Key Highlights

RB Leipzig’s Recent Bad Run of Results

Marco Rose and his men have suffered big losses in recent matches. They lost 2-1 at Dortmund in the Bundesliga before being hammered by Man City 7-0 at the Etihad Stadium. This followed this horrible disaster with a disappointing 1-0 defeat away to VfL Bochum. They will be looking to turn their form around starting with the home match against Mainz 05 on Saturday. The run of results has seen them leapfrogged by SC Freiburg and pushed to 5th on the table, one point behind Freiburg in fourth. The focus for Marco Rose will be to return to winning form and retain their consistency in the run-in to bolster their chances of finishing inside the top for in the Bundesliga.

Mainz 05’s Unbeaten Run

Mainz are unbeaten in 6 Bundesliga matches. They have won four and drawn twice in this run. Bo Svensson and his charges will look to maintain their good run of form when they travel to the Red bull Arena to face RB Leipzig on Saturday.  The focus will be on maintaining their compact approach and fluidity in attack. The balance between defense and offense has been good for Mainz, which has allowed them to go on a fantastic unbeaten run in the Bundesliga.

Injury Report

RB Leipzig

Marco Rose’s bid to help his side to climb back into the top four will be hindered by the injury-enforced absence of some of his key players. Goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi is still out with a cruciate ligament rupture, with the 32-year-old having missed 24 matches for Leipzig. Center-back Abdou Diallo is also missing with a knee problem. The 26-year-old defender has been sidelined for 12 matches this season. Attacker Christopher Nkunku has been hampered by injuries recently and his absence has affected the flow and potency of RB Leipzig’s attack. The 25-year-old Frenchman is nursing a torn muscle fiber and is a doubt for the visit of Mainz on Saturday. Marco Rose will also be without central midfielder Xaver Schlager (syndesmotic ligament tear) and goalkeeper Timo Schlieck (meniscal injury).

Mainz 05

Bo Svensson will be without three players in his selection for Saturday's trip to the Red Bull Arena. Center-forward Jonathan Burkardt will continue recovering from knee surgery and is thus unlikely to be available for selection in the trip to RB Leipzig. The 22-year-old has been sidelined for 11 matches this season. Another center-forward, Marlon Mustapha, is also likely to be unavailable for the Leipzig match with an illness. The 21-year-old has missed 4 matches since February 23, 2023. Right winger Brajan Gruda is also a doubt for the trip to the Red Bull Arena, with the 18-year-old facing an unknown injury since March 4, 2023. [banner][/banner]

It promises to be an exciting end to the season in the Bundesliga. Eintracht Frankfurt will be looking to get back on track this weekend, as they have gone four without a victory. They will have home advantage on Friday evening against Bochum.

     

Bundesliga Preview 

This could be a crucial fixture for Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga this weekend, as they look to get their season back on track following the international break. Frankfurt comes into this fixture sitting sixth in the standings, but they could drop out of the European spots if they are beaten on Friday, and results go against them across the weekend.

Frankfurt certainly need to respond after a poor run of form before the international break, as they failed to win in four matches. That run of form has seen them go six points off the pace in the race for a Champions League spot. Their most recent loss was a damaging 2-0 defeat against Union Berlin, who remain one of their main rivals for a Champions League finish this term. 

The international break may have come at a bad time for Bochum, as they had just hit form. They had won each of their last two before the international break, which has seen them move four points above the relegation places. However, they could get dragged back into the scrap at the bottom of the standings if they fall to a 17th loss this season on Friday. 

No team in the Bundesliga has lost more regularly this term, while they also have the worst away record in the German top-flight in terms of goals conceded. However, they should come into this fixture in good spirits after their 1-0 win against RB Leipzig in their previous fixture. 

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Bochum Head to Head 

Five of the previous six matches between these sides in the Bundesliga has been won by the team playing at home. That includes a victory for Frankfurt in this exact fixture last season. However, Bochum comes into this match having won the reverse fixture 3-0 earlier this term. 

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Bochum Prediction 

Bochum’s away record appears to be the key trend to follow for this fixture on Friday. We expect a response from Frankfurt following their poor recent run of results, and we could see them recording a 3-1 home win.
