It has been an excellent start to the 2024-25 Bundesliga season for Eintracht Frankfurt, and they will be aiming to end the weekend within three points of Bayern Munich at the summit.
The visitors come into this weekend after dropping points in their previous outing, but only the league leaders have picked up more wins than Frankfurt so far this term.
It has been a mixed first half to the season for Leipzig, but they looked back to somewhere near their best last weekend after snapping a four-match winless run against Holstein Kiel.

RB Leipzig vs. Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction
Leipzig were brought back down to earth following defeat in the Champions League in midweek against Aston Villa, and their defensive record will be a concern ahead of the visit of one of the best attacking teams in the division.
Eintracht Frankfurt have been consistent on the road this season, winning on four occasions. An away win looks too good of a price to turn down.
