The Bundesliga returns this weekend and will see Eintracht Frankfurt host Bochum at the Deutsche Bank Park on Sunday evening.
Eintracht Frankfurt have bounced back from their struggles since their return from the winter break. They beat Hertha Berlin 4-1 in their last league game before heading to Spain to beat Real Betis 2-1 in the first leg of their last 16 Europa League clash on Wednesday.
The hosts sit 10th in the Bundesliga standings with 34 points from 25 games. They will now be looking to continue their newfound form when they play at the weekend.
Bochum returned to winning ways last weekend, beating bottom-placed Greuther Furth 2-1 via goals from Maxim Leitsch and Anthony Losilla, with the former scoring his first-ever Bundesliga goal.
Bochum sit a place and two points behind their weekend hosts in the league table. They will now be looking to build on their latest result when they play on Sunday evening.
