• Competition: Germany - Bundesliga
• Date: Saturday, 21st, September 2024
• Kickoff: 17:30 UK / 18.30 CEST
• Venue: Deutsche Bank Park (Frankfurt)

Eintracht Frankfurt will aim to continue their climb towards the top four as they host struggling Borussia Mgladbach at Deutsche Bank Park for matchday four of the Bundesliga on Saturday.

Over the past few years, Eintracht Frankfurt have become serious contenders for European spots, as they confirmed last term by ending sixth in the Bundesliga to qualify for the new-look Europa League, where they will kick off their campaign next week with a home match against Viktoria Plzen. Prior to entering the European fray, Dino Toppmoller’s team will look to preserve a respectable beginning to their campaign in the German top division, having accumulated six points out of nine available, and currently sharing the same points total with Heidenheim in fourth.

Since tasting the delights of the Champions League in 2020-21, Borussia Monchengladbach have faced an unexpected drop in performance, leading them to spend the last four league campaigns much closer to the relegation zone than to a return to UEFA tournaments. The previous domestic campaign for Die Fohlen was forgettable, as they escaped falling into the bottom three by a mere point, but the beginning of the 2024-25 Bundesliga season does not bring encouraging signs, since they currently occupy 13th place with just three points from a nine on offer.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia M'gladbach Betting Tips: FRANKFURT TO WIN

At this moment, we believe that Frankfurt, backed by their passionate fans, is much closer to getting all three points than Borussia Mgladbach, who are showing a decrease in form year after year. Although they were outplayed by Dortmund 0-2 in their opener, Die Adler bouned back brilliantly by registering bak-to-back successes against the tricky duo of Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg, allowing them to restore their confidence to the desired level. In their quest to achieve a three-game winning run for the first time since December 2021, Dino Toppmoller’s side will feel confident in their ability to finally do this against an unreliable opponent they haven't lost to in six straight H2Hs, winning half of those. 

Indeed, Die Fohlen's only three points from their opening tri of Bundesliga matches came against relegation candidates Bochum, and it seems they lack the strenght to wrestle with stronger rivals, as they were mocked by Stuttgart with a painful 1-3 loss in front of their Borussia-Park faithful last weekend. Hopes for a revival in form look bleak, as Monchengladbach have performed very poorly on their rivals' turf for an extended period, with only three of their last 26 Bundesliga visits resulting in them leaving with all three points. Based on everything, we hope that a confident Frankfurt will take full advantage of Gladbach's dismal displays on the road and come away with three points effortlessly.
