Looking back
When the teams met earlier in the season, VfB and Eintracht Frankfurt shared the points after an entertaining 2-2 draw last November.
Best 2021 points haul
Eintracht Frankfurt have picked up 25 points from their ten matches in 2021 so far – more than any other team this calendar year.
VfB meanwhile are on a three-match unbeaten run (W2 D1).
Hitting the target
VfB have scored 42 goals so far this season, the fourth most in the league and just behind Frankfurt on 46.
Set-piece threats
The two teams have scored 13 goals each from set pieces so far this season – only Borussia Mönchengladbach have found the net more often from dead-ball situations.
Air defence
Floating the ball into the Frankfurt box has not been the best tactic this season, with the Eintracht defence allowing just three goals from headers – the fewest in the Bundesliga.
