RB Leipzig vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction & Betting Tips (15 December)

After a very promising start to the season, this Leipzig team then experienced a huge slump in recent weeks. RasenBall Sport had in fact gone 4 games without a win in the Bundesliga, including 3 defeats against Dortmund 2-1, Hoffenheim 4-3 and Wolfsburg 1-5. Worse still, Marco Rose's men have had a series of poor performances in the Champions League where they have not taken a single point after the first 6 days and they are already eliminated after their new defeat against Aston Villa on Tuesday evening 2-3. However, things are going a little better for the Red Bulls on the national scene who outclassed... Eintracht Frankfurt in the German Cup last week 3-0 to get back on track.

They were then able to confirm by dismissing Holstein Kiel 0-2 to return to 4th place in the ranking. Eintracht Frankfurt, for its part, seemed to be walking on water for several weeks. The Capricious Diva had indeed collected successes, whether on the European scene where she occupied a place on the podium in the Europa League before going to Lyon on Thursday evening, or in the Bundesliga. Proof of this is that Hugo Ekitike's partners had scored 7 victories in a row in all competitions, including recent successes acquired in the league against Werder Bremen 1-0 and Heidenheimm 0-4. But the Eagles were cut down in mid-air by Leipzig in the German Cup 3-0 and they struggled to revive last weekend against Augsburg 2-2. Despite this, they still retain 2nd place in the standings, 6 points behind the leader, Bayern Munich.

Marco Rose must still take into account the absences of young defender Bitshiabu, winger Xavi Simons, Macedonian international Elmas, German international defender Raum, and Danish striker Poulsen. French defender Lukeba will also be missing for this game, as will replacement midfielder Ouedraogo. Fortunately for him, the RBL coach should be able to renew his confidence in the Belgian Openda (5 goals and 5 assists in the Bundesliga) who scored a goal in C1 this week, André Silva (1 goal) or in the Slovenian Sesko who scored his 4th goal in the league last week. Eintracht will still not be able to count on the return of replacement striker Amenda or that of the important midfielder Larsson.

However, there are still some very good people in this squad, notably Omar Marmoush. With 13 goals scored and 7 assists delivered in the league and 3 goals in C3, the Egyptian international is in the best form of his career. Former Parisian Hugo Ekitike (7 goals, 3 assists in the Bundesliga, 1 goal in C3) is not to be outdone, he who has found real sensations since his arrival in Germany.
