Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
High-flying Eintracht Frankfurt will be looking to record their fourth consecutive Bundesliga win when they host rock-bottom Schalke 04 at their Deutsche Bank Park. Die Adler look unstoppable at the moment, and we are positive that they will stick to their attacking style of play in Sunday’s football game. A man to watch in the home team will be Portugal international Andre Silva, who scored a brace in the 2-0 win over Mainz.
Die Knappen, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Hoffenheim, and they managed to get one. The 4-0 triumph gave the relegation strugglers a confidence boost, but given their poor away record in the 2020/21 season, we believe that punters can find value in betting on the in-form hosts. Eintracht defenders should have USA teenager Matthew Hoppe, who scored a hat-trick against Hoffenheim, at bay.
Highlighted Player (Dominik Kohr):
Dominik Kohr is a product of Bayer Leverkusen’s youth school. The German midfielder was born in Tier on 31 January, 1994 and he made eight appearances for the Bundesliga side at senior level.

Dominik Kohr is a central midfielder, but he is capable of playing as a defensive midfielder and a centre back as well.
