There are several games to look forward to in the German Bundesliga on Saturday afternoon including the meeting between Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig.
The match will take place at the Commerzbank-Arena with the hosts beginning the weekend sitting in 11th place on 21 points, some 10 points adrift of the European qualifying places. RB Leipzig on the other hand are enjoying a great season and come into the match top of the table with 40 points, 4 points clear of second place Bayern Munich.
Eintracht Frankfurt picked up an important victory away against Hoffenheim last weekend as the Bundesliga resumed following a winter break. Prior to the winter break, Eintracht Frankfurt were on a poor run of form which saw them fail to win in 7 Bundesliga matches. The only point they managed to pick up came at home in a 2-2 draw against Hertha Berlin and they lost the other 6 games.
Trends show Eintracht Frankfurt have failed to win any of their last 3 home Bundesliga games. They lost 2-0 against Wolfsburg and 4-2 against Koln, with the draw against Hertha Berlin sandwiched in between.
Eintracht Frankfurt have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 15 matches in all competitions. In each of their last 9 home games, Eintracht Frankfurt have seen both teams score in 7 and they have clearly had an issue in defence.

RB Leipzig returned to action last weekend with a 3-1 home victory over Union Berlin. That result means RB Leipzig are undefeated in their last 13 matches in all competitions and they have won 10 of those games. In the Bundesliga, RB Leipzig have won 8 of their last 9 matches, only dropping points once in a 3-3 draw at Borussia Dortmund.
Away form shows 4 games undefeated for RB Leipzig and prior to the draw against Borussia Dortmund they beat Hertha Berlin, Paderborn and Fortuna Dusseldorf. RB Leipzig have scored 3 or more goals in each of their last 4 away Bundesliga matches and both teams have scored in 16 of their last 20 away games in all competitions.
You must go back 10 Bundesliga games to find the last time RB Leipzig failed to score 3 or more goals, which is an incredible record.
Looking ahead to the team news and Eintracht Frankfurt are without the injured duo of Gelson Fernandes and Lucas Marset. They also have doubts over Sahverdi Cetin, Daichi Kamada, Marco Russ and Nils Stendera.
RB Leipzig are definitely without Ibrahima Konaté, Kevin Kampl and Will Orban. Emil Forsberg and Matheus Cunha are rated as doubtful.
Given the form of both teams it wouldn't be a surprise to see each of them score goals in this game. However, RB Leipzig are on a tremendous run at the moment and should come through to win this game and possibly maintain their record by scoring at least 3 goals.
