Eintracht Frankfurt will have another chance to climb into the Bundesliga top four when they take on Bochum. With Die Unabsteigbaren currently at the bottom of the table, this match should be a straightforward victory for Die Adler. Here’s our preview and prediction for the encounter.
Frankfurt is enjoying a three-match unbeaten streak, most recently defeating Borussia Monchengladbach at home in the DFB Pokal. They have only one loss in their last 11 games across all competitions, which makes them the clear favorites.
However, it’s worth noting that Frankfurt has managed just two clean sheets in 13 matches this season.
Bochum, having lost to Jahn Regensburg in the DFB Pokal at the start of the season, should have recognized the warning signs but have continued to struggle. After eight Bundesliga matches, they find themselves at the bottom of the standings, still searching for their first win and with only one point from a possible 24. Given their current form, away fans should be worried, as the team is already seven points away from safety.
The only positive for Bochum is that they have scored in five of their last six league matches, although they were recently thrashed 5-0 by Bayern Munich.
