Eintracht Frankfurt Facts To Know

The restart in the Bundesliga is crucial for Eintracht Frankfurt, as they have gone four without a win in Germany. They will still have their sights set on a Champions League finish this term, but they have six points to make up on the top four.

Meanwhile, Frankfurt will be aware that they could drop out of the top six this weekend if they are beaten, and Wolfsburg claims victory on Saturday.

In their previous four matches, Frankfurt has suffered two defeats, with those losses coming against direct opponents for a Champions League spot. Their most recent match came on March 19, as they were easily beaten away from home by Union Berlin.

The restart looks set to be crucial for Oliver Glasner’s side, as they can’t afford to lose any more ground on the teams in the top four places. But the Eintracht Frankfurt odds show them as favorites on Friday.

Bochum Facts To Know

The Bundesliga standings look a lot better from a Bochum perspective than they did a few months ago. The German side has been able to climb out of trouble over the past month, as they have picked up back-to-back wins. However, they aren’t safe from the threat of relegation just yet, as they remain just four points above the drop zone.

Bochum’s last two games have been crucial for their chances of survival this term, with the latest of those coming in the form of a 1-0 home win against RB Leipzig on March 18.

However, their away record this term should be considered before making Bundesliga predictions. Bochum has won just twice in 13 games on the road this term, while they have lost on eleven occasions, and have conceded a league-high of 35 goals.

Updates

Bochum will be without Danilo Soares, who serves his one-game suspension this week. Meanwhile, Cristian Gamboa will be missing until the middle of April.

Tuta will be missing for Frankfurt, as he serves a one-game suspension, while Almamy Toure and Jesper Lindstrom remain out with injury.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Bochum Betting Prediction

This looks like a testing Bundesliga fixture to make a Frankfurt vs Bochum prediction. The away side has been in solid form, but the international break has come at a bad time.

Bochum’s away form is a massive concern coming into this fixture, while Frankfurt will desperately need to get over the line in their hunt for a top-four finish.

The trends indicate that over 2.5 goals is a solid bet, while we expect the hosts to maintain the dominant home record in this fixture since 2009.

• Pick 1: Over 2.5 Goals (-138)
• Pick 2: Eintracht Frankfurt (-188)
