Eintracht Frankfurt vs RB Leipzig Preview and Team News

Eintracht Frankfurt News

Frankfurt’s Europa League run came to an end after losing 0-1 to Tottenham, thanks to Solanke’s converted penalty. In the Bundesliga, Eintracht sit 3rd with 52 points, twenty points behind Bayern Munich. They’ve only been defeated once in the last five matches, a 2-0 loss to Werder Bremen. 

Frankfurt’s first half of the season was more successful, a downfall in performance that can be attributed to one man: Omar Marmoush.

The Egyptian forward had been among the best strikers of the league before joining Manchester City in the Winter transfer window. It’s no surprise that Eintracht have struggled to replace his goal output, which they relied on during their counter-attacks. 

Mario Götze, Kaua, and Eric Ebimbe will be sidelined due to injuries. Igor Matanović is recovering from illness and could also feature.

RB Leipzig Team News

RB Leipzig’s DFB-Pokal journey came to an end as Stuttgart caught them off guard (3-1). It was an even match, but the rivals were more conclusive in the final third, which led to their victory. 

The RB club now sit fourth in the Bundesliga, only three points behind Eintracht Frankfurt. A defeat or a draw could jeopardize Leipzig’s Champions League qualification, with 5th-placed Freiburg registering 48 points, one less than this weekend’s guests.

RB Leipzig goalkeeper Péter Gulacsi has expressed his desire to continue at the club despite his advanced age (34), with his current contract expiring in 2026. His future with the squad is up in the air following the appointment of head coach Zsolt Löw less than a month ago. 

Antonio Nusa, Benjamin Henrichs, David Raum, Péter Gulacsi, Willi Orban, and Xaver Schlager are out with injuries.

RB Leipzig vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction

• Prediction: Draw
• Odds: 3.94 (22Bet)
• Score Prediction: Eintracht Frankfurt 1-1 RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig could win on Saturday as they’ll host the match, but several key injuries make a victory challenging. The absences of Orban and Gulacsi have forced Löw to reshape his backline. His arrival also means a new approach, which usually requires time for the team to adapt.

Although Eintracht Frankfurt lost Marmoush, they have in Ekitike and Openda a fantastic double-striker pairing. It’s likely to be just as effective against a squad having just changed coaches. With both sides playing for Champions League spots, neither will want to take too many risks.

RB Leipzig vs Eintracht Frankfurt Betting Tip

• Pick: Hugo Ekitike to score
• Odds: 2.2 (22Bet)

Ekitike was already impressive before Marmoush’s exit, and has since developed at sonic speed. The striker combines well with others, thanks to his pace, but even more so due to his high technical level. 

He’s been lauded as one of the best promising strikers of the season. With Orban out of the equation, he’ll profit from a defense without its most important player, which should lead him to a goal.
