Apologies in advance, but sports isn't always a perfectly clear crystal ball situation, however, we'll give it a shot. Our two enemies of the day are Eintracht Frankfurt and Werder Bremen, and I can barely contain my excitement.
Thrills start with the goalkeepers. For Werder Bremen, we've got Michael Zetterer. A show-stopper, this one. His season figures are 15 saves and a good-ish 6.52 rating. On the other side, we have Eintracht Frankfurt's golden gloves, Kevin Trapp. Donning an impressive 7.57 rating and 17 saves, Trapp has indeed trapped quite a few goals this season.
Now, let's dig into the key players. Werder Bremen's shining stars are Marvin Ducksch and Romano Schmid, both boasting respectable ratings and a goal each. Though, Mitchell Weiser follows close behind with a 7.20 rating and a goal to his name. On the other side, we have Mahmoud Dahoud leading the pack for Eintracht Frankfurt with a stellar 8.70 rating and a goal. He's supported by Omar Marmoush, who's drummed up an 8.23 rating and two goals. Let's also give a nod to Hugo Ekitiké and his impressive tally of 3 goals this season.
As for how these two teams have clashed in the past, it always seems to be a nail-biting spectacle. Their last three encounters saw a draw twice and a victory for Frankfurt once, which doesn't quite help with the popcorn munching anxiety.
Considering the regular season records, Frankfurt appears to have a slight edge with 6 wins to Bremen's 4. However, Werder Bremen recently showed they still have a few tricks up their sleeve by scalping Holstein Kiel, despite suffering defeat at the hands of Borussia M’gladbach not so long ago.
On the other side, Frankfurt seems to be on a bit of a roll, fresh off a win against VfB Stuttgart and enjoying the taste of victory in a goal-infested jaunt against Bochum. Still nursing a wound after their defeat to Bayer Leverkusen though.
Keeping all that in mind, brace yourselves. Here comes the prediction.
