Eintracht
Frankfurt shared the points for the third consecutive Bundesliga match. Nevertheless, the draw against Monchengladbach (1-1) extended their unbeaten run in the league to six matches (3 wins, 3 draws). It's worth noting that Dino Toppmöller's side has scored in every game during this stretch. In the standings, Eintracht remains in third place, but their lead over the closest challenger has shrunk to three points.

Holstein Kiel
Marcel Rapp's side shared the spoils with Bochum (2-2) at home in the previous round.

Eintracht vs. Holstein Kiel: Match Prediction
Frankfurt has been impressive at home this season: Dino Toppmöller's side has avoided defeat in 9 of 10 matches (6 wins, 3 draws), even taking points from Bayern in a high-scoring encounter (3-3). Eintracht generally performs well in attack. Their scoring streak in the Bundesliga spans 20 matches, and at home, they have found the net in 14 consecutive games in this tournament. However, their defense lacks reliability, conceding in 6 of the last 8 league matches.
Holstein is yet to secure a win on the road. In only 3 of their 10 away games this season, Marcel Rapp's team has managed to snatch points. However, they have scored in all away matches, as well as conceded.
The first-round meeting between the clubs ended 4-2 in favor of Frankfurt. A similar result is quite possible this time. My prediction: 1X and BTTS – Yes
