In just one of those home games, they failed to hit the back of the net.

Eintracht Frankfurt Preview – Can Frankfurt continue good form?
Frankfurt have discovered a bit of improved form recently having put together a three-match winning streak.
That was all in league action.
They have actually only lost two games all season, but Eintracht Frankfurt went through a long patch of drawing games.
It is a W3 D7 L2 record that they have produced in their last dozen games in all competitions.
We need to take a look at their away form to try and size things up for football betting in these fixtures.
It has been back to back 2-0 away wins for them, but that snapped a run of five without a win on the road (D3 L2).
