Match Prediction: Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Eintracht Frankfurt
Predicting the outcome of this match is challenging. Frankfurt holds a significant advantage in head-to-head meetings, but Gladbach has been impressive at home this season and will undoubtedly give their all to end an 8-match winless streak against Eintracht (3 draws, 5 losses). Scoring goals will be crucial to achieving this.
Borussia has netted 17 goals in their last seven home Bundesliga matches. However, they have only managed to keep clean sheets against Bochum and St. Pauli, two of the league's lowest-scoring teams.
Eintracht's scoring streak in the league has been ongoing since the second round. In the current championship, Dino Toppmöller's side ranks second only to Bayern Munich in xG. The team has also signed an experienced and prolific striker. However, the defense also needed reinforcement, as the club has conceded in 15 Bundesliga 2024/25 matches.
