Borussia M'gladbach - Eintracht Frankfurt betting tips and odds

Borussia M'gladbach should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, Eintracht Frankfurt can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, Eintracht Frankfurt would need to play their best to have a hope of winning. That said, even a draw would be a positive outcome, and all three results are quite possible.

Borussia M. played at Wolfsburg in the previous round and walked away with a single point won in a 2:2 draw after a prolonged stalemate throughout the game’s runtime. Neither side is particularly happy with that match - Borussia M'Gladbach had favourable betting odds while their opponents were playing at home.

Eintracht’s previous outing was quite exciting. They snagged a 5:1 victory In a home game against Bayer Leverkusen, who were considered somewhat stronger going in. The fact that they were in the lead already during half-time makes the triumph even more surprising.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

The away team’s previous three away games left a lot to be desired when it comes to how they perform defensively. Over 5 conceded goals in just 3 matches is never a good look, even if you’re playing as visitors.

The visitors are not very likely to earn the 6 points they need to take the leading spot on the table. They’re heavily outclassed in this showdown, and even a draw could be considered a success for them. That said, the season is still in a relatively early stage, so there’s no telling how the standings will change before the end.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Christoph Kramer, Florian Neuhaus, Hannes Wolf, Ko Itakura. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Makoto Hasebe, Ansgar Knauff, Jérôme Onguene, Buta, Luca Pellegrini. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.57, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
