Wins have been hard to come by over the opening months of the season for Eintracht Frankfurt, but they will be chasing a victory this weekend to enhance their European challenge when they travel to Hoffenheim.
Bundesliga Preview
Two of the main contenders for a European spot in the Bundesliga this term will lock horns on Saturday, as Eintracht Frankfurt travel to Hoffenheim. The hosts come into this fixture in a solid position in the league standings, as they currently sit fifth.
They have made a strong start to the new season after winning five of their opening seven matches this term, while they have suffered just two defeats. A victory for Hoffenheim this weekend could see them end the round as high as second in the standings. Hoffenheim have already picked up 15 points this season, marking their best start to a season in the Bundesliga in their history. In fact, they have won more frequently over their opening seven matches this term as they did in the first half of last season.
Eintracht Frankfurt have been short of victories in recent weeks, as they have landed just two wins in their opening seven matches this term. Despite that, they still sit seventh in the standings at present. They have been difficult to beat over the opening months of the campaign, as they have suffered just a single defeat.
Frankfurt’s defence has been their standout stat this term, as they have allowed a league-low of five goals in seven matches. That marks their best defensive start to a new season in over 30 years. But, they have struggled for victories on the road in 2023, as they are winless in 14 away matches since a 2-1 win against Augsburg in November 2022.
Hoffenheim vs Eintracht Frankfurt Head to Head
Hoffenheim have won each of their last two home matches against Frankfurt. That marks the first time Bundesliga history that the hosts have won back-to-back matches against their rivals. Frankfurt had won each of the last three before the start of this run.
Hoffenheim vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction
Frankfurt have been a challenging team to beat this season, but it could be worth taking a chance on Hoffenheim this weekend. Frankfurt’s poor record on the road could be the damning factor, while Hoffenheim will be full of confidence after making their best ever start to the top-flight.
