RB Leipzig vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-12-05 17:30.
[p]RB Leipzig go into this weekend as the best of the rest in this season’s Bundesliga, as they prepare to host an Eintracht Frankfurt side hovering just outside the European qualification places.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Seven Bundesliga wins in eight (D1) between late August and early November established RB Leipzig as the most serious apparent challengers to Bayern Munich, and although they have won just one of their last three league games since then (D1, L1), the Red Bulls are still clinging on to second spot ahead of this weekend. Their 0-0 draw at Borussia Mönchengladbach last Friday was the first time that they had failed to score since matchday one this term though, and head coach Ole Werner will now be looking to avoid overseeing back-to-back winless top-flight encounters for the first time since taking the job in the summer. An impressive run of six successive home victories this term suggests that Leipzig are good value to bounce back here.[/p]
[p]Frankfurt are one of only three sides who didn’t lose between matchdays seven and 12 in the Bundesliga this season, while they are the highest scorers away from home in the division this term ahead of the weekend with 17 goals, even if Bayern have found the net more times per game in such outings. Like RB Leipzig, the Eagles’ most recent league result was a draw (1-1 against Wolfsburg), but it was another example of them rescuing something from a losing position, as that was the third German top-flight encounter in four in which they have avoided defeat after falling behind. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Frankfurt have won just three of the last 12 H2Hs in all competitions (D5, L4), but they have recorded the two biggest victories in those meetings (both 4-0 wins). [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Six of RB Leipzig’s last seven matches have been decided by at least a two-goal margin. [/p]
[p]No side has conceded fewer home goals in the Bundesliga this season than RB Leipzig (three). [/p]
[p]Frankfurt have scored in 11 of their 12 league games this term. [/p]
[p]Going into this weekend, no team’s Bundesliga matches have featured more second-half goals than Frankfurt’s this season (27). [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Midfielder Xaver Schlager scored RB Leipzig’s second goal in their last home league match against Werder Bremen – his first goal for club or country since March 2024. Michy Batshuayi netted a 96th-minute penalty for Frankfurt against Wolfsburg last Sunday, but that was the third of his four goals for the club which did not lead them to victory (D2, L1). [/p]
[p]Neither side appear to have any fresh absentees from last weekend. [/p]
