- Eintracht Frankfurt have won 6, drawn 2 and lost just 4 of their 12 Bundesliga home games this season.
- FC Heidenheim 1846 have won 1, drawn 1 and lost 10 of 12 games on the road.
- Eintracht Frankfurt’s Jonathan Burkardt has 9 goals in 13 Bundesliga appearances.
Hoffenheim hangover over for Frankfurt
The last head-to-head meeting between Eintracht Frankfurt and FC Heidenheim 1846 finished 1-1 at the Voith Arena back in December, but Frankfurt will like their chances of winning Saturday’s return leg at Deutsche Bank Park.
Eintracht Frankfurt are having a good season in 7th place in the Bundesliga with 35 points from 25 games, while Heidenheim 1846 are rock bottom in 18th after collecting just 14 points in 25 games.
Despite that, the home side are strong favourites at 1.57 for the 3 points on Saturday as they have won six of their 12 home games in the Bundesliga, while Heidenheim have struggled on the road.
But Albert Riera has brought an energy and tactical versatility to Frankfurt’s football since his appointment as head coach in February 2026 that has helped them win 2, draw 2 and lose 1 of their last 5 Bundesliga games.
Heidenheim have hit a rough patch
Heidenheim have gone in the opposite direction to the Eagles recently, failing to win in their last five Bundesliga matches (4 defeats and 1 draw). They are on a 2-match losing streak and have lost on their previous 2 away trips to Frankfurt, so it’s a tough ask for them to get a result on Saturday.
Frankfurt are a high-tempo, vertical team with an aggressive counter-press that seeks to stretch the opponents and get behind the defence with wide play and one-touch interchanges.
Heidenheim are a compact, pragmatic side that mark players man-to-man and try to frustrate teams with a more expansive style. They seek their chances in transition and through direct play to their forwards and target man.
The visitors will stay compact to try and frustrate the Eagles, but won’t be able to outplay or outwork them in terms of possession and creating chances.
Eagles to soar over Heidenheim
Frankfurt have conceded 18 goals in 12 home Bundesliga matches, which is an average of 1.50 goals per game and we are expecting them to record a comfortable win over Heidenheim.
But the visitors have only scored 9 goals in 12 Bundesliga away matches, so a Frankfurt clean sheet is probably the best bet in the ‘Both Teams to Score - No’ market, which is priced at 2.15.
Jonathan Burkardt leads the line for Frankfurt with 9 goals in 13 Bundesliga appearances and can score goals as he has a sharp finish and is very mobile, which will help Frankfurt to break down a deep defensive block. Heidenheim's Luca Kerber has scored 2 goals in his last 5 games.
The ‘Over 2.5 goals’ market is priced at 1.52, suggesting that there is a good chance of a goal-fest. But we believe Heidenheim’s lack of firepower away from home means Frankfurt will get the win and shut out their opponents.
