Two underperforming teams clash when RB Leipzig entertain Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on Saturday, October 10, at the Red Bull Arena.
The hosts have amassed just six points from their first four league outings, leaving them ninth in the standings, just one point and one place better off than their visitors.
Frankfurt have also been frustrating since the start of the campaign, but after the three-week international break, both sides will be hoping to bounce back to their usual selves starting from this weekend.

RB Leipzig will be happy to see the inside of the Red Bull Arena once again, and to play in front of their fans, as their away record has been dismal since the start of the campaign.
As a result of losing their two road trips, Leipzig have made the worst start to a league season since 2022-23, but they should be confident of securing maximum points here, since they have yet to lose back-to-back matches in 2026.
Additionally, Martin Demichelis's men boast a joint-club record of seven consecutive home victories in the league, which is the current longest such streak in the Bundesliga.
The home side have also not drawn any of the previous 17 matches, which is an indication that the Red Bulls will not be holding back anything on matchday five.
The visitors are likely as frustrated as their hosts, but they should be looking forward to the road trip, as they have yet to taste a league defeat on their travels this season.
Only Dortmund and Mainz collected more points away from home than the Eagles, which is why they will be confident of causing an upset at the Red Bull Arena.
An interesting point to note is that Adi Hutter's charges have led at halftime in all four Bundesliga matches that they have played this term, but their lead-defending rate has been poor.
Last season, Franfurt lost both matches to Leipzig, meaning they have only won one of the last 10 head-to-heads, losing six and drawing three in that run.
Having scored first in 75% of their league matches, the visitors will pack a punch, especially in the first half, but with 80% of their conceded goals arriving after the break, it opens the door for the hosts to march to victory in the end.

Whispers predicts: RB Leipzig 3-1 Eintracht Frankfurt
The home side are favourites to win this one, given their recent head-to-head history against Frankfurt, which is why backing Leipzig to win at 1.53 odds is the safest bet.
Despite Demichelis's men recording a 100% clean sheet record, the Eagles are averaging three goals per away game this season, suggesting that the BTTS-Yes play is an option at 1.36 odds.
However, there is not much value in those options, but a combination could work with a 1×2 & BTTS – Yes bet, backing the hosts to win and both teams to score at 2.21 odds.
Ten of Leipzig's last 11 competitive matches produced more than two goals on the day, while five of the last six head-to-heads produced more than three goals, making the over 3.5 goals at 1.69 odds bet an enticing one.
Considering how the visitors have led at halftime in each league match they have played this term, they could do it yet again, but their second-half defensive numbers are worrying, which leads to an ideal halftime/ fulltime bet with a Frankfurt/ Leipzig outcome at 19.00 odds.
> 1×2 & BTTS – RB Leipzig & Yes at 2.21 | Likelihood: High
> Over 3.5 goals at 1.69 | Likelihood: High
> 1×2 – RB Leipzig at 1.53 | Likelihood: High
> Halftime/ Fulltime – Frankfurt/ RB Leipzig at 19.00 | Likelihood: Medium
