Eintracht Frankfurt
Eintracht Frankfurt ended 2021 with three wins in a row, but they are still winless in 2022. Their two games since the turn of the year ended in a 2-3 defeat to Borussia Dortmund and a 1-1 draw against Augsburg last weekend.
Eintracht Frankfurt sits at mid-table coming into this round, but a victory in this match could climb them up to the fourth spot in the Bundesliga.
So far Eintracht Frankfurt remained unbeaten in 7 of their 9 home games (3 wins, 4 draws), but they must improve their defending. They managed to keep a clean sheet just twice in those 9 home games they played.
Last weekend Eintracht Frankfurt played without three important players – attacking midfielder Filip Kostic (3 goals, 7 assists), defender Danny Da Costa, and goalkeeper Kevin Trapp, but are all expected back in the starting line-up for this game.
Arminia Bielefeld
Arminia Bielefeld are fighting hard to avoid the drop and their performances were all good in recent weeks. They are currently unbeaten in four matches, winning and drawing twice. However, they are still third from the bottom in the Bundesliga and chase points to keep close to the safe zone.
Armina Bielefeld`s two games this year ended in draws – 2-2 against SC Freiburg and 2-2 against Greuther Furth. They are also currently on a run of four matches in which they scored at least twice.
Interestingly, 2 of the 3 wins of Arminia Bielefeld came at away grounds this season (against Vfb Stuttgart and RB Leipzig).
Regarding their duels against Eintracht Frankfurt, Arminia Bielefeld are winless in 8 Bundesliga matches against them. More recently, 4 of their last 6 duels ended in draws.
Also, the last time Arminia Bielefeld won in Frankfurt was way back in November of 2006, which was their one and only win in 14 trips to Frankfurt.
The Betting Verdict
Eintracht Frankfurt needs a victory here after two winless matches in a row. Arminia Bielefeld are in relatively good form, but they are a weaker side than Eintracht Frankfurt.
Eintracht Frankfurt are expected to step up their game in this match and record a confidence-boosting victory at good odds.
