Eintracht Frankfurt vs Werder Bremen
Deutsche Bank Park forms the backdrop for an exciting Bundesliga showdown between Eintracht Frankfurt and Werder Bremen.
Confidence is at an all-time high around the Eintracht Frankfurt camp after a haul of 20 Bundesliga points saw them record their joint-highest points tally after ten games of the ‘three points for a win’ era since 1995! Dino Toppmoller’s side headed into November’s international break in high spirits, buoyed by a four-game winning streak in all competitions, including a nerve-shredding 3-2 win at Stuttgart last time out. Frankfurt’s devastating frontline, spearheaded by the division’s joint-top scorer Omar Marmoush, has netted an impressive 26 league goals this season, with only Bayern Munich (33) bettering that haul. A disastrous 5-1 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen in early May remains Frankfurt’s last loss on home turf, with ‘Die Adler’ going unbeaten in nine consecutive outings at Deutsche Bank Park since (W6, D3).
On the other hand, Werder Bremen bounced back from a 4-2 loss at Borussia Monchengladbach on their last Bundesliga travel with a 2-1 home win against newcomers Holstein Kiel on the stroke of the international break, climbing to eighth in the standings, only two points adrift of the current top four. Ole Werner’s men have been impressive on the road this season. Before the abovementioned slump at Gladbach, they had won three consecutive away league matches, massively contributing to their outstanding top-flight start. Moreover, only Bayern Munich’s 23-goal haul betters Werder’s 13 away league goals, suggesting they’re well-position to defy a disappointing average of 0.5 goals per game across their last four visits to Frankfurt (D2, L2).
