Match preview
RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt will face each other on Saturday with both teams wanting to win this important match.
Eintracht Frankfurt finally earned their first league victory after a slow start. They narrowly defeated Werder Bremen 4-3. However, they have fallen short of expectations and are currently ranked 11th in the Bundesliga table.
After returning to the Bundesliga in the summer transfer window, Mario Gotze scored his first league goal in two minutes. However, the game was turned around in favour of the opponent when Anthony Jung and Leonardo Bittencourt scored three minutes apart from each other.
Frankfurt received a lead at the half because of two blistering counter-attacks finished by Randal Kolo and Jesper Lindstrom. Additionally, Djibril Sow’s well-placed finish from the edge of the area was due to unselfish play from Daichi Kamada, who was in great form.
Last time out in the Bundesliga, Leipzig earned their first league win of the season by beating Wolfsburg 2-0 at home.
In the game, Chris Nkunku’s penalty granted the hosts a strong starting point in the 5th minute. However, it wasn’t until injury time when the three points were secured after Nkunku struck again.
RB Leipzig have also been inconsistent this season and currently sit in ninth place in the league table. Earlier this week, they thrashed Teutonia Ottensen by an 8-0 scoreline on the away field. RB Leipzig will hope to achieve a similar scoreline in this fixture.
