Having taken seven points from their last four games, VfB’s most recent tally is one to be quite satisfied with. However, there is now no resting up for Tayfun Korkut’s men, but instead reason for additional motivation as they prepare for this Saturday’s clash with Eintracht Frankfurt at the Mercedes-Benz Arena (kick-off 15:30 CET, tickets still available). In preparing for the tie, Emiliano Insua & Co. were back out on the pitch and working again on Tuesday. "We‘re headed in the right direction now,“ insisted the Argentine, adding: „On Saturday against Frankfurt, we have another great chance to pick up points."
It’s not only another opportunity to pick up points in the battle for top-flight survival, but a further three points on Saturday would be the Wasenelf’s eighth home success of the season – a feat last achieved by the Cannstatt Boys during the 2011/2012 campaign. With a current tally of seven home victories, one draw and three defeats, VfB are in fourth place in the home-table. Third position in the overall, as well as the away-tables, is held by Eintracht Frankfurt. The club from Hessen secured a 2-1 home win over RB Leipzig on Monday evening. The task is a tough one for Tayfun Korkut and his side – but they will be working towards rising to the challenge over the next few days.
