Eintracht Frankfurt vs Leipzig Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga

Prediction published on 18/05/2024, 01:20  by Sridhar in Bundesliga Predictions

In pole position to clinch the sixth spot and with it the Europa League league phase for next year, Eintracht Frankfurt will host Leipzig in the last matchday of the Bundesliga season. This match at the Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt on Saturday will have the hosts start sixth with 46 points, while the visitors are fourth with 64 points. Eintracht have been in sixth almost all season long and need just one point to confirm that spot. They can qualify even with a loss, but would need Hoffenheim to not win or be able to cover the goal difference. There’s additional incentive to finish sixth, as that could open up a Champions League qualification spot for next season if Borussia Dortmund win the Champions League this year. Regardless, with only a win from their last eight league games, Eintracht aren’t in the best of form to make a dash for it.

Leipzig are confirmed to finish fourth irrespective of the result and have practically nothing left to play for. They come into this match unbeaten in 11 competitive matches, winning seven and drawing four. The lack of incentive in the league hasn’t stopped them from being a tough team to beat. The visitors are unbeaten ten league games, winning seven and drawing three, coming into the last round. They have already secured the Champions League football for a sixth year in a row, and need three points to equal their best ever Bundesliga points tally of 67. Their away form gives hope they can do that, as Leipzig have won four of their last five Bundesliga trips.
