Eintracht Frankfurt vs RB Leipzig Prediction

RB Leipzig have so far failed to meet expectations under Jesse Marsch's tutelage and he will be desperate for a win on Saturday. A match against Frankfurt represents the perfect opportunity to do so, and the visitors should be able to secure a win away from home.

We predict that Leipzig will beat Frankfurt by a narrow margin.

Prediction: Eintracht Frankfurt 1-2 RB Leipzig
