Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Bundesliga match.
Eintracht Frankfurt and Wolfsburg are both exceeding expectations this season and will be eager to avoid dropping points against a direct rival in the race for European places. Following Omar Marmoush’s departure, Eintracht Frankfurt will look to integrate new signing Jean-Philippe Mateta into their system, but with home advantage, their attacking threat remains strong, especially with Hugo Ekitike leading the line.
Eintracht Frankfurt
Eintracht Frankfurt saw their three-match Bundesliga winning streak come to an end last week, but that run had already solidified their place in the top three. In January, they generated 9.41 xG—second only to Bayern Munich (12.30) in the league. Despite a 0:2 away defeat to AS Roma, Frankfurt secured their place in the Europa League last 16 and can now fully focus on domestic ambitions.
Wolfsburg
Wolfsburg are enjoying one of their most promising seasons in years, with Ralph Hasenhüttl’s attacking approach paying dividends. Across 19 Bundesliga matches, Wolfsburg have seen over 2.5 goals land 14 times—only Holstein Kiel have recorded more (15). They opened the previous round against Holstein Kiel, producing a dominant display (2.09 xG vs. 0.27), yet still had to settle for a 2:2 draw.
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Wolfsburg Prediction
Recent encounters between these sides have consistently produced goals, with both teams scoring in three of their last four meetings. Eintracht claimed a 2:1 victory in the first leg, and given their defensive vulnerabilities, another high-scoring clash is on the cards in Frankfurt.
