RB Leipzig vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction and betting tips on December 15, 2024
Game Prediction
On December 15, 2024, the 14th round of the Bundesliga will feature RB Leipzig hosting Eintracht Frankfurt. The Eagles will seek revenge for their recent heavy defeat against the same opponent in the cup.
Our Prediction for the Match: RB Leipzig vs Eintracht Frankfurt
The Bulls delivered their typically strong performance last season. They reached the Champions League playoffs and secured fourth place in the Bundesliga, finishing ahead of Borussia Dortmund. Eintracht also enjoyed a successful season, ending sixth, proving Dino Toppmöller’s appointment to be a smart choice.
Both teams are currently competing in European tournaments, with contrasting results. Marco Rose’s side has been one of the Champions League’s biggest disappointments, losing even to Celtic. Their recent defeat to Aston Villa ended their hopes for the playoffs. In contrast, Eintracht, led by a brilliant Marmoush, has excelled in the Europa League. After starting with a 3-3 draw against Viktoria Plzeň, they went on to defeat every opponent except Lyon this week.
In the Bundesliga, Leipzig started strong, handing Bayer Leverkusen their first loss in over 18 months. However, November saw a sharp decline, with a single draw against Borussia Mönchengladbach amidst four losses. Despite this, they managed to crush Eintracht 3-0 in the cup and later secured a 2-0 win over Holstein Kiel.
Toppmöller’s men have been more consistent, winning two-thirds of their Bundesliga matches and finishing the first half of the season in second place. This may indicate a strategic focus away from the cup to prioritize other competitions. However, their 1-1 draw with Augsburg in the last round revealed some vulnerabilities.
