Eintracht Frankfurt – Hoffenheim : Preview & Prediction
For the 31st day of the Bundesliga, Eintracht Frankfurt hosts Hoffenheim. For the home team, a loss of momentum is felt because it occupies the 10th place. With now 8 points behind the top 6 with 4 days to go, the mission is impossible to hope for a European qualification. Kevin Trapp’s team-mates are in trouble and the reason is two consecutive defeats against Freiburg (1-2) and Union Berlin (1-2) last week. In the second half of the season, the Frankfurt players achieved the feat of eliminating FC Barcelona (4-3 on aggregate), allowing them to reach the Europa League semi-finals. As a result, the first leg is next Thursday at West Ham. We believe that Frankfurt will focus on the Europa League because if they win the final, they will qualify for a European Cup next season.
The Hoffenheim players are simply ruining their end of season! Indeed, the teammates of Kramaric are now outside the top 6 but have only 2 points behind Union Berlin 6th. Since their interesting draw at the reception of Bayern Munich (1-1), Hoffenheim players are sinking and are in danger in the race for Europe. After three consecutive defeats against Hertha (3-0), Bochum (1-2) and Leipzig (3-0), Hoffenheim stopped the hemorrhage by obtaining only a draw at the reception of the good last Greuther Fürth (0-0) last weekend.
In the first leg, Hoffenheim won (3-2).
Frankfurt has won only one of its last 9 matches in all competitions.
Frankfurt have the 16th best home record in the Bundesliga with 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats.
Frankfurt have not won in the league since 13 March.
In this match, we should see a rather special game. The team of Frankfurt has no hope to finish in the top 6 and its only hope to have a European Cup for next season is to win the Europa League. On the other hand, Hoffenheim still has all the cards in their hands to claim the European places. We think that the players and the staff of Frankfurt will give priority to the Europa League which will arrive very quickly and not take any risk on the next Bundesliga games. That’s why we expect Hoffenheim to win and to be very motivated.
