THE PREDICTION
Eintracht Frankfurt continued their brilliant form with a 3-1 win at home to Hertha last Saturday, their sixth victory in seven Bundesliga games. The fact that Luka Jovic has not started since returning to the club on loan, despite scoring three goals in four substitute appearances, speaks volumes for the strength of the squad and in particular the form of top scorer Andre Silva, who took his tally to 16 last weekend. The Eagles have also shown their fighting qualities, coming from behind to get a result nine times this season - a league best. They did just that against Hertha and also in their previous meeting with Hoffenheim, winning 2-1. Games involving these two are normally close contests, and normally produce goals too, with both teams scoring in six of their last seven encounters. Frankfurt have drawn a blank just once this season, while Hoffenheim have their own prolific frontman in 13-goal Andrej Kramaric, so goals are all but guaranteed again.
