RB Leipzig vs Eintracht Frankfurt Betting Tips: RB Leipzig to Win / Over 1.5 Team Goals

RB Leipzig will be entering their first competitive match of the new year with high confidence, given their impressive form that saw them end 2023 without a loss in five games played in December.

Currently ranked fourth in the Bundesliga and trailing nine points behind the leading team, Leverkusen, RB had a rewarding festive season, garnering 10 out of a possible 12 points prior to the winter hiatus. Marco Rose’s team, exhibiting exceptional performance on their home ground, have remained undefeated in 12 Bundesliga matches at the RB Arena, with ten victories marked during this period.

RB has performed impressively in their last four home games, scoring a total of 14 goals. However, they only managed to keep a clean sheet in one of these matches. In fact, Rose’s team has been struggling with their defense all season. The energy drink-sponsored team has conceded at least one goal in their last 11 competitive matches. Consequently, both teams have scored in each of their last nine games.

The visiting Eintracht team, struggling with form before the winter shutdown, travels east. They suffered six losses and managed only two wins in their last eight matches. However, one of their victories was a notable 5:1 win against the champions, Bayern.

Dino Toppmöller’s team performed particularly poorly on the road in December, losing their last four away games. In the Bundesliga, Eintracht has only managed two victories in their last 19 away games since November 2022.

Given Frankfurt´s dreadful away form, and RB´s dominance at home, we can be confident of Marco Rose´s side emerging with another three points on Saturday. RB scored at least two goals in all five previous home wins against Eintracht, and I’m confident we will see a repeat outcome this weekend.
