On Saturday afternoon, Eintracht Frankfurt host Werder Bremen at the Deutsche Bank Park in Bundesliga, as both teams search for consistency.
Eintracht Frankfurt head into this clash on the back of a 5-0 hammering by reigning champions Bayern Munich. The draw ended an eight-game unbeaten run in the German top-flight for Adi Hutter’s side. The eight league games before the defeat against Bayern saw both teams score.
The home team will be hoping that the game against the European champions was just a blip and that they bounce straight back to winning ways.
A positive for Eintracht Frankfurt is their recent league form on home soil, as they are unbeaten in four games, having recorded three victories. The home side has also been pretty prolific at home in the Bundesliga of late, scoring at least two goals in eight of their previous 12 home outings. Both teams have also scored in their last four matches on home soil in the German top-flight.
Werder Bremen are unbeaten in four Bundesliga games, which by the standards of the last 12 months is certainly progress for Florian Kohfeldt’s team. A 1-1 home draw against Hoffenheim last time out means that the visitors have now drawn their last two league matches.
Werder’s league results have not been helped by a leaky defence, as they have now kept just one clean sheet in their previous 11 outings in the Bundesliga.
At the other end of the pitch, Nicklas Fullkrug has made a promising start to the campaign, scoring four times in five league appearances.
Perhaps surprisingly, Werder Bremen have been difficult to beat on their travels, as they have lost just once in their previous seven away games in the German top-flight.
Forebet predicts that this clash will produce an entertaining draw, which is likely to be enough to keep both teams in midtable.
