RB Leipzig vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction
Die Roten Bullen have suffered just one defeat at home in the Bundesliga this term, with that defeat coming against Union Berlin earlier this month. They will be looking to bounce back to winning ways in this match. They have not suffered a defeat at home against the visitors and should be able to produce a strong performance.
Die Adler have suffered a couple of defeats in their last three games, in which they also failed to score. They were able to record a 4-0 win in the reverse fixture, but considering their struggles at Saturday's venue, they are unlikely to secure a league double.
As both teams are coming off a challenging game in the Champions League, we expect them to play out a low-scoring draw.
