Prediction, Odds & Betting tips for RB Leipzig vs. Eintracht Frankfurt at DFB Pokal
The German Cup finals include RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt. The Bulls are the reigning champions of this competition, and this is their third consecutive time reaching the battle for the trophy. Eintracht won the DFB Pokal five times, the most recent in 2018, and would love to finish this year with another piece of silverware following last year’s Europa League honors. The game takes place at the legendary Olympiastadion in Berlin.
RB Leipzig
The Bulls are in perfect form ahead of this battle, winning nine of the last ten games and having six triumphs in a row, one of them being in Munich, where they took down Bayern 1-3 and, for the moment, complicated the situation at the top of the table.
In four of the previous five victories, RB scored at least twice. Nkunku, Werner, and the rest of the crew are on fire, and if the Bulls reached this form a bit sooner, we are more than positive that the race for the Bundesliga title would look otherwise.
The primary weapon of Marco Rose’s unit is a fluid and very fast transition, with them having maybe the most lethal counter-attack in entire Europe.
Eintracht Frankfurt
Eintracht fell short of reaching the place which leads to Europe in the standings, but they will appear in the international competition anyway. The only question is whether they do it as a trophy winner or a lucky loser.
After winning the Europa League last season, another title would be a magnificent achievement for this tea, who, overall, had a solid season. Right now, the Eagles’ form is on the rise, with one loss in the past six events, three wins, and two ties.
Six of the most recent seven contests this unit played ended with over 2.5 hits and five of the last six saw both teams netting. Throughout the year, Eintracht usually had high-efficient affairs with goals on both ends.
RB Leipzig: Blaswich; Henrichs, Orban, Gvardiol, Halstenberg; Laimer, Haidara; Szoboszlai, Olmo; Werner, Nkunku
Eintracht Frankfurt: Trapp; Toure, Tuta, Ndicka; Buta, Rode, Sow, Lenz; Gotze, Muani, Kamada
Both teams posted a win each in direct encounters this year. The first meeting was in Frankfurt, where Eintracht won 4-0, and the second in Leipzig concluded with the hosts’ 2-1 triumph.
These two teams are in solid shape and are coming to win this match, confident in their capabilities. We highly doubt that the respective head coaches are going to try defensive-minded approaches because both the Bulls and the Eagles simply don’t play like that. The offenses are much better than the defenses. Therefore, we should see at least a goal on both ends.
Our verdict: Both teams to score
