Eintracht Frankfurt remain unbeaten after three rounds of fixtures this term, but they will need to raise their performance levels if they are to challenge for a European spot. They return to action following the international break on Saturday, as they travel to Bochum.
Bundesliga Preview
It has been a largely positive start to the new season for Eintracht Frankfurt, but they will need to raise their performance levels if they are to challenge for a European finish this season. They remain unbeaten after three rounds of fixtures, but they have been held to draws in each of their last two matches. A return to winning ways is required this weekend.
Their most recent draw was picked up before the international break, as they played out a tie against FC Köln. In truth, they were fortunate to save themselves in that fixture, as they were outplayed from the first minute. However, they rescued a point in the closing stages, as Niels Nkounkou scored the equalising goal with just three minutes remaining.
Bochum will have the home field advantage this weekend, as they continue their search for a first league win of the new season. They come into this fixture after drawing each of their previous two, which will be considered an improvement after losing on the opening day of the Bundesliga season.
Their most recent draw was picked up against Augsburg before the international break. They showed excellent character in that fixture, as they twice came from behind to secure a point, with Takuma Asano scoring on both occasions. However, they could have picked up maximum points if they weren’t so wasteful in front of goal.
Bochum vs Eintracht Frankfurt Head to Head
The previous meeting between these sides saw the points shared following a 1-1 draw in March. However, Bochum have won each of their previous two home matches against Frankfurt without conceding a goal, which includes a 3-0 win in this exact fixture in October of last year. Frankfurt’s last away win against Bochum came back in March 2010.
Bochum vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction
This may be a closer game than the odds suggest this weekend, as Frankfurt have been below the standard required despite remaining unbeaten. Therefore, we could see Bochum finally ending their wait for a first league win of the season on Saturday.
