Eintracht Frankfurt vs. SpVgg Greuther Fürth
Eintracht Frankfurt want to continue climbing up the table in the Bundesliga. After two wins in a row, coach Oliver Glasner’s team only played to a 0-0 draw in Leipzig before heading into the international break. The SGE is only two points behind 7th place in the table, which entitles them to participate in the Conference League. The upcoming opponent must be a must-win for Frankfurt if the Adler want to live up to their claims to international business.
Greuther Fürth is still bottom of the Bundesliga. The cloverleaf is currently a full eleven points behind the relegation place. The mission to stay in the league is likely to fail. Coach Stefan Leitl’s team has been waiting five games for the next three points. Giving up is not an option, however, which is why Fürth would also like to take something tangible with them to Frankfurt. Whether the cloverleaf succeeds in this, you can read in our Frankfurt – Fürth betting tip.

Frankfurt Form & Balance Check
Eintracht Frankfurt ended their brief period of weakness of three defeats in a row with a clear and deserved 4:1 away win in Berlin at Hertha BSC. That this success was no flash in the pan was confirmed by the Eagles in their last home match against VfL Bochum. The SGE won 2-1 and thus regained its usual winning mentality. Before the international break, Frankfurt had to face the Bundesliga’s most in-form team. But Leipzig also failed to defeat the SGE. With a 0-0 draw, Frankfurt picked up another point in their race to catch up with the international places in the table. Currently, Eintracht is in 8th place in the table with 38 points.
Home strength hardly exists
After Eintracht Frankfurt had grown into one of the six best teams in the Bundesliga in recent years due to their own home strength, the SGE lacks this strength this season. Although coach Glasner’s team won the last home match against Bochum, they are only 15th in the home table. From 13 home games, the SGE only picked up 16 points. Before the victory over Bochum, Frankfurt lost four home games in a row.
Frankfurt facts & analysis
– Frankfurt are in 8th place in the table with 38 points.
– Eintracht are unbeaten for 3 games in a row.
– 2 of last 3 games won by SGE.
Fürth form & balance check
Greuther Fürth carry the red lantern in the Bundesliga with 15 points. Coach Leitl’s team currently has to make up eleven points to reach the relegation zone. But the current performances of the Kleeblätter do not suggest that the promoted team will succeed in its mission to stay in the relegation zone. Since the 2-1 home victory over Hertha, Fürth has been waiting for its fourth win of the season. Before the international break, Fürth took a point from Freiburg with a 0:0 draw.
Have conceded 70 goals
Greuther Fürth have already conceded 70 goals in 27 games this season. With only 24 goals of their own, the promoted team has the second-weakest offence in the Bundesliga. Therefore, the cloverleaf is threatened with a real fiasco if they cannot build on their defensive leadership in Freiburg. When Tasmania Berlin were relegated in the 1965/66 season, they set the negative record for the most goals conceded with 108. With 2.6 goals conceded on average, Fürth would end the season with 88.2 goals conceded with seven matches still to play.
Fürth facts & analysis
– Fürth are bottom of the table with 15 points.
– Fürth have not won for 5 games in a row.
– With 70 goals conceded, Fürth have the worst defence.
Predicted line-up – last update on 1 April 2022
Eintracht Frankfurt continues to impress with attacking football, which the SGE interprets primarily via the two wing positions. With Kostic, coach Glasner’s team has one of the best wing players in the Bundesliga, who serves his teammates in the penalty area with dribbles and crosses. The same applies to Knauff, who fits perfectly into the Frankfurt system after his winter loan to the Main. Systematically, the SBU plays a 3-4-2-1 when in possession of the ball. When the opponent has possession, the wingers withdraw and reinforce the defence, which is why Eintracht can be seen in a 5-3-2 system. Martin Hinteregger, however, is missing due to yellow card suspension. For him
Greuther Fürth surprised with their line-up on the last matchday. Coach Leitl deviated from the well-rehearsed 4-1-2-1-2 system and played a defensive 5-3-2 system. The goal was to strengthen the defence and to take away the opponents’ desire to play football. The 0-0 final result proved the promoted team right. It is doubtful whether Stefan Leitl will again play a defensive alignment. Frankfurt know how to deal with enormous ball possession and will thus create even more chances.
