THE LOWDOWN

GLADBACH NOT OUT OF THE WOODS YET

Borussia Monchengladbach need to be very careful heading into this final couple of league matches. They just cannot secure three points lately, recording back-to-back draws after losing against both Borussia Dortmund and Hoffenheim and this leaves them still looking over their shoulder.

As it stands, Gladbach are four points above the relegation play-off place which is currently occupied by Mainz. Victory against Eintracht would guarantee their safety, so they have no bigger motivation to come out of the traps firing in this encounter.

THREE POINTS GUARANTEES EINTRACHT SIXTH PLACE

Despite having lost three of their last four in the Bundesliga, Eintracht Frankfurt are still in pole position to secure a sixth-place finish and Europa League football next season. They sit four points clear of Freiburg with two games left to play so a win here would be enough to finish the job.

It’s been a real slump of late though for Eintracht, whose backline have come under the pump in particular. They’ve conceded 11 goals across their last four fixtures, including five most recently at home to Bayer Leverkusen, whom they simply could not handle.

THE PREDICTION

When considering that Borussia Monchengladbach aren’t yet safe from relegation, they can’t afford to sleepwalk into this match. If they can start well then Eintracht Frankfurt, low on confidence themselves following recent results could be in for an uncomfortable afternoon. It’s important to factor in the defensive fragilities of both sides leading into this one and the likelihood is that we will see goals across the 90 minutes. Back over 2.5 of them to be scored, regardless of who comes out on top.

TIP: OVER 2.5 GOALS
