THE PREDICTION
These two sides return from the Bundesliga winter break sitting tucked inside the top six of the table. RB Leipzig are already nine points adrift of Bayer Leverkusen at the top-of-the-table but have six points for breathing room between themselves and the teams outside of the top four and the UEFA Champions League qualifying spots. Eintracht Frankfurt headed into the break on the back of a dramatic 2-1 defeat of Borussia Monchengladbach. They trailed before Max Wober was sent off in the 88th minute and then full-back Aurelio Buta scored a second-half stoppage-time brace. A thrilling victory but not necessarily a recipe for sustained success and Leipzig, especially at the Red Bull Arena, are favourites for this one.
TIP: RB LEIPZIG TO WIN
