To retain their Europa League spot, Eintracht Frankfurt requires just a single point when they play the in-form RB Leipzig at Deutsche Bank Park on Saturday afternoon.
Eintracht Frankfurt vs RB Leipzig Betting Tips: 1X (DOUBLE CHANCE)
While RB Leipzig remains stuck in the current fourth position without the ability to move either up or down, Frankfurt is on the brink of securing a spot in the UEFA Europa League for the next season, but to accomplish that, they must secure at least a point on the final day of the Bundesliga 2023-24 campaign, which seems like a feasible task.
Actually, securing the sixth position would represent only the second-best finish in the past 12 years for Die Adler, and they should ensure they remain undefeated in Saturday's contest, as they have built their Deutsche Bank Park as a tough fortress, succumbing to defeat only twice in this term's 16 home fixtures.
Unfortunately, the second setback occurred in their last home fixture, where they suffered a five-star demolition by the ruthless Bayer Leverkusen, but Dino Toppmoller's squad harbors warm hopes of quickly getting back on track, emboldened by the fact that they have never lost a single H2H home encounter against RB Leipzig (W4, D4).
Despite unconvincing displays of late, Frankfurt will need to be at their best if they want to secure a top-six finish, as their Die Roten Bullen opponents are in exceptional form, having remained undefeated in their last 11 competitive fixtures (D4, L7) since falling to a late 1-2 loss against Bayern Munich at the end of February.
Fixed in fourth position, deprived of the opportunity to rise or fall in the standings regardless of the closing day's result, RB Leipzig might find themselves lacking passion, fire and desire for success, given they have already secured Champions League football for the sixth year in a row in their brief eight-year Bundesliga tenure.
As they bid to reach their highest total of points earned in the past seven seasons, the efforts of Marco Rose's crew will be hampered by a reluctant performances at Deutsche Bank Park, where, among other things, they were humiliated at this venue last season in a 0-4 thrashing by Frankfurt. When we eigh everything up, we believe that a draw would be an acceptable outcome for both sides, but we also hope that Die Adler will maintain their unbeaten home H2H record against RB Leipzig for the ninth time in a row.

Eintracht Frankfurt team news
Donny van de Beek hasn't played much since arriving from Man Utd on loan in the winter, as injuries have plagued him a lot, which is why he has accumulated only 358 minutes, and it seems that he is back on the island with a heel injury.
The same goes for Wolverhampton Wanderers loanee Sasa Kalajdzic, who suffered a serious ACL injury in mid-February, and it is unlikely that Frankfurt will keep him, as the 26-year-old forward faces a long break of several months.

RB Leipzig team news
Due to illness, key figure Dani Olmo missed last week's 1-1 draw with Werder Bremen, so the Spaniard must undergo further tests before determining whether he can take part on the final day of the 2023-24 Bundesliga season.
Standard-back David Raum was an unused substitute due to a mild muscle issue, while midfielder Xaver Schlager picked up a knee injury in early May that could see him miss the EUROs in Germany this summer with his Austrian national team.
Star player Xavi Simmons is back in action after missing out last weekend due to a one-match suspension, and the 21-year-old will play his final game for RB Leipzig this weekend as his loan spell comes to an end, returning to PSG.
