Leipzig
The victory in Matchday 13 against Holstein (2-0) ended Marco Rose's side's four-match winless streak in the Bundesliga (1 draw, 3 losses). The club is in 4th place in the league standings, with Wolfsburg trailing by 3 points. Notably, Leipzig has conceded only six goals at home in the 2024/25 Bundesliga season, with only Bayern and Union having better records.
- The club has not conceded more than one goal in 12 of their last 13 home matches in this tournament.
- The team has not lost in 12 of their last 13 home games in the league (8 wins, 4 draws).
- Leipzig has not scored more than one goal in 5 of their last 7 home matches in the Bundesliga.
Eintracht
In the last round, Dino Toppmöller's team drew 2-2 with Augsburg. This result ended Eintracht's four-match winning streak in this championship. Eintracht is in 2nd place in the Bundesliga standings, trailing the top spot by 6 points. Notably, the team has scored 33 goals in this Bundesliga campaign, second only to Bayern.
- Eintracht has not lost in 5 of their last 6 away matches in the league (4 wins, 1 draw).
- The team scored first in their last 6 away matches in this tournament.
- At least three goals have been scored in 5 of Eintracht's last 6 away games in the league.
Leipzig vs. Eintracht: Match Prediction
Eintracht plays open football in the 2024/25 Bundesliga. Both teams have scored in 7 of the club's last 9 league matches. Notably, during this period, they exchanged goals with the tournament leader Bayern (3-3) and the 2023/24 Bundesliga champion Bayer (1-2).
Leipzig also has no issues in attack. The club regularly finds the back of the net in the league – Marco Rose's side has scored in 8 of their last 9 matches in this tournament. However, the team's defense has not been impressive, conceding 9 goals in their last three Bundesliga games.
I expect that in the upcoming game against Eintracht, the hosts will not be able to keep a clean sheet, but they will manage to trouble the Frankfurt goalkeeper. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
