Eintracht Frankfurt vs Holstein Kiel Predictions

Goals galore in Frankfurt

Goals are on the cards when Eintracht Frankfurt host Holstein Kiel at Deutsche Bank Park on Sunday. Holstein Kiel have scored in nine of their last ten league games, and backing over 3.5 goals looks the way to go here.

Eintracht Frankfurt are third in the Bundesliga, 14 places and 26 points above Holstein Kiel, with 11 wins, six draws and four defeats from their 21 games this season, while the visitors have won just three times.

Holstein Kiel are struggling to find a win, having gone four Bundesliga games without recording a victory and not having tasted success in any of their last ten away games. For their part, Eintracht Frankfurt have played out three straight stalemates in the Bundesliga but this looks a straightforward task on paper.

The visitors’ last game finished in a 2-2 draw with VFL Bochum, the ninth time in ten Bundesliga games that there have been over 3.5 goals. Holstein Kiel came back from a goal down at half-time to earn a point, but VFL Bochum had their chances to win and didn’t make the most of them.

Eintracht Frankfurt have scored three or more goals in seven of their 21 league games this season, and have been impressive in front of goal at home, scoring 26 goals in ten games. Meanwhile, Holstein Kiel have found the net at least twice in six of their last seven matches.

Both teams have had their struggles defensively, which bodes well for goals. Eintracht Frankfurt have failed to keep a clean sheet in seven of their last nine Bundesliga games and Holstein Kiel have conceded on all ten of their league away days this season. No team has shipped more goals in the Bundesliga this season than the 54 goals Holstein Kiel have conceded.

Over 3.5 goals looks the way to go here. Six of Eintracht Frankfurt’s ten Bundesliga home games this season have produced four or more goals, and Holstein Kiel’s last five away games in the league have all gone over 3.5 goals.

Frankfurt can win what promises to be a high-scoring game, with a 3-2 home win the standout correct-score bet.
