Eintracht Frankfurt vs Hoffenheim Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 31st August 2024

Eintracht Frankfurt enjoy home advantage, when visitors Hoffenheim swing by on Saturday for a clash in the Bundesliga. The former will be looking to make that home advantage count.

Eintracht Frankfurt came away from their premiere match of the season with nothing to show for it and hope to make amends in the upcoming match.

Eintracht Frankfurt will be hopeful of getting on the board after an unlucky opening game to the new Bundesliga campaign which left them empty-handed.

While the hosts will battle for their first points of the season this coming Saturday, Hoffenheim will aim to handle the upcoming game in a similar trend as their opening match of the season.

Eintracht Frankfurt go into their next Bundesliga match, scoring a humble average of one per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane ten times, while conceding 20. That amounts to an average of two per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring one times.

Hoffenheim are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 25 goals in the past ten outings for an average of 2.5 goals a game. Their opponents scored a total of 21 goals, and while Hoffenheim claimed one clean sheets, they conceded an average of 2.1 goals per match.

Eintracht Frankfurt had a good reading on Hoffenheim in their last two meetings, which they won by 3-1 and 3-1, respectively.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Hoffenheim Prediction

Eintracht Frankfurt Form

Eintracht Frankfurt went through their last three matches with a 2-2 draw against RB Leipzig, a 1-4 win against Eintracht Braunschweig and a 2-0 defeat against Borussia Dortmund. Eintracht Frankfurt claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the Bundesliga. They also drew three and lost one, scored ten goals and conceded ten.

In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly Hoffenheim might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the Bundesliga looks the most realistic scenario.

Hoffenheim Form

In their last three matches, Hoffenheim beat Bayern Munich 4-2, drew 1-1 with Wuerzburger Kickers and beat Holstein Kiel by 3-2. Hoffenheim won twice, while also recording zero draws, and four defeats in their last six away matches in the Bundesliga. The scoreline from these matches says 14 goals conceded and 14 scored.

Hoffenheim go into the season with the clear aim of a top half finish, and if they can build some momentum early on, perhaps even throw their hat in the ring for a place in an international tournament.

Head-to-head encounters tend to bring out the best in both sides, and we fully expect the trend to continue, when Eintracht Frankfurt renew Hoffenheim their acquaintance.
