Eintracht Frankfurt - 1899 Hoffenheim

From hero to zero or from high flying into big trouble. This is simple the way from Eintracht Frankfurt at the moment. They had really two great seasons recently. First one was in 2.Bundesliga with promotion at the end and also last one with getting an international spot. This season it is much different to the other seasons. They are back to normal business with a lot of problems and maybe it is lack of experience to handle all the competitions well. In EL and Cup they did well and played much better as in Bundesliga, maybe they are much more motivated for these competitions and invest much more as in Bundesliga. Therefore all the power goes into Cup matches while in BL-matches they are very tired and have not the fitness. The BL-results showed this very well, to begin they were able to get at least Points on the road but in the past matches they were absolutely down. Overall they are winless at home after 12 Rounds what is incredible bad. The home performances were not always bad but they were not able to take advantage from their good play in the first 75 minutes. Normally this is almost a must for them if you take a look at the stats from the last 15 minutes of Frankfurt. They are the worst team in this period and they conceded a lot of late goals what costs them a lot of Points. This can be a key fact due to their tiredness from EL matches and also maybe a head problem from some players. Additional the many injuries they had are of course a problem too. They have not the squad from Bayern Munich to replace all well.

In Hoffenheim not all are pleased about the latest results. To begin it was more in their favor but in recent weeks it looks like that the downtrend has arrived. Of course they know that this can happen above all with this young team. Nevertheless they prepared well and Coach Gisdol gave them the right plan for the match in Augsburg but his players brought it not on the field and it was one of the worst performances this season. They looked helpless on the pitch and no player had normal form. It depends a lot for Hoffenheim on some players like Firmino, Volland and Modeste if the team has a chance or not but if all these players are far away from his form or not good in the match it is hard to win matches for 1899. Overall they have to improve a lot in the upcoming matches if they want to get back on track. But the main problem is that they are very harmless at home anyway. They won only one so far and this was rather lucky against Gladbach 2-1. Sure with one of the best offensive they are able to win games but on the other side the defense is very weak and conceded a lot. This can be because the players are very young and inexperienced and this needs time. Also an interview from Coach Gisdol was not the best as he mentioned that this bad period can hold longer what gives a wide range for the players for excuses if success fails in the coming matches.

Both advanced in Cup and could take some self confidence and now they face each other in league. I think winless home team from Frankfurt has some good arguments on their side to get the first win. They were in some matches close but in the end they were not able to hold a lead. Maybe this can be the right opponent according to their awful defense play at the moment. They are conceding for free at the moment and Coach Gisdol mentioned that this maybe this year can not be stopped. Therefore it is not much trust in his defense although they came from a win at Schalke but Schalke made a lot of gifts to them. I expect a close match here and both are for sure score, therefore the home win and Over are good plays in my eyes for this game.
