Will the Kraichgauers now also win in Frankfurt?

Even after the change of coach, Eintracht suffered defeat in the Champions League during the week. This weekend, they have another chance in the league and the opportunity to place a bet on the Frankfurt vs. Hoffenheim match.

Frankfurt has not been performing well since the end of November, leaving them in seventh place in the league. The situation is quite different for TSG Hoffenheim, who are just behind Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund with 33 points.

Hoffenheim is not among the favorites to win the championship, as Dortmund is six points ahead and Bayern is even 17 points ahead, but the current situation is impressive considering that TSG finished last season in 15th place. Frankfurt is now looking for its next win, and the odds are not so bad in the Frankfurt – Hoffenheim prediction.

The last two months have not been good for Eintracht in terms of odds. But this is precisely where the opportunity lies. The actual probability of victory must be rated higher than the odds suggest.

The expected goals value for this match is 3.05. Accordingly, you can bet on over 2.5 goals. In combination with both teams scoring, the odds for this are 1.75. In Frankfurt’s last three games alone, an average of 5.6 goals per game have been scored.

Which player will make it onto the scoresheet? In general, the Frankfurt – Hoffenheim odds for the possible goalscorers are quite high. Jonathan Burkardt of Frankfurt has eight goals to his name, but will be out with injury. Andrej Kramaric of Hoffenheim is a possibility, however. He has already scored six goals, three of which came in the game against Gladbach in mid-January.

Frankfurt vs. Hoffenheim AI prediction

Our artificial intelligence has already analyzed the upcoming game and clearly favors Eintracht Frankfurt. The predicted probability of victory for the home team is 44.9%, which is significantly higher than the odds offered by betting providers.

In contrast, the chances of an away win are calculated at 32.3%, which is less than the Frankfurt – Hoffenheim betting odds suggest. Some odds, on the other hand, assume a probability of over 40% that Hoffenheim will win. The AI rates the probability of a draw at 22.8%. The bottom line is a win for Eintracht.

Frankfurt – Statistics & current form

Frankfurt have had a strong season, which saw them qualify for the Champions League. However, as of this week, it is clear that they will not make it past the group stage.

On Wednesday, they lost to Qarabağ Ağdam. It was their fifth defeat in seven games in the Champions League. The team is also out of the cup. So now it’s time to focus on the league.

In order to return to successful times, Dino Toppmöller was recently dismissed. Dennis Schmitt was hired as his successor, under whom the team lost the Champions League game. Schmitt had previously coached Eintracht’s second team.

Only one win in seven games

Frankfurt can kiss goodbye to any title hopes this season. Mathematically, however, it is still possible to reach the Champions League. A win on Saturday would help, as it would bring them within three points of Hoffenheim. Frankfurt are currently in seventh place with 27 points.

At the end of November, things weren’t looking too bad. After a weak phase, the results improved again, but since then there has been only one win in six games. That was the 1-0 win against FC Augsburg. Frankfurt has been waiting for a win for four games, picking up only three points during this period.

The last three games have revealed a lack of stability. Although they scored three goals twice and two goals once, they conceded three goals three times in a row. Frankfurt’s defense is the big problem. Together with Heidenheim, they currently have the worst defense in the league.

Another problem for Frankfurt at the moment is the absence of top scorer Jonathan Burkardt, who is expected to return at the beginning of February. However, he will still be missing for the game against Hoffenheim.

Hoffenheim – Statistics & current form

TSG Hoffenheim currently occupies the spot where Frankfurt finished last season. Since being promoted to the Bundesliga in 2008, they have only managed to finish third once, which was in 2018. This makes their current position all the more surprising, given that they were fighting against relegation last season.

Hoffenheim has stuck with Christian Ilzer as coach and has been rewarded for it so far. The Kraichgauers are having a very stable season and started the new year with a 5-1 win against Gladbach and a 1-0 win against Bayer Leverkusen. Interestingly, Hoffenheim is in third place, but still has a game in hand against Bremen.

Three convincing wins in a row have shown that Hoffenheim can even compete for the Champions League. This is especially true if they win in Frankfurt on Saturday.

Stable defense and away strength

At Hoffenheim, things are almost the opposite compared to Frankfurt. After Bayern and Dortmund, the team has the third-best defense in the league, which shows that their success is no coincidence.

The away record shows that there is something to be gained in Frankfurt. In eight away games so far, Hoffenheim has earned 15 points from four wins and three draws. They have only lost once away from home, which was in Dortmund.

When Hoffenheim has taken the lead this season, they have won 88% of their games. They have not lost a single game this season when they have taken the lead. This is testament to a strong team that is currently aware of its strengths.

A win for Hoffenheim would consolidate their third place. Currently, Stuttgart and Leipzig could overtake them at any time. The bookmakers see the visitors as favorites.

Frankfurt – Hoffenheim Head-to-head record / H2H record

Frankfurt currently leads the head-to-head record with 14 wins to 10. Eintracht has improved this record in recent years in particular. Frankfurt has not lost to Hoffenheim in five games.

Eintracht managed to win four out of five games 3-1. Last season, there was also a 2-2 draw. Ritsu Doan contributed two goals to the 3-1 win in August.

Eintracht Frankfurt – Hoffenheim Tip

The many weeks with few points and Hoffenheim’s run have meant that Frankfurt’s chances of winning are not rated too highly by the bookmakers. But that is exactly where there is value to be found.

Frankfurt are playing at home and are likely to respond after their defeat in the Champions League. Under coach Dennis Schmitt, Eintracht must therefore be considered favorites for the weekend. A tip on a home win makes sense.

Hoffenheim are playing away, Frankfurt have defensive problems. This combination suggests that there will be plenty of goals, especially as two of the strongest attacks in the league are set to face each other.

There have been many different goalscorers on both sides. Andrej Kramaric is a possible goalscorer for the visitors, which is why betting on the midfielder to score is also an option.
