Match Prediction: Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Eintracht Frankfurt
The outcome of this match is difficult to predict. Frankfurt has a significant advantage in head-to-head encounters, but the Foals have been impressive at home this season and will surely 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 scored 17 goals in their last seven home Bundesliga matches. However, they have kept clean sheets only 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. This season, Dino Toppmöller's team ranks second only to Bayern in xG. Additionally, the team has signed an experienced and prolific forward. However, their defense also needed strengthening, as the club has conceded in 15 Bundesliga 2024/25 matches.
My prediction: Total over 2.5 goals
