Eintracht Frankfurt vs Bochum Prediction and Betting Tips | November 2nd 2024
Eintracht Frankfurt play host to Bochum at the Deutsche Bank Park in the German Bundesliga on Saturday. Having failed to win the last four meetings between the two sides, Dino Toppmoller’s men will head into the weekend looking to get one over the visitors and end their winless run in the league.
Frankfurt had to dig deep in their DFB Pokal second-round clash against Borussia Monchengladbach in midweek as they picked up a hard-fought 2-1 victory at the Deutsche Bank Park.
Toppmoller will hope the cup result can serve as a catalyst for an upturn in form in the Bundesliga, where they have lost one and picked up two draws in their last three games since the start of October, having won four straight matches preceding this run.
With 14 points from eight matches, Frankfurt are currently sixth in the league standings but could move into third place with all three points this weekend.
Bochum, on the other hand, were on the receiving end of a 5-0 hammering against Bayern Munich at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion last Sunday.
Markus Feldhoff’s men remain one of just two sides yet to taste victory in the Bundesliga this season, claiming one draw and losing seven of their eight games so far.
Bochum are currently rooted to the bottom of the league table and their poor start to the season has been due to their struggles in defense, where they have conceded 22 goals already — only Holstein Kiel (23) have allowed more.
