Date/Time: Sunday 17^th February 2019 (Kick-off 2:30 PM)

On Sunday afternoon, Eintracht Frankfurt host Monchengladbach in a game that could prove pivotal in the fight for the Champions League spots in the German Bundesliga.

Both teams are enjoying strong campaigns so far, as Frankfurt are currently fifth in the table while the visitors are third place.

Eintracht Frankfurt have hampered their chances of Champions League football by drawing their last three matches in the German top-flight. Last time out in the Bundesliga, the home drew 0-0 at RB Leipzig.

Although Frankfurt’s recent home form in the league has been inconsistent, they have still won five of their last eight league games on home soil. Their recent home games in the Bundesliga have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last eight matches.

Dieter Hecking’s side had won their previous three Bundesliga games while keeping clean sheets in all three wins. The visitors have won their last two away games in the German top-flight, but their recent away form has been highly inconsistent.
