Eintracht Frankfurt
Eintracht Frankfurt were remarkably consistent last season, finishing third and reinforcing their reputation as a European threat. However, they no longer have Hugo Ekitike and Omar Marmoush, who anchored their attack, so we will likely see a period of adjustment for new players. Goalkeeper Kevin Trapp is also set to leave, so this will be a much different Eintracht Frankfurt team than the one from last season.
In any case, Eintracht Frankfurt are always tough to break down at home and aggressive going forward. Last season, they remained unbeaten in 14 of their 17 home games, and most recently, they remained unbeaten in all their last four played in their stadium (three wins).
Eintracht Frankfurt warmed up for this Bundesliga season with a comfortable 0-5 cup win against a minnow regional side, with their latest signing, Japanese striker Ritsu Doan, scoring twice in that match.
Werder Bremen
Werder Bremen are facing another season of uncertainty, with a significantly changed team. They let go of their goalkeeper, Michael Zetterer, and brought in a new head coach, Horst Steffen.
Although Werder Bremen finished last season on the back of an incredible 8 unbeaten games in a row (five wins, three draws), they started this competitive season poorly.
Amazingly, Werder Bremen were the only Bundesliga side that got knocked out of the DFB Cup last weekend in the very first round. They conceded a goal in the last moments of the game against Arminia Bielefeld and lost 1-0, which shook their confidence before this Bundesliga opening.
Speaking of Bundesliga openings, an interesting fact is that Werder Bremen have not won their first Bundesliga game of the season ever since 2013, when they defeated Eintracht Braunschweig.
The Betting Verdict
Werder Bremen looks very fragile at the moment. They lost important players like striker Marvin Ducksch, who joined Birmingham City, and their captain, Marco Friedl, even voiced concerns about the club’s lack of reinforcements after a tough cup defeat last week.
Eintracht Frankfurt looks better to me, and I think they will take control from the start. The odds for their win are solid, and you can also try -1 handicap if you are aiming for more edge.
If you want even better odds, Eintracht Frankfurt to lead at half-time is also tempting — Werder Bremen just looks shaky.
