Eintracht Frankfurt are the Bundesliga’s most in-form team heading into matchday 23. On Friday night, the Eagles, fresh off a 2-1 win against Bayern Munich, will visit Werder Bremen with the chance to move into third place in the league. Adi Hutter’s team are playing brilliant football and have an outside shot at winning the Bundesliga. Just seven points separate them with Bayern Munich and that lead could be cut to four this weekend.

To find Werder Bremen in the current standings, you will need to scroll down to 12th in the division. Coach Florian Kohfeldt’s team have taken 23 points from 21 matchdays and are five points above Arminia Bielefeld – who occupy the relegation playoff place.

Eintracht Frankfurt are unbeaten in five straight league games against Werder Bremen, yet only two of those games ended in wins. The reverse fixture between the clubs played at the Deutsch Bank Park earlier this season finished 1-1. Josh Sargent opened the scoring for Werder Bremen with a 51st-minute goal. Andre Silva equalised 14 minutes later. Neither team were able to find the winner.

Werder Bremen are winless in their last three matches in the Bundesliga. Kohfeldt is desperate for his side to win and avoid a second straight season of playing in the relegation playoff game against the Bundesliga 2’s third-place finisher. Can the River Islanders get a win versus the Bundesliga’s most in-form side?

Werder Bremen vs Eintracht Frankfurt Betting Odds

Werder Bremen took eight points from their last 18 on offer. They scored just seven goals over the course of those six matches, but only conceded seven times to opponents. Leading sportsbooks have the River Islanders as underdog going up against Eintracht Frankfurt. Werder Bremen are at odds of 7/2 to win at full-time against the Eagles.

Hutter’s team are playing brilliant football at both ends of the pitch. Eintracht Frankfurt took 16 points from 18 possible, scoring a brilliant 17 times. The defence played equally as brilliant with just six goals allowed. Against Bayern Munich, the Eagles scored twice in the first half thanks to Daichi Kamada and Amin Younes. They conceded just one goal to Bayern Munich, showing just how far this team have come under Hutter since the start of the season.

Eintracht Frankfurt are at odds of 5/6 to win away from home on Friday night. The Eagles are five-games unbeaten away from the Deutsch Bank Park with four of those five games ending in wins. The club’s last two games away from home were victories.

The Eagles are unbeaten in five straight games against Werder Bremen. They went away to Werder Bremen last season and claimed a 3-0 away victory. The team are far better this season and should improve on their form away in Bremen on Friday night. The teams are at odds of 3/1 to draw at the end of full-time.

Werder Bremen vs Eintracht Frankfurt Team News

Kohfeldt goes into the game with just two players on his injury list for the weekend. Patrick Erras is ruled out with a hip injury and it will keep him sidelined until March. Luca Plogmann has a tendon injury but could return to the club on Friday night.

Werder Bremen are led in goals by the combination of Leonardo Bittencourt and Niclas Fullkrug. The duo has tallied eight goals – four apiece. The River Islanders have scored 24 goals, the sixth-fewest in the Bundesliga. Getting goals against an in-form Eintracht Frankfurt may be very difficult on Friday night.

Hutter has just one name on his suspension and injury list. Evan N’Dicka is suspended for the fixture and will play no part in the game. The defender has appeared in 12 games and scored two goals. He will return next week for Eintracht Frankfurt.

Eintracht Frankfurt are led in goals by former AC Milan striker Andre Silva. He has found a home at the club but is being linked with a transfer to Manchester United next summer. It would cost the Red Devils around £30 million. Eintracht Frankfurt previously showed they are not afraid to sell their top striker the following summer. They did it previously with Luka Jovic, Sebastien Haller, and Ante Rebic.

Both teams scored in the reverse fixture this season as the game ended 1-1. Eight of the last 10 matches between Werder Bremen and Eintracht Frankfurt finished with both sides finding the back of the net. Five of Eintracht Frankfurt’s last six games in the Bundesliga finished with both teams scoring goals. Despite the team collecting wins and being in the top four, they are conceding goals to teams. Hutter’s side are outscoring those opponents.

Andre Silva to score anytime @ 13/10 - BET NOW

Andre Silva has scored 19 goals in 20 games this season in all competitions. The striker has bagged 18 league goals in 20 games. Silva has been brilliant, but the team showed they can win when he doesn’t score. Last week’s game against Bayern Munich saw Silva miss the game due to a back injury. The team still won 2-1. Silva could be back on Friday night and hungry for goals.

Over 2.5 goals scored @ 8/11 - BET NOW

Five of Eintracht Frankfurt’s last six games in the Bundesliga ended with over 2.5 goals scored. The Eagles are unbeaten in their last six matches and goals have been tallied in each of those games. Just one of the team’s last six games saw fewer than 2.5 goals scored. That was a 2-0 win versus Koln. Two of Werder Bremen’s last four games in the Bundesliga finished with more than 2.5 goals scored. Friday night’s game should see goals scored with both sides finding the back of the net.

Eintracht Frankfurt are in great form and should continue that this weekend versus an inconsistent Werder Bremen. The Eagles can move into the top three with a victory for at least a few hours. Wolfsburg, the current third-place team, do not play until Saturday.
