Frankfurt to keep Champions League hopes alive at Schalke
3190

On Saturday afternoon, Eintracht Frankfurt will look to keep their hopes of Champions League football alive as they visit hapless Schalke.

Schalke have picked up just 13 points this season from their 32 Bundesliga games, picking up just two league wins all season.

They will have to do some major rebuilding under difficult circumstances this summer to have any chance of a quick return to the German top-flight next season.

Unsurprisingly, Schalke head into this game with a woeful recent record in the Bundesliga, as they have lost seven of their previous eight matches in the German top-flight.

Conceding goals has been at the heart of the Royal Blues problems this season, as they have conceded 80 goals this season and at least two goals in three of their last four Bundesliga outings.

Schalke have also lost six of their last eight league games at the Veltins Arena, having failed to score in five of their last seven home outings in the Bundesliga.

Eintracht Frankfurt have been one of the surprise packages of the Bundesliga campaign, in the top four for much of the campaign.

However, things have gone slightly downhill for the Eagles in recent weeks, as Adi Hutter’s team has now won just once in their last four games, having experienced potentially highly costly defeats against Monchengladbach and Bayer Leverkusen.

The poor results have seen the Eagles fall to fifth-place, a point behind Dortmund who now occupy fourth-place in the last Champions League spot.

A lack of clean sheets has had a hand in Frankfurt’s recent poor form, as Hutter’s team has kept just one clean sheet in their last 11 outings in the Bundesliga.

That recent defensive record may not be a major surprise, as no team in the Bundesliga’s top-six has conceded more goals than the visitors.

Their away form has been a major cause of concern of late, as they have won just one of their last five away matches on their travels in the German top-flight.

Forebet predicts that the visitors will record a victory in a high-scoring clash to keep their Champions League hopes alive.
