SpVgg Greuther Fürth vs. Eintracht Frankfurt
At the end of the 11th matchday of the Bundesliga, the crisis duel between SpVgg Greuther Fürth and SG Eintracht Frankfurt will take place at the Sportpark Ronhof in Fürth. Kick-off is on Sunday evening at 7:30 pm.
Statistically, it is not only a crisis duel, but also the duel between two one-man armies. Filip Kostic has been involved in 60 percent of SGE goals in the Bundesliga so far, Branimir Hrgota in 57 percent of Fürth’s goals – no other player in the league has such a high percentage. However, this is also primarily due to the fact that both teams are not really getting much going offensively yet. In our Fürth vs. Frankfurt betting tips, you can read who we think has the advantage in the direct clash and what predictions we would make for this match.

Fürth -Frankfurt Tip
Though the teams are currently only four places apart in the table, they are already a proud eight points apart. While Eintracht could already collect nine points in what has been a disappointing season so far, the promoted team from Fürth has only managed to pick up a single point. The Franconians will presumably have already written off the possibility of staying in the relegation zone. With a win against Frankfurt, the gap to the relegation zone could be reduced to five points. The SGE could move up to 13th place with a three-point win.
Fürth Form & Balance Check
For the promoted Greuther Fürth, the losing streak continued on the last matchday in Freiburg. At the still unbeaten Sport-Club, the SpVgg deserved to be beaten 3:1. After the 1:1 against Bielefeld on matchday 2, it was already the eighth defeat in a row. With only one point after ten matchdays, the cloverleaf even equalled the negative Bundesliga record of 1. FC Saarbrücken from the premiere season of 1963/64. Stefan Leitl’s team had to admit to themselves earlier than expected that it will most likely not be possible to keep the team in the relegation zone due to the qualitative disadvantages.
Ends the bankruptcy series against Frankfurt?
Despite this, the players naturally don’t want to go without a fight and enjoy every minute in the German top flight. After all, for some of them it will be their last season in the Bundesliga. On the coming matchday against Frankfurt, the hosts also sense a chance to finally keep something tangible at home. Eintracht have only managed one win themselves so far this season and were still in Europa League action a few days ago. In the home games, the Fürth team has not performed too badly so far. In addition to home defeats against Bayern (1:3) and Wolfsburg (0:2), there was a narrow 0:1 defeat against Bochum and the only point gained against Arminia Bielefeld (1:1).
Fürth facts & Analysis
– 1 point from 10 games
– Last lost 3:1 in Freiburg
– Scored exactly once in 7 of 10 games
– Last win against Frankfurt in 2004
Frankfurt Form & Balance Check
The Eintracht from Frankfurt has still not really arrived in the 21/22 season. In the current season, the SGE has won only once so far, which at this point has only happened once before in the 1983/84 season. It remains a mystery why the Adler managed their only victory at the Allianz Arena at the seemingly overpowering FC Bayern (1:2). Apart from this success, there have been six draws and three defeats. On the last matchday, Frankfurt at least managed to avoid their third defeat in a row against RB Leipzig. 35th-minute goal by Yusuff Poulsen was equalised by Frankfurt centre-back Tuta seconds before the final whistle.
Another face in the Europa League
At home, it was already the fourth draw in the fifth game. The team undoubtedly has quality, but apparently needs a little more time than expected to bring it onto the pitch as a unit. After all, the Eagles are on course for the last 16 in the Europa League. Last Thursday, the Eagles won against Olympiakos Piraeus (1:2) for the second time in a row. On this day, too, Oliver Glasner’s eleven benefited from a late goal. Jens Petter Hauge scored the 1:2 winner only in the first minute of injury time. With ten points after four games, progress should now only be a formality. With a win in Fürth, the positive trend reversal should now also be initiated in the Bundesliga.
Frankfurt Facts & Analysis
9 points from 10 games
– Last played 1:1 against Leipzig
– None of the last 5 duels with Fürth lost
– In 1st place in the EL with 10 points from 4 games
Predicted line-up – last update on 5 November 2021
On the side of the hosts, the only question is whether Green or Tillmann and whether Griesbeck or Christiansen will play. We expect the former options. SpVgg still have to do without their players Abiama, Bauer, Burchert, Dudziak and Seufert who are ill with Covid-19. Also missing are Hoogma (partial tear of the medial knee ligament), Jung (meniscus injury), Kehr (cruciate ligament injury), Ngankam (cruciate ligament tear), Nielsen (ankle injury), Torlak (patella tendon irritation) and Viergever (torn ankle ligament).
Many positions are open at Eintracht. Due to the English week, there could be rotations. Kostic’s ability to play is still questionable. Instead of Hauge and Borre, Lindström and/or Lammers could also play. On the right wing we expect Barkok, but Durm or Touré could play there. Lenz (muscular problems) and Paciencia (muscular injury) will have to miss the game.
