Borussia Mönchengladbach vs Eintracht Frankfurt Preview
- Tournament: Bundesliga
- Date: Saturday, February 08
- Kick-off Time: 05:30 PM GMT
- Venue: Borussia-Park, Mönchengladbach, North Rhine-Westphalia.
Third-positioned Eintracht Frankfurt are set to be hosted by Borussia Mönchengladbach for their upcoming Bundesliga 2024-25 game. This is the 21st German top-tier game for both sides this season. This one’s a critical game, as a victory would help the hosts, who have won their last two games to climb up the ladder, most probably into the top five.
Borussia Mönchengladbach won their last two Bundesliga games, and a win here will mean three wins in a row, which would push the side into the top six zones, brightening their chances of European competition next season. They have 30 points from 20 games and are at seventh position.
Eintracht Frankfurt are placed third and have 38 points from their 20 games, which in fact is quite lower than the first two. They need consecutive wins here if they wish to give a tough challenge to giants Bayern Munich and defending champions Bayer Leverkusen. In the last two games they faced draws, so they must be desperate for a win to bag a full three points.

Key Players to Watch in Borussia Mönchengladbach vs Eintracht Frankfurt
Tomáš Čvančara (Borussia Mönchengladbach)
The 24-year-old centre-forward has been struggling to get both minutes and goals in the league. In Bundesliga 2024-25 so far, he has been a part of 17 games, but managed to play only 24% of the minutes and scored only a goal. His performance in the last five games have been no better with just one shot on target, and an xG of 0.2. With three forwards sidelined, he is expected to be an automatic choice, but scoring will be a tough deal for him. If he manages to find the back of the net even once, it might boost his confidence.
Hugo Ekitike (Eintracht Frankfurt)
The French striker has been really good this season. His performance in the last five games has been good too, with four goals, including one against giants Borussia Dortmund. He has an xG of 4.5 in the last five, and his lethal form must be put to use in this one to get the team the winner.
The 22-year-old has 11 goals and three assists in Bundesliga 2024-25, after playing just 19 games. This can be an opportunity for him to increase his tally, with the hosts likely to be weak in the back line with just three men protecting the zone.
Borussia Mönchengladbach vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction
Eintracht Frankfurt might have a tough game, away from home, but they might edge past Borussia Mönchengladbach as they have a better form and slightly stronger side.
Predicted Score: Borussia Mönchengladbach 3-4 Eintracht Frankfurt
