Frankfurt Form & Balance Check
After bringing the Europa League to Hesse last year, Eintracht Frankfurt even made it to the last 16 of the Champions League this year. Recently, Eintracht also reached the semi-finals of the DFB Cup against Union Berlin.
In the league, however, coach Oliver Glasner’s team got further and further into trouble. The Eagles have gone six games without a win in the Bundesliga and have only won one of their past eight matches. After Eintracht had spent the winter in fourth place, the SGE now finds itself in seventh. In the previous week, they also lost the match against Bayer Leverkusen with 1:3.
Frankfurter willing to switch
The attack of Eintracht Frankfurt is very strong this season. In the Bundesliga, the SGE has the fifth best offensive. In the first 27 games, the Hessians scored a strong 48 goals. Randal Kolo Muani in particular stands out from the ensemble in attack with twelve goals and twelve further assists.
These performances attracted the interest of many top European clubs in the French World Cup runner-up. A transfer in the summer is considered inevitable for Eintracht. In addition, the contracts of Ansgar Knauff, Evan N’Dicka and Daichi Kamada expire in the summer. In the case of the latter, it is now also clear that he will not extend his contract in the Main-Metropole.
Frankfurt facts & analysis
- Six home games in a row without defeat
- Currently in seventh place in the league
- In the semi-finals of the DFB Cup
Gladbach form & balance check
Borussia Mönchengladbach made a promising start to the season, with only one defeat in their first seven games and the goal of reaching Europe under coach Daniel Farke. However, as the season progressed, the performance of the Foals diminished. Currently, VfL are in tenth place, eight points behind sixth place.
In the second half of the season, things have not gone according to plan for the team from the Lower Rhine. Gladbach remained without a win in five consecutive Bundesliga matches. However, the Foals finally managed to turn things around in their last match. In the home match against Wolfsburg, Gladbach finally got the much-awaited three points. The team from the Lower Rhine won 2:0 and continues to hope for a place in the European Cup.
No consistency at Borussia-Park
The lack of consistency is undoubtedly the main obstacle for the Foals this season. So far, Gladbach have not managed to win two consecutive games in the Bundesliga. This should now finally change in the guest game in Frankfurt. The difference in performance between home and away matches is particularly striking.
While the Foals have already won eight games at Borussia-Park, Gladbach have only managed to win once away from home so far this Bundesliga season. The 4-1 win in Hoffenheim at the end of January is still the only away win.
