledger in games they have hosted (W6, D5, L5).[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]The last nine H2Hs all saw at least four total goals scored (Hoffenheim: W2, D2, L5).[/p]
[p]Each of Hoffenheim’s last six Bundesliga fixtures also produced over 2.5 goals (W1, D2, L3).[/p]
[p]Frankfurt have scored an average of two goals per game across their last five competitive away fixtures (W2, D3).[/p]
[p]Each of Frankfurt’s last five league away games saw the same number of goals scored in each half (W2, D2, L1).[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Fisnik Asllani has made a brilliant start to the season for Hoffenheim, scoring and assisting in both of their competitive games this term while three of his last four club goals came before half-time. Can Uzun made history against Bremen by becoming the youngest Frankfurt player to register three goal contributions in one game (G1, A2) and four of his six goals for the club arrived between the 55th and 85th minute.[/p]
[p]Wouter Burger and Kōki Machida were forced off with ankle and knee injuries respectively during Hoffenheim’s win over Leverkusen and will be sidelined for some time while Frankfurt do not appear to have any fresh injury concerns.[/p]
