The Matchday 22 Bundesliga clash between Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Monchengladbach will take place on 14 February at the Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt am Main. Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Monchengladbach: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Eintracht Frankfurt
Eintracht Frankfurt picked up their first points under Albert Riera. However, last round’s draw with Union (1:1) extended the club’s winless run in the league to seven matches (four draws, three defeats). There has been a slight improvement in terms of goals conceded: prior to facing the Berlin side, the hosts had shipped at least two goals in five straight Bundesliga fixtures. In attack, things have been more consistent – the team have scored in eight consecutive matches. In the standings, Eintracht Frankfurt sit eighth.
- Both teams to score has landed in Eintracht Frankfurt’s last seven league matches.
- On home soil, the team have avoided defeat in five of their last seven Bundesliga games (three wins, two draws).
- In five of their previous six home matches in this competition, the club have not scored more than one goal.

Kauã Santos – Rasmus Kristensen, Robin Koch, Arthur Theate – Mario Gotze, Ritsu Doan, Hugo Larsson, Nathaniel Brown, Oscar Hojlund – Arnaud Kalimuendo, Fares Chaibi.
Defender Elias Baum, as well as forwards Jonathan Burkardt, Younes Ebnoutalib and Michy Batshuayi, and midfielder Can Uzun are unavailable due to injuries. Midfielder Oscar Hojlund is suspended.
Borussia Monchengladbach
Borussia Monchengladbach took points off Bayer at home last time out (1:1). Even so, the club have now gone five league matches without a win (three draws, two defeats). What is more, across that run, the visitors have not scored more than once in any game. Under Eugen Polanski, the away side are dangerously close to the relegation zone, with a five-point cushion. It is also worth noting that, in terms of goals conceded on the road (13), the club are among the top three in the league – bettered only by Borussia Dortmund (12) and Bayern Munich (9).
- A goal in both halves has been scored in five of Borussia Monchengladbach’s previous seven Bundesliga matches.
- Away from home, the team have avoided defeat in five of their last seven league fixtures (three wins, two draws).
- In five of Borussia Monchengladbach’s previous seven away matches in this competition, at least one of the two teams failed to score.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Monchengladbach: Match Prediction
The home side focused on their defending in the last round. It appears the new head coach has decided to address the team’s most problematic area first. Albert Riera managed to achieve a small success – Eintracht Frankfurt conceded only once. However, that approach did not help the attacking output: just one shot on target and an xG of 0.15. Moreover, at home, even before the Spanish coach arrived, Eintracht Frankfurt had not scored more than one goal in five of their last six Bundesliga matches.
Borussia Monchengladbach have lost only to two teams from the European places in their last seven away league matches. They also only allowed those opponents to score more than once. It would be difficult for the hosts to find gaps in such a defence anyway, and if Eintracht Frankfurt again focus on playing in their own half, it is unlikely we will see a high-scoring display from the home side.
Prediction: Eintracht Frankfurt, under 1.5 goals
* Each team’s starting XI is based on its line-up from the previous match in this competition.
