Only a win will satisfy the Wolfsburg supporters in this VOLKSWAGEN ARENA clash with Eintracht Frankfurt, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Bundesliga table.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Wolfsburg form and stats
When playing at home in the Bundesliga, Wolfsburg have managed 4 wins, 6 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 14 games.
A good away victory last time out for Wolfsburg, who won 4-1 against Bayer Leverkusen (placed 5th). Before that game, the home loss against Borussia Dortmund with the scoreline 0-2.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Wolfsburg have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won five times, drawn two and lost three.
Wolfsburg has scored 16 league goals at home this season, in 14 matches. 15 goals have been conceded.
Eintracht Frankfurt form and stats
Eintracht Frankfurt have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Bundesliga, after 2-1-10 (13 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Eintracht Frankfurt's last three away games as they have all been lost.
There were no winners in Eintracht's previous match, a Bundesliga home game that ended 3-3 vs Freiburg (placed 8th). Preceding that game, the 2-5 loss visiting Bayern München's place.
The match against Freiburg looked like a defeat for Eintracht, but they did not accept the outcome and clawed their way back to 3-3. Timothy Chandler equalized in the 82nd minute. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Eintracht, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? The draw against Freiburg came from a losing position. The Eintracht Frankfurt manager A. Hütter brought on Timothy Chandler as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.
We have checked recent matches where Eintracht Frankfurt have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those four games were one victory, one draw and two defeats.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Bundesliga trip to Werder Bremen.
Eintracht have scored 13 goals on their travels this season, from 13 away games in the league. The Eintracht Frankfurt manager A. Hütter has some worries about the defense as 30 goals have been conceded in these travels.
