Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Eintracht Frankfurt play host to Hertha Berlin at their Deutsche Bank Park on day 8 of the new Bundesliga campaign. Eintracht did well to beat star-studded Bayern Munchen on the road before the international break, with the team recording their first triumph of the process. Die Adler regained a much-needed confidence, and it is no wonder the odds for home win have been dropping. Both Ragnar Ache and Christopher Lenz are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The capital club, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Leipzig (0-6) and Freiburg (1-2), but given their shaky defence, we believe that there is a big value in betting on die Adler. All Jarstein, Dardai, Zeefuik, Gechter, Maolida, Torunarigha, and Klunter are out of contention through injuries for the visiting team.
