Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-2
Leipzig
A spot in the DFB Pokal quarter-finals will be at stake when Eintracht Frankfurt and Leipzig face each other at Commerzbank-Arena on Tuesday evening. Eintracht Frankfurt are undefeated in the first three league games of the year, meaning that they are high on spirits ahead of the visit of Leipzig. Die Adler did well to beat the Red Bulls in the Bundesliga ten days ago, and, no doubt, the visitors are hungry for revenge.
Leipzig head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Borussia M’gladbach. The Red Bulls dropped to the second place in the Bundesliga standings, but they are still breathing down Bayern Munchen’s neck. Leipzig have big ambitions for the 2019/2020 German Cup campaign, but beating Eintracht in Frankfurt is easier said than done. Given die Adler’s current form, we believe that the two teams are going to share the spoils at Commerzbank-Arena in 90 minutes.
