Adi Hütter will be without the services of club captain Martin Hinteregger, who is struggling with a thigh injury. Ragnar Ache, Jabez Makanda and Almamy Toure are long-term absentees.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Wolfsburg Prediction

Both clubs have been in scintillating form and are working hard to secure a European qualification spot this season. The hosts are the joint second-highest goalscorers in the competition while the visitors have the joint-best defensive record in the league.

The game promises to be an engaging contest and given the form of the two sides, a high-scoring draw looks like the most likely outcome from the game.

Prediction: Eintracht Frankfurt 2-2 Wolfsburg.
