Before the start of the 22nd matchday, let’s take a look at the table in the top flight of German football and see Eintracht from the Main in 9th place and with 31 points, the gap to an international place is only one point. The upcoming opponents from Wolfsburg have been able to gain a little breathing space in the relegation battle with their 4:1 victory over bottom side Fürth.

Frankfurt Form & Balance Check
The Eintracht from the Main started with a win after the two-week break. Coach Oliver Glasner’s team beat the Swabians from Stuttgart 3:2 last weekend. In a very entertaining match, the Hessians were able to secure the three points thanks mainly to double-poacher Hrustic. The Australian was the decisive player for Frankfurt with two goals. With the victory, Eintracht moved up to 9th place and the gap to a place in the international competition is now only one point. If they can now also win against the Wolves, the Adler would be right back in the thick of the action again.
Kostic back on board
Many Eintracht fans were worried that Kostic’s absence would be too much of a factor. His replacement Lenz did a really good job on the left side and now coach Glasner is faced with the dilemma of which of the two to start against Wolfsburg. Kostic returned to training at the beginning of the week after his flu-like effect. It will be important for the upcoming match that Eintracht displays the same efficiency and playfulness as in the victory over VfB. The Hessians are aware of their chance to make a big step forward in the table.
Frankfurt facts & analysis
– Last win with 3:2 against Stuttgart
– Stand in 9th place with 31 points
– Kostic is back on board
Wolfsburg form & balance check
The Wolves from Lower Saxony won the match against SpVgg from Fürth with 4:1. With this win, coach Florian Kohfeldt should be a bit more secure in the saddle again and with 24 points, the 4th placed team from last season could put a little space between them and the relegation places. Now a much more difficult task awaits the Lower Saxons in the form of Eintracht Frankfurt. As against Fürth, it will be important that the offensive is back to full strength. Max Kruse, in particular, should make the most of the opportunities that present themselves.
Wolfsburg want to go up
The season so far can be described as a total disappointment. Wolfsburg started with great ambitions and currently the only thing that counts is staying in the league. The Wolves’ fans will probably have to say goodbye to international football next season. Regardless of how the season turns out, everything will probably be turned inside out at VfL after the season is over anyway. Wolfsburg had youngster Vranckx to thank for their 4:1 win over Fürth, as he played a major role in VfL’s victory with his two goals.
Wolfsburg facts & analysis
– Last win 4:1 against Fürth
– New striker signed in Kruse
– Only 21 goals scored
Predicted line-up – last update on 10 February 2022
There will only be one change at Eintracht from the Main compared to the 3:2 against VfB Stuttgart. Kostic moves back to the left side for Lenz. Otherwise, coach Glasner will stick to his formation. We should not expect any changes at the upcoming opponents from Wolfsburg either.
