Command Analysis

Eintracht Frankfurt

Current form
Eintracht clearly needed a break, which the team got. Let us recall that at the end of last year there was a serious decline and a winless streak of five matches, taking into account all tournaments, with losses recorded in four cases. After a short break, the Eagles played two successful matches in the Bundesliga, first winning away with a minimal score of 1:0 against St. Pauli, and then leaving no chance at home to Freiburg (4:1). In these matches, the club top scorer Marmouch, who is close to moving to Manchester City, scored one goal each. It is hard to imagine how Eintracht will play in the future without the Egyptian, who has 15 goals and 9 accurate passes in the Bundesliga this season.
In the tournament table, the eagles are in third place on the eve of the start of the 18th round. The gap from their closest pursuer, Leipzig, is three points, and Bayer is ahead by five points. It should be noted that Dino Topmöller charges have played eight matches in the championship on their home field, in which they scored 17 points. Eintracht suffered their only defeat at home this season in December against Mainz with a score of 1:3. At the same time, the team scored 23 goals on their home arena, only Bayern has a better result - 27 goals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Amenda and Baoyia are both out with injuries, with Nkunku questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- Eintracht won in the first half in only one of five matches
- The Eagles are unbeaten in eight of their previous nine home matches in the Bundesliga – five wins and three draws
- Five of Eintracht last six home league games have seen at least four goals scored
- Eintracht have scored first-half goals in six of their last eight home games
Tentative line-up: Trapp - Collins, Koch, Theate - Shkiri - Christensen, Larsson, Götze, Brown - Marmus, Ekitike.

Borussia Dortmund

Current form
Unlike their upcoming opponent, the break clearly did not do Borussia any good. After the break, Dortmund lost to Bayer (2:3), which did not cause much surprise. However, in the next away game there was a 2:4 defeat to one of the outsiders, Holstein. Here, many questions arose about the team, which was losing 0:3 at the end of the first 45 minutes, won back two goals, but could not even save a draw. The opponent played the rest of the match with ten men, but managed to score a fourth goal at the end.
Despite the setbacks, Nuri Sahin is still in his post, he still has a vote of confidence, although it is unlikely to be too big. After 17 rounds, his team is in tenth place in the table and risks being left without European Cups next season. At the moment, the gap from sixth-placed Mainz is three points, and five points to the Champions League zone. Of course, there is still a decent part of the season ahead, but if the game and results are not stabilized in the near future, then it is unlikely that anything serious can be expected.
The upcoming game is troubling because Borussia have only scored five points away from home since the start of the Bundesliga season. The Bumblebees have only one away win, which they managed to achieve against Wolfsburg with a score of 3:1. At the same time, it should be noted that Eintracht is a convenient opponent for Dortmund - in seven previous face-to-face encounters they have not lost to the Eagles, and in six cases they have won, twice on the road.
Among the transfers at Borussia, we note the departure of Malen. The footballer will now defend the colors of Aston Villa.
Disqualifications and injuries
Süle will be out due to injury. Gross will serve a suspension. Adeyemi appearance is in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- In three of the last five matches, Borussia have not lost in the first half
- Borussia have not won in 9 of their last 10 away matches in the Bundesliga
- At least three goals have been scored in six of the Bumblebees' last seven away league matches
Estimated line-up: Kobel - Couto, Anton, Schlotterbeck, Bancebaini - Reina, Nmecha, Brandt - Bayer, Guirassy, Gittens.

1.89Tip and bets
In the upcoming match, many things point to a possible victory for the hosts, who have won two matches after the break, are higher in the standings, and Marmus is in excellent shape. Borussia has two unsuccessful matches in a row, including a defeat to Holstein, who are in the group of outsiders. However, we would not immediately write off the guests. In terms of their potential and composition, the Bumblebees are definitely not weaker than the Eagles, and more than once during the season they have demonstrated the ability to get out of the most difficult situations. Of course, we cannot ignore the fact that Borussia has not lost to the upcoming opponent in seven head-to-head meetings in a row. We suggest taking a few risks and betting on the underdog with a safety net in the form of a zero handicap .
Our prediction is Borussia victory with an Asian handicap (0) at odds of 2.18
Bet on total
We expect a bright and productive game, given the attacking potential of the opponents and the statistics of head-to-head encounters. Only one of the eight previous head-to-head encounters resulted in fewer than three goals.
The second bet is total over three goals with odds of 1.72
Bet on the exact score
It is unlikely that the visitors will win by more than one goal. There is no significant difference in class between the opponents, and for Borussia the most important thing now is to simply win. If they manage to take the lead, then most likely the visitors will try to hold on to the advantage they have gained.
Prediction: Borussia win by one goal with odds of 5.10
