Eintracht Frankfurt preview: Fun Frankfurt
In their 21 matches in the Bundesliga in the 2025/26 campaign, there have been a combined total of 87 goals. In their eight matches in the UEFA Champions League, there was a combined total of 31 goals with their two cup games having seven goals scored in them.
Albert Riera has replaced Dino Toppmoller to try and harness that entertainment value while adding a bit more efficiency and effectiveness. His era began with a 1-1 draw against Union Berlin in the German capital city last weekend.
Borussia Monchengladbach preview: Poor Gladbach
They now face a Borussia Monchengladbach side that, under the management of Eugen Polanski, had started the season quite well but they have since drifted down the table and towards the Bundesliga relegation battle.
Gladbach come into this one on the back of a 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen last weekend, extending their current winless run of form to five matches, with just one victory in their last eight. They begin the match day just three points above the bottom three.
Eintracht Frankfurt team news: Hojlund suspended

Borussia Monchengladbach team news: Diks suspended
Versatile defender Kevin Diks is missing through suspension for the visitors this week, while Tim Kleindienst is a doubt, alongside Gio Reyna, as he tries to work himself back to full fitness.
Predicted XI (3-4-1-2): Nicolas; Sander, Elvedi, Takai; Scally, Castrop, Engelhardt, Reitz, Ullrich; Machino; Honorat, Tabakovic
Unavailable: Diks (Suspended), Ngoumou (Injured), Hack (Injured)
Questionable: Reyna (Injured), Kleindienst (Injured)
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Monchengladbach prediction
Albert Riera is expected to lead to an improvement in Frankfurt's fortunes and general consistency but their 1-1 draw with Union means that they are now winless in nine matches across all competitions. Borussia Monchengladbach will be expected to at least exploit some of the defensive weakness of Frankfurt, even with the appointment of Albert Riera and their own deficiencies, albeit the hosts do remain favourites for this one.
