Eintracht Frankfurt
Eintracht Frankfurt enter this match following the dismissal of Dino Toppmöller, after a disappointing run that saw them take just one win in their last seven Bundesliga games while conceding 17 goals, including three in each of their last three games.
The Eagles are now under temporary management by Under-21 coach Dennis Schmitt and former striker Alexander Meier, with Schmitt taking the lead.
Eintracht Frankfurt returns to Bundesliga action after their unfortunate 3-2 loss to FK Qarabag in the Champions League, which ended their hopes of progressing in the competition. A home tie against Tottenham Hotspur remains next week, but it will be just a formality in their dismal European campaign.
In the Bundesliga, Eintracht Frankfurt are winless in four games, drawing three of them. Their matches this season have been high-scoring affairs, averaging around four goals per game, largely due to defensive vulnerabilities.
Last weekend, they drew 3-3 with Werder Bremen, showing that they can score but struggle to keep clean sheets.
TSG Hoffenheim
TSG Hoffenheim have been in excellent form under coach Christian Ilzer, losing only once in their last 11 Bundesliga games. The team currently sits third in the league, winning all of their last six home games. However, their away form is less convincing, with just one win in their last four road games.
Last weekend, TSG Hoffenheim secured a 1-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen, following a dominant 5-1 thrashing of Borussia Monchengladbach in the previous round.
TSG Hoffenheim's attack and midfield balance have been strong, but their away form certainly must improve if they are serious in their pursuit of Champions League places.
The Betting Verdict
Eintracht Frankfurt is unbeaten in five straight Bundesliga duels against TSG Hoffenheim, beating them four times.
Matches between these two teams have regularly produced a lot of goals in recent years – there were 3+ scored in all of their last 12 head-to-head duels across competitions.
I expect that trend to continue, so backing over 2.5 goals looks like a lock. There is also value in backing Eintracht Frankfurt, as sudden coaching changes usually revive struggling teams. However, I would stick with goals as the main bet here.
