Eintracht Frankfurt often tie opposition defences up in knots

Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.75/7 in Eintracht Frankfurt v Hertha Berlin

Eintracht Frankfurt v Hertha Berlin
Wednesday 19:00

Mainz did not mean goals. Not by any stretch of the imagination.

At least there is an immediate opportunity for Germany to recover some national pride this evening. The Old Lady is visiting the Moody Diva in Frankfurt and we wouldn't want to be anywhere else for what promises to be quite the showdown.

Eintracht Frankfurt have scored twice or more in 5/6 recent outings at the Commerzbank Arena. Only Bayern Munich - the runaway league leaders who haven't conceded a single away goal since August - could keep them out. Five of those six games also saw Frankfurt concede at least twice and the same fraction duly delivered Over 2.5 Goals in total.

Home and away, the Moody Diva has actually had little to complain about: 10/12 have brought Over 2.5 Goals.

With this game in hand, Hertha Berlin are in the bottom six. Despite their lowly position, Jos Luhukay's rabble have found the back of the net at least twice in 4/7 away games, including each of the most recent two. Since the start of the season 5/7 have conjured Over 2.5 Goals.
