Game Preview
The Bundesliga is returning to play this weekend with a pair of additional games. On Saturday at the Red Bull Arena Leipzig, Eintracht Frankfurt squares up against a formidable RB Leipzig team in a pivotal match.
Frankfurt had a rough start to 2023, losing away to Aberdeen and Leverkusen without answering before pulling off a stunning 5-1 victory at home against Bayern Munich and a thrilling 2-1 comeback victory over Borussia Monchengladbach in their most recent match. The Eagles defeated Monchengladbach with two goals in second-half final minutes to take maximum points and move up to 6th place in the Bundesliga, although they are still 9 points below their opponents Leipzig in 4th on Saturday. Since then, Dino Toppmoller’s team has had a poor beginning to the New Year after losing 5-2 to Freiburg in a friendly last weekend. The Frankfurt manager acknowledged during the game that his team needs more reinforcements prior to the transfer window closing in January. Frankfurt, who have dropped all 4 of their previous away games and drawn all 3 of their shots on goal, will next travel to Leipzig. They have also not triumphed in any of their previous 8 trips to the Red Bull Arena.
RB Leipzig won 4 consecutive matches across all competitions at the beginning of December, so there were plenty of good things to take away from the celebration period. However, in their final 2023 encounter, they had to settle for a point after a 1-1 tie with Werder Bremen. Following that, Stuttgart overtook them for 3rd place, and Marco Rose’s team is currently in 4th place in the standings, 9 points below leaders Bayer Leverkusen, though they still have a 6-point advantage over fifth-place Borussia Dortmund. Since then, Die Roten Bullen have started the New Year on a positive note after defeating St Gallen 1-0 during a friendly the previous weekend thanks to a goal from Xaver Schlager in the 3rd minute. Leipzig will be eager to get the full 3 points versus a Frankfurt team that they have defeated in their last 2 meetings, as many victories as in their prior 13 games combined, since they have two difficult matches coming up against Leverkusen and Stuttgart.
