THE PREDICTION
A late equaliser salvaged a point for Eintracht Frankfurt at home to Mainz last Sunday but they were nevertheless ousted from fourth place by Borussia Dortmund, a position they have held since February. Thankfully the fixture list has been kind to them and a trip to already relegated Schalke offers the Eagles a good opportunity to move back into the top four and put pressure on Dortmund, who do not play until Sunday. Eintracht have only won one of their last five away outings but they have failed to score in just one of the last 13, while at the other end they have managed just two clean sheets on the road all season. Schalke are down and out but they have at least scored in four of their last six games, and Frankfurt do leave gaps when they attack, so consider an away win with both teams to score here.
