Eintracht Frankfurt vs TSG 1899 Hoffenheim: Match Prediction
The club's sporting director cited Eintracht Frankfurt's defensive problems as the main reason for Dino Toppmöller's dismissal. During the season the head coach failed to make improvements in this aspect of play. The team has already conceded 39 goals, although last season the figure for the whole championship was only slightly higher – 46. All three of the club's clean sheets were at home, but they were achieved only against opponents fighting relegation. At the same time the home side's attack remains at a high level, and in the last three rounds it has exploded – 8 goals scored.
TSG 1899 Hoffenheim have noticeably improved defensively compared with last season. However, when it comes to away matches the picture is less rosy. Hoffenheim conceded in 11 of their last 13 Bundesliga away matches. The club also scored in 10 games over that span, and in seven cases it hit the opponent's net at least twice.
Bookmakers give a small odd for an exchange of goals in this match, which has occurred in 12 consecutive head-to-head Bundesliga meetings between the teams. Considering the current form of the opponents, it is possible to see more than one goal from each side.
Prediction: Both teams to score Over 1.5 goals
* The starting lineup shown for each team is from its previous match in this competition.
