Eintracht Frankfurt vs Hamburger SV Betting Tips and Predictions

Eintracht Frankfurt have taken 7 points from the last 5 games but have slipped down in the bottom half of the table to 15th place with 2 losses in the last 2 games, just 1 point above the playoff relegation spot. However, Frankfurt haven’t lost against Hamburg in any of their previous 7 meetings (not since the 2010/2011 season when Frankfurt were relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga).

Hamburger SV have suffered from inconsistency throughout the season and have picked up only 4 points from the last 5. They are, however, coming into this game off the back of a good 3-2 win at home to Borussia Mönchengladbach last Sunday which leaves them sitting in 11th place (their best position in the league at this point in the season since the 2012/13 season).

REASON FOR BETTING TIPS

Frankfurt have lost the last 2 games conceding 7 goals and Hamburg haven’t kept a clean sheet since late October last year. Striker Alexander Meier who joined Frankfurt from Hamburg way back in 2004 has scored 12 of Frankfurt’s 27 goals this season with 2 goals in the last 2 games. He’ll be looking to make that 3 in 3 against his former club and help Frankfurt move onto an 8 game unbeaten streak against Hamburg. Both Teams to Score seems very likely given the teams recent form with an Eintracht Frankfurt home win 2-1 at 8/1 extending their unbeaten run.
