Aberdeen gave us a few scares last night, including a late red card, but their 1-0 win at Ross County extended their winning streak and gave us an odds-against winner. We'll head to Germany now, because there's a fascinating primetime clash between Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Mönchengladbach to enjoy, and I fancy the visitors to cause an upset.

It's been a punishing season for Eintracht Frankfurt. They invested so much effort in winning the Europa League last season, and this term they reached the last 16 of the Champions League (where they ran into a rampant Napoli) and they have got to the semi-finals of the DFB Pokal. Those efforts appear to be taking their toll.

Eintracht haven't won any of their last six games in the Bundesliga. Having been title contenders a few short weeks ago, they are now outsiders to even qualify for the Champions League. The Eagles have drawn their last two Bundesliga home games against relegation battlers Stuttgart and Bochum, and on the road they have totally collapsed, taking just a point from the last five away games.

Absences are taking their toll. Jesper Lindstrom (injured) and Mario Götze (suspended) will miss this game, while Philipp Max and Hrvoje Smolcic are also on the sidelines.

Gladbach are meandering towards a mid-table finish, but they are at least playing with a bit of clarity now that they know Ramy Bensebaini, Marcus Thuram and Lars Stindl are all leaving in the summer. The Foals have lost just one of their last five league games, and last weekend they saw off Wolfsburg 2-0.

I think Frankfurt have lost momentum at the worst possible time, and I'll lay them here at 1.84/5.
