Eintracht Frankfurt vs Fortuna Dusseldorf
German Bundesliga
Date: Friday, 19 October 2018
Kick-Off at 19:30 UK / 20:30 CET
Venue: Commerzbank-Arena (Frakfurt-am-Main).
Friedhelm Funkel’s men were struggling badly in the build-up play recently. They failed to find the back of the net on more than one occasion in last four league outings. A particular drop in form was seen in last two matches as Flingeraner fell 3-0 to Nurnberg and 0-2 to Schalke.
Given trips to Frankfurt am Main have never been a pleasant experience for Fortuna, we can hardly go past backing the home win as a banker bet at the odds of 1.72 here. Balkans duo Ante Rebic and Luka Jovic combined five goals so far in the season. They found the right shape just in latest spell of matches and we expect them to create plenty of troubles to Dusseldorf’s defense on the evening.
