Leipzig
Marco Rose's team has recorded two confident victories in the current German Cup campaign: first defeating the third-tier underdog Essen (4-1), and then overcoming St. Pauli (4-2). In the previous German Cup campaign, Leipzig stumbled at the Round of 32 stage, losing to Wolfsburg (0-1). However, it should be noted that they played with ten men for the last 30 minutes of that match.
- The club has scored at least two goals in regular time in their last 6 home games in the German Cup.
- At least one opponent failed to score in 90 minutes in 7 of Leipzig's last 10 matches in this tournament.
- The team has won in regular time in their last 10 German Cup matches at the Red Bull Arena.
Eintracht
In the first stage of the current German Cup campaign, Dino Toppmöller's side easily defeated Eintracht Braunschweig (4-1). In the Round of 32, despite an early red card, they managed to beat Borussia Mönchengladbach (2-1). It is worth mentioning that in the previous German Cup campaign, Eintracht ended their run at the Round of 16 stage, losing to Saarbrücken.
- The club has won in regular time in 6 of their last 7 away matches in the German Cup.
- At least one team failed to score in regular time in 6 of Eintracht's last 8 away games in this tournament.
- The club has scored at least two goals in regular time in 6 of their last 7 away matches in the German Cup.
Leipzig vs. Eintracht: Match Prediction
Leipzig does not sit back at the Red Bull Arena; they take the initiative. At least three goals have been scored in regular time in 4 of Leipzig's last 5 home games in the German Cup. In the Bundesliga, their matches average 2.8 goals per game.
Eintracht is not afraid to play open football in away matches – at least three goals have been scored in regular time in 10 of their last 14 away games in the German Cup. These goal-filled encounters have occurred against both top opponents – 1-2 against Bayern, 1-4 against Bayer, 3-2 against Stuttgart – and more modest clubs – 4-1 against Eintracht Braunschweig and 7-0 against Lokomotive Leipzig. Additionally, Eintracht is one of the highest-scoring teams on the road in the Bundesliga, with their away matches averaging 3.6 goals per game.
I believe the upcoming match will feature high-scoring football. My prediction: Total over 2.5 goals
