- RB Leipzig have won their two Bundesliga home games in 2026/2027 (W2, L0) and conceded no goals in both of them
- Frankfurt have scored six goals in two Bundesliga away games in 2026/2027, avoiding defeat on both occasions
Leipzig to hold the edge in top-six clash
Two teams looking for consistency will come head-to-head at Red Bull Arena in Leipzig on Saturday when RB Leipzig face Eintracht Frankfurt.
Die Roten Bullen have won two and lost three of their last five in all competitions while Die Adler are in decent shape with two wins, two draws and a defeat in their last five in all comps.
So, it is likely to be a tight game at Red Bull Arena and, although the home side are odds-on favourites with the bookies at 27/50, Frankfurt can give it a real go with a solid 77/20 price-tag ahead of the draw at 73/20.
There is good reason to doubt the home team's dominance in this contest and the draw could be the best bet for some, but there is also enough about both to suggest they can both get on the scoresheet and make a game of it.
Frankfurt can hurt the hosts on the counter-attack
Leipzig have not yet conceded in two home games this season, but Frankfurt have hit six goals in their two away trips in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 and will be looking to get on the front foot.
Leipzig coach Martin Demichelis appears to be sticking with the high-energy, high-pressing 4-3-3 system that served them well last season.
The problem for the hosts is that, at some point, they will try to pin Frankfurt back and when that happens, Frankfurt's two wingbacks should be able to get forward with plenty of space to run into and cause problems.
Adi Huetter's side have been fast in transition themselves in recent games, setting up compact three-at-the-back structures and counter-pressing to keep the game fast-paced.
That should allow Frankfurt to keep up with Leipzig's intense pressing game and turn the game into a lively chess match. Both teams to score looks the sharp alternative to the main market, although BTTS Yes is way too short at 9/25 and Over 2.5 goals at 3/10 is a better bet.
Goals at both ends look likely
With Leipzig keeping a pair of clean sheets in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 and Frankfurt having scored six in their first two away games, we could see a game where each team grabs a couple.
Leipzig have had the better of this fixture in recent seasons, but Frankfurt have failed to win any of the last two in the Bundesliga 2025/2026 and Leipzig won both of those games - including a 3-1 away win five months ago.
Frankfurt are coming off a 2-2 draw with SC Freiburg in the Bundesliga and a 4-0 friendly win over TSV Eintracht Braunschweig, having scored 13 goals across their previous five games.
Younes Ebnoutalib has been their main goal threat in the Bundesliga with four goals in four games, but Jonathan Burkardt has chipped in with four in Frankfurt's last five.
Leipzig's Antonio Nusa leads the Bundesliga scoring charts with two goals in four games, so he looks good to find the net on Saturday.
Die Adler will make it tough for them, but Leipzig should have enough to edge it at home even if it isn't a stroll in the park.
