Can Frankfurt raise their game to beat Leipzig?
Frankfurt are sitting mid-table in the Bundesliga, a long way from the European places, however. So the German Cup could be their route to European action next season. What will give them some confidence is their home win just back at the end of January over Leipzig. That was a 2-0 success for them.
Frankfurt are unbeaten in their four previous home games against Leipzig as well, holding a W2 D2 record from that sequence. This will be their first-ever game against them in the German Cup. The form of Frankfurt has not been great since early November last year. They have won just three of their last thirteen games in all competitions. They are unwanted in their last three, however (W2 D1).
Frankfurt’s win over Leipzig on January 25th, which was their last home fixture, snapped a run of D1 L3 form that they had been struggling through. Still, they have been prolific in front of goal at home. Frankfurt have scored at least two goals in nine of their last ten home games in all competitions. The problem is that they have conceded at least two in four of their last five.
Can Leipzig avoid the same fate in Frankfurt?
Leipzig’s big goal this season is landing the Bundesliga title. They are pushing Bayern Munich all the way on that front, only trailing the reigning champions by one point currently. Their January loss at Frankfurt is their only defeat since the end of October last year across all competitions. That is some powerful form which they have put together. But there have been a few slips from them on the road recently, however.
