RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt will clash at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday in what is arguably the game of the weekend in the Bundesliga, with both sides pushing for Champions League qualification. The hosts are the first side outside the Champions League spots, in fifth place with 39 points in 21 matches, just one point behind Freiburg in fourth and four off the three sides tied at the top of the league. Leipzig put on a strong display in the last match, beating Wolfsburg 3-0, which was their third win in their last six matches, along with two draws and a loss. Leipzig’s strength has been their home form this season, where they’ve only conceded one defeat in eleven matches at the Red Bull Arena, along with seven wins and two draws. This won’t be an easy fixture for the hosts, but they will be confident that they can take something away from this match.

Eintracht Frankfurt has proven to be a difficult opponent to overcome in this fixture over recent seasons, having not tasted defeat by Leipzig in their last six encounters. The visitors have slipped to sixth place in the Bundesliga, having been in the top four for a large part of the season, and are currently just one point behind their opponents. Over their last six matches, Eintracht Frankfurt has an identical record to their opponents (W3, D2, L1). However, their record on the road of late has dropped off, with no wins coming in their last four matches away fixtures. Eintracht Frankfurt won the reverse fixture in emphatic fashion, 4-0, and they will be hoping they can complete the double over this opponent, though it may be more difficult this time around.
