Venue (City, Stadium) | Deutsche Bank Park |
Days after their DFB-Pokal meeting, Eintracht Frankfurt vs Hamburg comes round again, this time with Bundesliga points at stake at Deutsche Bank Park on Sunday afternoon.
Frankfurt knocked Hamburg out of the cup in midweek, but Adolf Hütter's side have won just one of their last four Bundesliga matches. Sitting 15th, they badly need league points.
Hamburg arrive on the back of successive defeats to Paderborn and Frankfurt, which ended a run of three straight Bundesliga wins. Merlin Polzin insists Sunday is about different things.
Frankfurt are unbeaten in 9 of the last 10 meetings with Hamburg in all competitions, and Hütter wants a proactive, front-foot defensive display to keep the visitors uncomfortable.
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Hamburg Form
Frankfurt's league form is a worry, and a Frankfurt win has landed just 2 times out of the last 10 outings against all opponents. Knocking Hamburg out of the DFB-Pokal in midweek will have helped the mood. Jonathan Burkardt leads the line, with Ritsu Doan the main outlet in a side that loves attacking down the right.
Hamburg had strung together three straight Bundesliga wins before losing to Paderborn and then going out of the DFB-Pokal to Frankfurt. Backing a Hamburg win across their previous 10 outings against all opponents would have paid out 5 times. They are stubborn when ahead, happy to shoot from distance, and Miro Muheim has been weighing in with goals from midfield.

Eintracht Frankfurt
Hütter could make a couple of changes, recalling Noël Aséko and Keita Kosugi. Lilian Brassier missed the midweek cup tie but is in line to start at centre-back, while Malik Pimpong and Oscar Højlund both returned to the bench against Hamburg. Jessic Ngankam is the only absentee.
Hamburg
Daniel Heuer Fernandes returns in goal, and defensive pair Sebastiaan Bornauw and Jordan Torunarigha have been cleared to play. That eases a crowded treatment room, with Mario Vušković suspended and Yussuf Poulsen and Fábio Vieira among the injured, so the Eintracht Frankfurt vs Hamburg lineups below are the probable XIs.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Hamburg Talking Points
The big question is whether Frankfurt's new steadiness holds up. Hütter says his side have become structurally steadier but admits "we still have a lot of work to do", and their weakness defending counter-attacks is exactly where a direct Hamburg side will look to hurt them. Polzin accepts Frankfurt have more individual quality and wants his players to close the gap through work rate and physical intensity. Goals tend to follow this fixture, with 13 of Frankfurt's last 16 home matches against Hamburg in all competitions producing over 2.5 goals. A win would lift Frankfurt above Hamburg in the table, and the Eintracht Frankfurt vs Hamburg betting odds rightly have the hosts as clear favourites, which is where our Eintracht Frankfurt vs Hamburg best bets sit too.
