Eintracht Frankfurt vs Bochum Prediction & Betting Tips (10 February)

As is often the case, Eintracht Frankfurt finds itself in a position to be able to aim for a European place this year. The Diva Capricieuse is in 6th position in the ranking and is therefore virtually qualified in the Conference League. A competition that she already plays and where she faces Union Saint Gilloise next week in the first leg of the play-offs. Well back in competition after the winter break, the Eagles had won 2 wins in 3 matches played against Leipzig 0-1, Darmstadt 2-2 and Mainz 1-0. But last Saturday, they missed their point by losing to low-ranked Cologne 2-0.

Following this defeat, Frankfurt is now 5 points behind 5th place and 6 in the top 4. Bochum, for its part, has much more modest ambitions than that of its opponent of the day and this team would happily be content with 'a rather quiet situation in the coming months. This is on the way for the moment for the VfL which is certainly only in 14th position but which has a fairly good lead of 6 points over the jump-off. After knocking out Stuttgart 1-0, Thomas Leitsch's men were beaten by Dortmund 3-1 then they were held to a draw last week by Augsburg at the very end of the match 1-1.

Both expelled during the trip to Cologne last week, the French defender Nkounkou and the important Tuta will obviously be suspended for this poster. Otherwise, defender Pacho makes his return as does top scorer, Marmoush (7 goals), who returned from the CAN. He will undoubtedly be accompanied by the young Knauff (5 goals) and may be in competition with Hugo Ekitike who arrived on loan from PSG and who rather convinced during his first minutes played last week.

Midfielder van de Beek (Man U), striker Kalajdzic (Wolverhampton) and promising Bahoya (Angers) also joined the squad during the winter transfer window.
