Eintracht Frankfurt vs RB Leipzig prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2024-05-17 13:30.
[p]Heading into the final day of the Bundesliga season, Eintracht Frankfurt need just a single point to hold on to sixth place. The Eagles’ fortunes could improve even further if they do finish in the top-six and Borussia Dortmund win this season’s UEFA Champions League, as that would allow Dino Toppmöller’s men entry to the 2024/25 edition of Europe’s premier club competition.[/p]
[p]A sixth-placed finish would also be Frankfurt’s second-best effort in the last 12 seasons, but to guarantee that, they must avoid defeat against RB Leipzig – something that they’ve failed to do in their last three H2Hs. Frankfurt are a notoriously tough nut to crack at home though, having lost just twice in 16 league games at Deutsche Bank Park this season (W7, D7) – only Stuttgart and Leverkusen have lost fewer in the Bundesliga.[/p]
[p]Frankfurt have won just one of their last eight matches (D3, L4) however, something Leipzig will be keen to take advantage of. The Red Bulls are on the second-longest unbeaten sequence of any side in the German top-flight, having avoided defeat in their last ten such games (W7, D3), although back-to-back draws leaves them on the verge of being held to three consecutive stalemates in a single league campaign for the first time since May 2020![/p]
[p]Motivation may not be at an all-time high for Marco Rose’s men, as irrespective of the result on the final day, they’re guaranteed a fourth-place finish. Leipzig can at least equal their best-ever Bundesliga points tally of 67, having already secured the Champions League football for a sixth successive season. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: After directly contributing to just one goal in his first 11 appearances for the club (A1), Frankfurt forward Hugo Ekitike has managed four in four since then (G3, A1), with each of those matches seeing both teams score. Leipzig’s Benjamin Šeško has been in even better form, netting in each of his side’s last six games, with all of his goals arriving before the 70th minute. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Frankfurt have conceded the fewest goals at home in the Bundesliga this term between the 61st and 75th minutes (one) – but Leipzig have scored the most away goals in the division during the same time period (ten).[/p]
