Eintracht Frankfurt vs Darmstadt Prediction and Betting Tips | August 20, 2023

Eintracht Frankfurt get their 2023-24 Bundesliga campaign underway when they host Darmstadt at the Deutsche Bank Park on Sunday (August 20).

Frankfurt cruised through the opening round of the DFB Pokal, hammering amateur side Lokomotive Leipzig 7-0 on Sunday.

That followed an unconvincing pre-season campaign, where they thrashed Braunfels 15-1 in their opening friendlies before failing to win their next four outings.

Dino Toppmoller’s men will look to pick up from where they dropped off last weekend as they return home, where they're unbeaten in the Bundesliga this year.

Darmstadt, meanwhile, were condemned to a first-round exit from the DFB-Pokal, as they fell to a shock 4-0 loss against German amateur side Homburg on Monday. Torsten Lieberknecht’s side are winless in six games across competitions since a 10-0 win over Bad Konig in their pre-season opener on July 8.

While Darmstadt will look to recover from Monday’s defeat and get their league campaign off and running, they have struggled on the road, losing their last three competitive games since May.
