Eintracht Frankfurt vs Hoffenheim Prediction & Betting Tips (24 January)

After having had an ideal start in this Bundesliga, Eintracht Frankfurt is gradually losing ground in the race for the Champions League. The Capricious Diva has in fact only won one of her last 7 championship matches and even remains in 4 matches without success against Hamburg 1-1, Dortmund 3-3, Stuttgart 3-2 and finally against Werder Bremen 3-3 last Saturday. In the standings, Dino Toppmöller's men have therefore fallen back to 7th position, now with 6 points out of the top 4. This week, a long trip awaits the Eagles in the Champions League at Qarabag. For their part, Hoffenheim is not wasting its strength in the European Cup this season after coming close to relegation last year.

And the least we can say is that it works quite well for him. Indeed, the TSG settled on the 3rd step of the podium thanks to its 33 points taken after 17 days. In great form, Christian Ilzer's men have won 3 of their last 4 Bundesliga matches against Hamburg 4-1, Stuttgart 0-0, Borussia Mönchengladbach 5-1 and finally against Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 last weekend. 

Eintracht must still do without the valuable scorer Burkardt (8 goals in the Bundesliga) and his replacement at the post Batshuayi (1 goal) who are still recovering in the company of the long-term absentee Chandler, the attacker Ebnoutalib and the little-used defender Baum. Midfielder Skhiri is uncertain after missing the last day while full-back Kristensen and midfielder Dahoud are not guaranteed to be able to play after being out injured last weekend. Also, executive midfielders Larsson (defensive) and Götze (offensive) could also be missing. Therefore, this means a lot for this Frankfurt team. Conversely, the Turkish Uzun (6 goals, 3 assists in the Bundesliga), the Japanese Doan (4 goals, 5 assists) and the interesting Knauff (3 goals) are very present. It is the same for the former Rennais Kalimuendo, arrived from Nottingham Forest to compensate for the departure of Wahi to Nice, who scored his first goal in his new colors last week.

For Hoffenheim, the Japanese defender Machida as well as the little or no used Hlozek and Campell should once again throw in the towel. Otherwise, the entire TSG group should be able to play this game. Among the names to remember capable of standing out against Frankfurt's weak defense, we can of course cite Asllani (6 goals, 3 assists in the Bundesliga), the formidable Prömel (5 goals, 2 assists), Lemperle (6 goals, 2 assists), Burger (4 goals, 4 assists), who scored the only goal of the match against Bayer, and Kramaric (6 goals, 3 assists). The probable line-ups for Eintracht Frankfurt - Hoffenheim: Eintracht Frankfurt: Kaua - Kristensen, Amenda, Theate - Doan, Skhiri, Höjlund, Knauff - Kalimuendo, Bahoya.Hoffenheim: Baumann - Coufal, Hranac, Kabak (or Hajdari), Bernardo - Avdullahu, Burger - Kramaric, Asllani, Prass - Lemperle.
