Eintracht Frankfurt – B. Monchengladbach SOCCER PICKS

In tabular terms, it is the top game of the 22nd match day of the Bundesliga, when the current fifth receives the current third in the table. Nevertheless, there are nine points between the two teams, which is why Borussia Mönchengladbach would reach a small milestone towards the return to the Champions League, if a trio should succeed away in the Commerzbank Arena. Last weekend, the Hecking side suffered at home against Hertha BSC indeed a damper, as it was surprisingly 0: 3 in the end, in the previous four seasons defeats but there was in each subsequent game a victory of the foals. So now at Eintracht Frankfurt?

At least the bookmakers are skeptical. For example, against Frankfurt against Gladbach the odds in the direction of SGE, although they played since the 3-1 home win over Freiburg on Matchday 18 last four times in a row only draw. Even 80 minutes plus stoppage time in outnumbered away at Schachtjor Donetsk was not enough for another victory on Thursday night – a game that plays anyway against Frankfurt against Gladbach for the forecast anyway. Thus, the Hesse is a difficult journey into the climatically demanding Ukraine in the bone, while the Borussia had a whole week to prepare for this Bundesliga top game. Realistically, we are against Frankfurt Gladbach tip 2 to be, but it must be secured with the addition of “Draw No Bet” to take a not contemptible eventuality from the game.

Frankfurt:

As one of only three teams (in addition to Borussia Dortmund and Werder Bremen) is Eintracht Frankfurt in the second half of the Bundesliga still completely without defeat. Nevertheless, it was in three draws so far only six counters from the four games, by which the whiz-starter of the first round is a little out of the way. The gap to fourth place has already risen to five points, while Leverkusen, Wolfsburg, Hertha, Hoffenheim and also Bremen sit behind the Hessen and squint on their current Europa League starting place.

Speaking of the Europa League, the SGE was also unable to win after six wins in a row on Thursday night, despite the fact that they twice overcame a lead and a game over 80 minutes in Ukraine. Added to this was the goalless draw on last Saturday in Leipzig, where the brilliant offensive of the Hessen for the first time in the season 2018/19 without own scoring remained. All in all, this makes a number of factors that indicate how difficult it will be for the reigning German Cup winner to hold his own among the best six teams in the Beletage of German football until the end of the season. A home threesome against the foals would certainly be a big exclamation point. All the more important, therefore, that the offensive trio around Luka Jovic, Sébastian Haller and Ante Rebic are now standing out again. At least at Frankfurt against Gladbach the odds of bookmakers that the high-altitude flight continues after a small hiccup. With the fourth Bundesliga draw in series would otherwise set a club-internal record from the year 2013.

Gladbach:

The recipe for success of Borussia Mönchengladbach was initially quite simple: In the home stadium in Borussia Park, all the guests were beaten without further ado, while away as much as possible was taken – that were at four wins out of eleven away games so far at least 15 points. But just those white vest in front of their own fans was not only polluted last weekend, but provided in the 0-3 home defeat against Hertha BSC with difficult to clean spots. After the foals had previously won all nine home games in the Beletage of German football, it was a bitter setback – even in the fight for the championship, in the Gladbach is still entangled.

All the more important that Dieter Hecking’s troupe is not deterred by the unexpected defeat against the old lady and shows one of her now dreaded reactions: Every time in the 2018/19 season, when Gladbach lost a match, there was a match in the match a victory. Most recently after the 1: 2 in Dortmund a 1-0 away win at the re-established Bayer Leverkusen. And after all: Against the SBU, Borussia already brought the first leg after a great appearance with 3: 1, with the current third of the table in the Commerzbank Arena is likely to face a very body-heavy match. Nothing that they seem to shy away from, which is why Frankfurt can play against tip 2 against Gladbach. However, it will not only come down to the offensive department around Thorgan Hazard and Alassane Plea, but quite massively on the defensive, which was noticed last weekend by unusually many mistakes – also because performers like Matthias Ginter and Tobias Strobl got a black day , Do the foals now show the corresponding reaction?
