RB Leipzig vs Eintracht Frankfurt Lineups, Prediction, Betting Picks & Odds

RB Leipzig vs Eintracht Frankfurt Game Preview

RB Leipzig host Eintracht Frankfurt at Red Bull Arena in a Bundesliga matchup between neighbors in the standings. Ninth-place Leipzig sit just one point clear of Frankfurt.

Martin Demichelis' side arrive in a slump after losing three of their last four games in all competitions. The latest was a 2-0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen before the international break.

Frankfurt have won just one of their opening four Bundesliga games, mostly because they've shipped 10 goals. Away from home, though, they're still unbeaten this season.

Leipzig's home dominance in this series is real: five victories from their last six meetings with Frankfurt at this venue in all competitions. That edge sets the tone, and Frankfurt's leaky defense does little to change it.

RB Leipzig vs Eintracht Frankfurt Recent Results

Leipzig have been all over the place. They hammered Hamburg 5-0, then lost to Leverkusen. Against all opponents, the moneyline bet has cashed in half of their last 10 outings, which is pretty ordinary for a home favorite. Christopher Nkunku leads the attack, and Antonio Nusa supplies the individual skill behind their best spells.

Frankfurt's problem is control, not firepower. The moneyline bet on them has landed just twice across their last 10 games against all opponents, and their outings are messy. There have been over 2.5 goals in each of Frankfurt's last 7 Bundesliga games. Jonathan Burkardt is the hot hand up top, and Younes Ebnoutalib has been chipping in goals too.

RB Leipzig vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction & Best Picks

Our Prediction

Our RB Leipzig vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction is a Leipzig win in a game where both teams score. The hosts are -163 (10Bet) on the moneyline, and our projections have them winning by about a goal with Frankfurt still finding the net. Frankfurt keep leaking goals and giving away leads, which is the wrong profile against a Leipzig side built on set pieces and individual quality. We're siding with the home team, just don't count on a clean sheet.

Best Picks

Ezechiel Banzuzi over 1.5 shots in the Player Shots market. He is expected to start in Leipzig's midfield in a match the hosts are projected to control. This one sits in the Player Shots market, and we like it. Leipzig's short-passing, possession style keeps Banzuzi on the ball in the opposition half, which is exactly where his looks come from, and he's a near lock to start if fit.

Christopher Nkunku to score at any time in the Anytime Goalscorer market. He leads Leipzig's attack in a fixture with a high projected total. This is an Anytime Goalscorer play, and the matchup sets up well for it. Frankfurt have conceded at least 2 goals in 6 of their last 7 Bundesliga games, so Leipzig's main attacking threat should get plenty of looks on goal.

RB Leipzig vs Eintracht Frankfurt Same Game Parlay

Our RB Leipzig vs Eintracht Frankfurt Same Game Parlay picks back Jonathan Burkardt to score and pile up shots, Raphael Onyedika to see a card and plenty of goals.

Burkardt in the Anytime Goalscorer market is the anchor. He's found the net in each of his last three Bundesliga outings, and Leipzig's back line struggles against through balls.

Onyedika in the To Be Shown A Card market. He's picked up a card in three of his previous four Bundesliga appearances, and chasing Leipzig's skill players through midfield invites bookings.

Over 3.5 in the Total Goals Over/Under market. There have been 4+ goals in 4 of Frankfurt's last 4 Bundesliga games, and this matchup profiles as wide open.

Burkardt Over 2.5 in the Player Shots market. He's gotten off 3 or more shots in three straight Bundesliga appearances, and Frankfurt's counterattacks run through him.

At the time of writing, this Same Game Parlay pays a best price of +1700 and is as short as +1016 elsewhere. That's a difference in potential winnings of $68 from best to worst price.

RB Leipzig vs Eintracht Frankfurt Talking Points

Demichelis is already feeling the heat. Since his June appointment, Leipzig's head coach has split his results evenly between wins and defeats across all competitions, and another home stumble would only sharpen the questions. Frankfurt have the opposite problem. They have scored early and led at halftime in every Bundesliga outing this season, yet dropped a league-high seven points from winning positions. That sets up the key battle. Leipzig are strong on attacking set pieces and good at protecting a lead, while Frankfurt rate poorly at defending set pieces and holding on to an advantage. If Frankfurt strike first again, don't assume the lead lasts. The RB Leipzig vs Eintracht Frankfurt betting odds already lean the hosts' way, and that late-game edge is the reason.
