Wolfsburg – Eintracht Frankfurt Betting Tip, Prediction & Odds (5.3.2023)
The battle for Champions League qualification continues with another exciting match in Round 23, and Wolfsburg hope to grab three points in front of the home fans and make some ground on Eintracht Frankfurt.
Wolfsburg vs. Eintracht Frankfurt: Initial Situation
Wolfsburg are seventh in the German Bundesliga with 33 points (W9, D6, L7) and a 40:29 goal difference. The Wolves trail the fourth-placed RB Leipzig by nine points. On the other side, Eintracht Frankfurt are sixth with 38 points (W11, D5, L6) and a 43:31 goal difference.
Wolfsburg Stats & Form
The Wolves broke out of their funk last weekend, beating FC Koln 2-0 on the road. After going winless in five straight outings in all competitions (four losses and a draw), the Wolves took an early lead at RheinEnergieStadion and never looked back. Now, the Wolves hope to snap a two-game home skid. In their previous two outings at home, Wolfsburg have lost to Bayern 4-2 and RB Leipzig 3-0.
Both Maximilian Arnold and Yannick Gerhardt found the back of the net against FC Koln, increasing their season tally to five goals apiece. Ridle Baku has also scored five goals so far this season, while Paulo Otavio and Patrick Wimmer have recorded five assists each.
Eintracht Frankfurt Stats & Form
The Eagles have lost two straight contests. After a 2-0 home defeat to Napoli in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16, the Eagles suffered a 2-1 road loss against RB Leipzig in Bundesliga this past Saturday. They are winless in five consecutive league games away from home, earning three draws in that stretch.
Randal Kolo Muani leads the way for Eintracht Frankfurt with 15 goals and 14 assists in 32 appearances in all competitions this season. Daichi Kamada has accounted for 13 goals and five assists across 31 apps, while Jesper Lindstrom has added nine goals and four dishes in 30 appearances. The Eagles are without Junior Dina Ebimbe (two goals and an assist), while Djibril Sow (three goals) is doubtful to play against the Wolves.
Wolfsburg – Eintracht Frankfurt: Head-to-Head
Wolfsburg have won two straight matches over Eintracht Frankfurt, including a 1-0 road victory in their first meeting of the season. Still, the Wolves have only won one of their previous five home contests against the Eagles along with a couple of draws and losses.
Wolfsburg – Eintracht Frankfurt Odds
The bookmakers are looking for a tight battle at Volkswagen Arena, and I can’t argue, as it’s tough to separate these two teams. Both Wolfsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt have been inconsistent lately, and the Eagles are listed as slight favorites only because they are playing at home. Both Teams to Score YES sits at 1.70 on BetVictor Sportsbook, and we should see a few goals in this game.
Whereas Eintracht Frankfurt would be satisfied with a draw from this match, Wolfsburg have to win in order to keep pace with the top four teams in Bundesliga. The Wolves will push forward in numbers, leaving a lot of space for counter-attacks, so I’m expecting both teams to find the back of the net. The odds are not attractive, though 1.70 seems a fair prize. Wolfsburg have conceded seven goals over their last two home matches, and six of Eintracht Frankfurt’s last seven games on the road have seen both teams score.
