Eintracht Frankfurt vs Monchengladbach Betting Tips

Borussia Monchengladbach suffered a setback with their defeat to Borussia Dortmund just before the lockdown, but they are still very much in the picture up the table.

They bounced back to winning ways before football’s suspension too and come out of lockdown with a near full-strength squad available.
Eintracht Frankfurt, on the other hand, peaked in early November with their thrashing of Bayern Munich.

It has been virtually all downhill since, with nine defeats in their last 14 Bundesliga matches and a heavy Europa League loss in their most recent game in March too.

They are out of the European picture so far as qualification from the league is concerned and look too far back to make any real shot at qualification.
Consequently, there is a lot more riding on this game for Monchengladbach and if they can start their return to action with all three points it lays an important platform.

Marcus Thuram and Alassane Plea have supplied goals and assists up front and Lars Stindl adds experience to their front line too.
If those attacking players can tick, they can take advantage of Eintracht Frankfurt’s vulnerable defence and record an important three points.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Monchengladbach Recommended bets with odds

Borussia Monchengladbach are favourites heading into this game and can be backed at 27/20 with Ladbrokes to do just that.

Both teams to score – as has been the case in recent Borussia matches – is a best price of 8/13 with Bet365, however.

Over 2.5 goals will return 8/11 with Bet365 and 888sport.

Alassane Plea can be backed at a best price of 2/1 to score at any time, meanwhile.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Monchengladbach Prediction

Eintracht Frankfurt’s form has deserted them since November and while the break may have offered a chance to refresh, they are outsiders going into this match.

Only long-term absentee Marco Russ remains sidelined for Eintracht Frankfurt, and lockdown has improved his hopes of featuring this season too. Gelson Fernandes, Bas Dost and Lucas Torro are all back in contention after absences before the break.

Eintracht Key Players

Filip Kostic – Far and away Frankfurt’s most creative player this season, scoring 12 times and laying on a further 17 assists too.
Andre Silva – The Milan loanee scored twice in Frankfurt’s 2-2 draw with Salzburg at the end of February and again in their cup win at home to Werder Bremen.
Danny da Costa – The wing-back remains a good creative source, setting up eight goals so far this season as well as scoring three of his own.

Eintracht Frankfurt’s last two matches before lockdown both ended in heavy defeats. They suffered a 4-0 away defeat to Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga before a 3-0 loss at home to Basel in the UEFA Europa League.

Eintracht Frankfurt Predicted Starting Line-up

M'gladbach Team News

Only Denis Zakaria is unavailable for Borussia Monchengladbach as they return to action. Lars Stindl dropped to the bench as Gladbach got back to winning ways before lockdown, but changes could otherwise be minimal.

M'gladbach Key Players

Marcus Thuram – Leads their goalscoring charts with ten to his name so far this season, as well as topping the assist list with nine.
Alassane Plea – Forged a good partnership with Thuram up top, scoring eight goals and assisting a further eight this season too.
Lars Stindl – The experienced attacking midfielder scored on his last start before lockdown against Borussia Dortmund.

M'gladbach Team Form

Borussia Monchengladbach bounced back from a 2-1 home defeat to Borussia Dortmund prior to lockdown, in which Lars Stindl scored their goal, by beating Koln in their most recent game. Breel Embolo opened the scoring and an own goal was enough for a 2-1 win – Gladbach’s third in five games.

Borussia Monchengladbach Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line up: 4-2-3-1

Dismal form since November means Eintracht Frankfurt look out of the European equation as Bundesliga football returns. At the top of the table, however, Borussia Monchengladbach are not only fourth in the table but they are only six points off top. Their title hopes are not over with nine games still to play and they will be keen to restart with a win to lay a platform for a successful run-in.
Eintracht Frankfurt lost nine of their last 14 Bundesliga matches before lockdown, winning just three league games since thrashing Bayern Munich back in November.
