This is definitely not a happy time for Frankfurt. Yes, they are third in the Bundesliga, but they were unexpectedly knocked out of the Europa League after losing at home to Tottenham. This result also took its toll in the league with a draw away to Augsburg.
The disappointment has left its mark, and Leipzig, a strong team with important players and coming off three positive results in a row, can smell victory and a chance to catch up in the standings. Yes, because three points separate these two teams, and since they are now worth double, with the end of the season approaching and no one waiting for a place in the Champions League, the feeling is that not only the team that is objectively better, but also the one that is certainly more accustomed to playing this type of game, can win.
Yes, Leipzig, accustomed to facing very important teams in Europe’s top competition for several seasons in a row, certainly knows how to manage the crucial moments of the game better. And this is a factor that could prove decisive in these 90 minutes. Furthermore, confirming all this, in the last three meetings between these two teams, the visitors have never lost. So it will end like the first leg.
