The strong attacking performances of Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia M'gladbach at the start of the current season give fans of both teams hope for a successful campaign. Each side aims to secure a spot in European competitions by the end of the season, and next week, Eintracht Frankfurt will begin their Europa League journey.
After a setback against Borussia Dortmund (0:2), Eintracht Frankfurt's attack has reawakened. Including their German Cup victory over Eintracht Braunschweig (4:1), striker Hugo Ekitiké has an impressive record of 3+3 (also providing an assist for the French U21 side). The team ranks in the top 5 of the Bundesliga by xG (6.71). However, let’s not forget the injury to goalkeeper Kevin Trapp—the team captain was substituted at halftime during the match against Wolfsburg (2:1), which could weaken their defensive reliability.
During the off-season, Borussia M'gladbach opted not to make a coaching change and instead trusted the talent of Gerardo Seoane, who has rebuilt the team. After a win against VfL Bochum (2:0), the team put up a fight against Stuttgart (1:3), with new signing Kevin Stöger making another significant contribution (he has two assists in the league). Against Stuttgart, the team registered 2.12 xG, and similar creativity can be expected against their next opponent with a similar style.
Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia M'gladbach have both teams to score in their last six head-to-head meetings. In Frankfurt, Eintracht Frankfurt are likely to be closer to victory, but Borussia M'gladbach will certainly pose problems for the home defence.
