Eintracht Frankfurt vs RB Leipzig Prediction

The opportunity to pull level on points with their opponents is a massive one here for RB Leipzig and should see them deploy an attacking style of play as a result, despite being away from home against such dangerous opposition in Eintracht Frankfurt. A draw suits the hosts more, but in front of their own fans, they’ll be looking to gain all three.

Expect RB Leipzig to try and really take the game to Eintracht, which could lead to an open contest and potentially an end-to-end one with chances not hard to come by. With that in mind, backing both teams to score should be seriously considered along with over 2.5 goals.
