Eintracht Frankfurt - VfB Stuttgart

Newcomer Frankfurt played a really great first half of the season and they are one of the surprises this season beside some others. Unfortunately, they have lost more or less of their freshness or maybe their opponents know their style of play now and how they are controlled. But this is not the complete truth as I see some changes in tactic and maybe system too. They started very well into the season and played a really great offensive style where they like to win more 3-2 as 1-0. Their fresh and carefree actions overcome almost all opponents but this is gone. They faced some problems in the past matches and they were not able to return to their style of play as coach Veh changed a bit and try to give more attention on their defensive therefore they lost their offensive power. They did not score in 505 minutes now, so it is not surprising if they do not win matches. Also some of the teams who were much behind them close the gap and they need more than ever to win matches if they want to remain under top 6. Against Hannover they played very well and they showed some nice actions although the match was very average but the uptrend was seen and therefore I am absolutely sure that they turn things around and score again. Also against Gladbach they invest a lot but were not able to bring the ball over the line.

What a disaster for VfB Stuttgart 2013, of course they are still in almost all competitions but they are very weak at the moment.  Euro League they are in quarter final but knock out against Lazio Rom now, German Cup they stands in semi-final against Freiburg and this is maybe their last change to reach EL again but they have to advance to the final and hope that they face Bayern Munich then. This means that they are qualified immediately without winning the final. In league they had an absolutely great position at winter break but after getting not much 2013 they fall down huge. They are the weakest side 2013 with only 4 points collected. Their style of play looks very unstable and if some players not at 100% or have the right attitude it is hard to win. Additional problem should be that they play their 42 matches this season. They are not as fresh as they should be and with EL match in their legs again it is hard to see them getting much. Moreover they produce to many mistakes in their play and in defensive and always good to concede anyway. This makes it not much easier for them.

Nevertheless I am very keen on both teams and I am absolutely sure that they stop their goalless streak today. Frankfurt showed an uptrend anyway and it is only a matter of time that they score again. Inui, Meier, Aigner and Lakic should be able to create some and finish as well. They are fresh enough against a unstable and tired defensive from Stuttgart. And if they force their offensive play a bit more it is also possible that Stuttgart gets some space for some counter attacks what they love much more. Their wings with Traore and Harnik and upfront Ibisevic can hurt Frankfurt then. Overall I like the goals here although both are not so in scoring modus but the confidence for a turnaround is there.
