Eintracht Frankfurt is gearing up to face VfL Bochum at Deutsche Bank Park in a Bundesliga showdown this Saturday. Eintracht Frankfurt recently secured a 2-1 victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach in the DFB-Pokal, despite playing with a man down after Arthur Theate received a red card. The Eagles have faced tough opponents like Bayern München, Bayer Leverkusen, and Union Berlin in their recent league matches, resulting in two draws and one loss.
Frankfurt has been a strong attacking force this season, scoring 16 goals, making them the fourth-highest scoring team in the Bundesliga. However, defensively they have conceded 12 goals, ranking them seventh in the league. The team has struggled to keep clean sheets in their recent games but managed to secure four consecutive wins before their winless streak.
Eintracht Frankfurt will be without Arthur Theate, Rasmus Kristensen, and Oscar Hojlund for the upcoming match. This could see Tuta, Robin Koch, and Aurele Amenda forming a back three in defense, with Ellyes Skhiri and Hugo Larsson holding the midfield. Upfront, Omar Marmoush is expected to start alongside Mario Götze and Hugo Ekitike.
On the other hand, VfL Bochum suffered a heavy 5-0 defeat to Bayern Munich in their last game and have been struggling this season, scoring only seven goals and conceding 22. The team is currently facing a seven-point gap from safety and has struggled in their recent away games, losing five consecutive matches.
Bochum will be missing Manuel Riemann and Bernardo for the upcoming match, with Patrick Drewes expected to take over in goal. Tim Oermann, Ivan Ordets, and Jakov Medic could form the back three in defense. Moritz Broschinski and Dani de Wit are likely to lead the attack, with Ibrahima Sissoko, Erhan Masovic, and Anthony Losilla in central midfield.
Both teams will be looking to secure a much-needed win in this upcoming clash, with Eintracht Frankfurt aiming to climb up the Bundesliga table and VfL Bochum hoping to close the gap to safety. It promises to be an exciting encounter between two teams with contrasting fortunes in the league.
