Eintracht Frankfurt – Bochum : Preview & Prediction
Eintracht Frankfurt cross swords with Bochum on the 21st day of the Bundesliga. The meeting takes place at Deutsche Bank Park this Saturday at 3.30pm. Eintracht Frankfurt are used to fighting for European places, and this season is no exception. Currently in 6th place in the Bundesliga, the Adler are only 3 points ahead of closest pursuers Freiburg. The team has returned from the winter break in fine form. In their first match, Kevin Trapp and his team-mates beat Leipzig (5th) 0-1. However, they disappointed with a draw away to bottom-placed Darmstadt. However, the team made up for it in front of their home fans with a 1-0 win over Mainz (17th). Unfortunately, Dino Toppmöller’s men surprisingly lost 2-0 to Cologne (16th). They will have to bounce back this weekend or risk being knocked out of the top 6. Bochum, on the other hand, are faced with a major squad renewal every year. Thomas Letsch is therefore unable to build his team on continuity, and this is reflected in the rankings. The VFL now lie 14th in the Bundesliga, 6 points clear of the relegation zone. However, Takuma Asano and his team-mates are showing signs of fighting spirit that suggest they will stay up. The 1-0 victory over Stuttgart (3rd) and the draw with Augsburg (12th) are proof of this. Nevertheless, the team is still showing major shortcomings away from home against top-flight teams. Dortmund (4th) outclassed them 3-1.
