Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Saturday’s football game at Deutsche Bank Park pits together Eintracht Frankfurt and Leipzig, the two teams who are level on points in the Bundesliga table. Eintracht Frankfurt recorded a thrilling 4-3 win over Werder Bremen at the weekend, with the team registering their first triumph of the process. Die Adler aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, and they are surely capable of matching Leipzig, who have yet to find their best form in the 2022/2023 season.
Defender Almamy Toure should be the only absentee in the home team. The Red Bulls, on the other hand, did well to beat Wolfsburg 2-0 on home soil, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Eintracht Frankfurt, who impressed in the triumph over die Werderaner. All Alexander Sorloth, Lukas Klostermann, and Yussuf Poulsen are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side.
