Eintracht Frankfurt vs RB Leipzig prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2022-09-02 16:30.
Reigning UEFA Europa League champions Eintracht Frankfurt had been grounded by a 2-0 Super Cup defeat and a winless start to their Bundesliga season (D2, L1). However the Eagles rose like a phoenix from the ashes as they came from behind to secure their first league win of the season last time out (4-3 vs Werder), an occasion described by new signing Mario Götze as a “special day” after netting his first Bundesliga goal since 2019.
Now seeking just their first home league win since March and their second of 2022 (D4, L6), Frankfurt are enduring their worst run of winless home games (D4, L2) since a nine-game streak in 2019. Tightening up early could help to end that rotten run, with Frankfurt conceding a league-high four goals in the opening 15 minutes ahead of the round!
RB Leipzig will arrive in Frankfurt in high spirits after an 8-0 cup win over fourth-tier opponents, though that’s hardly comparable to the challenge they’ll face here. The Red Bulls scored within five minutes in their latest Bundesliga win over Wolfsburg though, which is part of a sequence of netting 11 straight competitive goals without reply!
Continuing that trend here would be nothing short of historic as Leipzig have never won an away game against Frankfurt (D4, L3). In fact, that’s the most times that the Red Bulls have faced any opponent away from home without winning, and as they currently endure their worst Bundesliga winless away run of the calendar year (D2, L2), it could yet worsen.
Players to watch: Randal Kolo Muani became the first Frankfurt player since 2015 to record four goal contributions after his first four Bundesliga games at the club, including a goal and assist last time out (G2, A2). As for Leipzig, Timo Werner hit a treble before half-time in their cup win, in what was his fourth hat-trick as a Leipzig player!
Hot stat: Six of Oliver Glasner’s eight personal H2Hs with Leipzig ended level (D6, L2).
