The last few seasons have been something of a rollercoaster in the Bundesliga for Eintracht Frankfurt with a lot of ups and downs. At the moment Adi Hutter’s team are enjoying a high point, as the Eagles head into Sunday afternoon’s home match with Hertha Berlin in good form.
A seven-game unbeaten run has powered Frankfurt into the European qualification spots in the Bundesliga. On current form, a challenge for the Champions League spots is possible, especially as the home side are now just two points adrift of fourth-place Wolfsburg in the battle for the top-four places.
One of the biggest reasons for Eintracht Frankfurt’s recent league form has been their lethal finishing, as the Eagles have now scored at least two goals in their previous seven league outings.
Portuguese forward Andre Silva has been outstanding in front of goal this season, scoring 14 goals in his 17 league appearances this season in the German top-flight.
Only Bayern Munich’s goal machine Robert Lewandowski has more goals than the former AC Milan star in the Bundesliga.
While Eintracht Frankfurt dream of Champions League football next season, Hertha Berlin are looking nervously over their shoulders at the relegation zone. The club from the capital will hope that the return of former favourite Pal Dardai as the club's coach will revive the team.
A fourth straight game without a win resulting in a 4-1 home defeat by Werder Bremen last time out was enough to see-off then-boss Bruno Labbadia. The recent poor run of results means that Hertha are now just two above the relegation play-off spot.
The visitors have struggled for both points and goals away from home of late in the German top-flight, as they failed to win in five Bundesliga games on their travels while scoring just two goals in the five outings.
Forebet predicts that Eintracht Frankfurt will continue their seemingly relentless form with a victory in a low-scoring encounter.
