RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt meet in an intriguing fifth-round Bundesliga fixture on 10 October, with recent meetings between the sides producing plenty of goals. The key question is whether that trend will continue when the teams face each other again.
RB Leipzig have taken six points from their opening four matches, recording two wins and two defeats. Their most recent game ended in a 2-0 loss away to Bayer Leverkusen.
Leipzig conceded once in each half in Leverkusen. They managed three shots on target, won six corners and picked up three yellow cards. The result left them ninth in the table, one point behind the top six.
Ridle Baku and Antonio Nusa currently lead RB Leipzig’s scoring charts, with two goals each. However, the Bulls have suffered three defeats in their past four matches and are regarded as the clear favourites for the upcoming game.
Eintracht Frankfurt
Eintracht Frankfurt drew 2-2 with Freiburg in their previous match. The Eagles took the lead twice, but were pegged back on both occasions.
Younes Ebnoutalib and Jonathan Burkardt scored for the home side. They are also the team’s leading scorers so far this season, with Ebnoutalib having found the net four times and Burkardt three times.
At the time the prediction was written, Eintracht Frankfurt were 10th in the Bundesliga standings, just one point behind RB Leipzig.
Recent record and prediction
Eintracht Frankfurt have won six of their last 10 matches, while RB Leipzig have beaten their opponents in four of the teams’ previous five meetings. The most recent encounter finished 3-1 in Leipzig’s favour.
The expectation is that this match will produce attacking football and a high final score. The prediction is for the two sides to score more than three goals between them, as happened in their three most recent head-to-head fixtures.
