Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Monchengladbach

Deutsche Bank Park is the venue as Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Monchengladbach go head-to-head in a handsomely-looking Bundesliga encounter.

Full of confidence after securing their first progression into a major European final in the 21st century, courtesy of a 3-1 aggregate triumph over West Ham United in the Europa League semi-finals, Frankfurt will be looking to arrest a three-game winless H2H run at home (D1, L2). Indeed, ‘Die Adler’ have won just one of their last seven Bundesliga home meetings with Gladbach (W2, D4). Before beating West Ham 1-0 in midweek Europa League action, Oliver Glasner’s men were without a win in competitive home action across their six previous outings at the Deutsche Bank Park (D4, L2), scoring under 1.5 goals in five of them.

Meanwhile, Monchengladbach have come out victorious in four of their last seven Bundesliga fixtures (D2, L1), with each of those triumphs yielding a two-goal margin. Indeed, since the start of Matchday 26, only Cologne and Bayern Munich have picked up more Bundesliga points than Gladbach (14). But it’s been too little too late for the ‘Foals,’ as they are on the verge of missing out on European qualification for the second season running. A 3-2 defeat in the reverse fixture saw Frankfurt’s ex-manager Addi Hutter lose to the side he carried to a six-game unbeaten H2H streak during his managerial spell at the Deutsche Bank Park.
