RB Leipzig hosts Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday in what feels just a little bit nervy around the edges, largely because both sides know exactly how much this could change the look of the table. With four points between the two, that’s certainly close enough to induce a little bit of anxiety for the hosts. The bookmakers lean toward Leipzig, although Frankfurt’s travelling form has quietly improved. You’ll find a closer look at both sides below, along with the usual team updates and a few betting ideas.

Eintracht Frankfurt
DFB Pokal
These two sides have met nine times since 2022, with the vast majority coming in the Bundesliga. Leipzig have edged the head-to-head record with four wins, supplemented by two draws, as Frankfurt claimed three wins of their own. Their matches seldom explode, yet they also do not lack for goals, at a clip of just shy of three per game.
RB Leipzig team overview
Leipzig sit second at the moment with 26 points after 12 rounds, which sounds solid, although the eight point gap to Bayern feels like a mountain no one wants to climb in December.
Still, compared to last season’s tally at the same stage, there is improvement. The tricky part is their reliance on the Red Bull Arena, where they’ve been perfect with five wins from five, while their away form looks a bit fragile.
Ole Werner’s group head into the weekend boosted by a tidy 3-1 win over Magdeburg in the DFB Pokal round of 16 and by back-to-back home victories against Frankfurt.
That said, the injury list is long, with Henrichs, Gebel, Rômulo, Bitshiabu, Ouédraogo, Baku and Timo Werner all unavailable.

Eintracht Frankfurt team overview
Frankfurt, meanwhile, have not hit the heady heights of last season and are two points behind where they stood after a dozen games a year ago.
It has been an unfriendly campaign for Die Adler in Europe too as heavy defeats to Atletico Madrid, Liverpool and Atalanta have highlighted some defensive frailties. Their league has been better in recent weeks though.
Dino Toppmöller’s side have managed to string a six match unbeaten run together, even if four of those matches were draws.
Jonathan Burkardt will miss out with a calf issue, and Hugo Larsson won’t feature either due to a muscle injury.

Prediction
Leipzig appear to be on course for a 2-1 victory here, with their home record still perfect following five league matches in the Red Bull Arena. Werner’s team have also triumphed in their past two home games with Frankfurt. The visitors will be taking a six-game unbeaten run into the match, but their defensive vulnerability indicates they could face trouble trying to keep Leipzig’s attackers at bay.
Three reasons we expect under 3.5 goals in this game
- Three of Leipzig’s five home league games this season have ended with under 3.5 goals.
- Only one of the last five league games of Frankfurt produced more than two goals.
- None of the last 11 meetings between Leipzig and Frankfurt at this ground produced more than three goals.
