Hoffenheim vs. Eintracht Frankfurt - prediction, lineups and free live streaming

The upcoming Bundesliga match between TSG Hoffenheim and Eintracht Frankfurt presents a compelling clash, particularly given the contrasting forms of both teams. Hoffenheim currently languishes in 15th place, having secured only one victory in their last eleven matches, highlighting their struggles this season . Conversely, Eintracht Frankfurt enters the match on a high note after recent victories over Borussia Dortmund and Ferencvaros, showcasing their improved performance and ambition to qualify for European competition .

Hoffenheim has 17 points and is three above the bottom three, while Eintracht has 36 points and is five behind the top two. The hosts lost 3-2 to Tottenham at this venue in the Europa League on Thursday, for their fourth defeat in five matches. Their only win in the sequence came against Holstein last weekend when they had a 3-1 away result.

It's the league form that’s still a concern as they lost three of the last four, including two in a row at this venue. Eintracht won 2-0 at home against Ferencváros in the Europa League on Thursday for a fourth win in a row, the last three coming at their home venue.

Hoffenheim snapped a winless run with a 3-1 win at Holstein Kiel in their last Bundesliga fixture, though the 21/10 underdogs should find beating Frankfurt a tougher task.

Eintracht Frankfurt are chasing a top-four finish this term and Die Adler, who have a 45.5% chance of winning on Sunday, are chasing a fourth Bundesliga game in a row. View more of our latest football predictions and analysis on our dedicated page.

Hoffenheim possible starting lineup: Baumann; Gendrey, Chaves, Akpoguma, Prass; Stach, Becker; Hlozek, Bischof, Moerstedt; Kramaric

Eintracht Frankfurt possible starting lineup: Trapp; Collins, Koch, Theate; Kristensen, Skhiri, Larsson, Brown; Knauff, Gotze; Ekitike

Despite Marmoush's departure, Eintracht is considered the favorite. In the last round, they outplayed Borussia Dortmund without the Egyptian. On Thursday, both teams played in the Europa League, so they had equal preparation time. However, Hoffenheim cannot seem to organize their defense

Predictions favor Eintracht Frankfurt to emerge victorious with a scoreline of 3-1 based on their superior head-to-head record and current form . Hoffenheim's home disadvantage is amplified by injury concerns that have sidelined key players. Their recent home record is particularly alarming; they have lost all five of their last home fixtures . While specific lineups remain uncertain due to these injuries, the expectation is that Frankfurt will capitalize on Hoffenheim's vulnerabilities.
