Eintracht Frankfurt – Eagles too good for the drop?
Failing to win their last three league games, losing on each occasion to Dortmund (4-0), Union Berlin (1-2) and Bayer Leverkusen (4-0), has allowed Eintracht Frankfurt (12th – W8 D4 L12, GF83 GA41) to be dragged back into relegation contention. A club more accustomed to top ten finishes and skirmishes across Europe in recent campaigns are now only six points above the Bundesliga’s relegation play-off.
As a consequence of their dismal recent form and disappointing league campaign as a whole, Frankfurt begin Saturday as slight underdogs, despite boasting home advantage at their Commerzbank-Arena. Adi Hutter’s men are more than capable of defying the odds at home, though: Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig and even Bayern Munich were all beaten there this term, the latter in convincing fashion, while Dortmund were forced to settle for a draw.
Furthermore, Frankfurt have been known to benefit from a break in play after collecting 10 of 12 available points (W3 D1) at the very beginning of the year, when the league woke from its winter slumber. The Eagles are a different animal on their own patch then, winning 50% of the time (W6 D3 L3) whilst scoring at a healthy rate of more than two per game (2.25), and could be primed to collect another notable scalp this weekend.
Borussia Monchengladbach – Can Marco Rose keep Foals focused until the end?
Prominent in fourth on 49 points, two clear of Bayer Leverkusen in fifth and only six adrift of leaders Bayern Munich, Gladbach (4th – W15 D4 L6, GF49 GA30) can be more than satisfied with their body of work so far. Under coach Marco Rose this team has exceeded all expectations as far as the league goes (early exits from both the DFB Pokal and Europa League, bowing out in the group, were bitterly disappointing) and have Champions League qualification as well as an outside shot at the title to fight for.
Seeing out the final nine rounds could be tricky though, especially with their form lacking the same level of consistency as some of their rivals. Since then turn of the year The Foals dropped points in precisely half their fixtures (W4 D2 L2), while not since beating Freiburg and Bayern at home in early December have they strung successive wins together – which, after beating FC Koln 2-1 at home in their last encounter in March, is the aim this weekend.
On a more positive note, victory at Frankfurt – a feat not achieved on their previous three visits (D2 L1) – would make it three in a row away from home. A run of five away games without winning preceded that however, while the league’s third-best defence on the road, with 14 shipped from 12 games, has conceded on at least two occasions in five of their last seven away match-ups (W2 D2 L3), keeping only one clean sheet.

Eintracht Frankfurt Vs Borussia Monchengladbach Betting Advice
Quite frankly, Eintracht Frankfurt look far too big at the current odds. The Eagles are without defeat in the most recent three meetings between the two sides at home, albeit only winning the once, and haven’t lost to any of the current top-five in the Bundesliga standings this season, winning three and drawing the other so far. Their opponents are a Monchengladbach side enjoying a stellar campaign in fourth, but whose last seven away results read W2 D2 L3, conceding two or more in five of those.
