In Bundesliga action this weekend, RB Leipzig will host Eintracht Frankfurt at the Red Bull Arena on Sunday afternoon.

Leipzig are flying high under manager Domenico Tedesco. They beat bottom-placed Greuther Furth 6-1 in their last game, recovering from an early deficit to mount a clinical comeback on away territory.

The Red Bulls are fourth in the league table with 44 points from 26 games. They will now look to continue their strong run on Sunday to stay alive in a tight race for UEFA Champions League football next season.

Eintracht Frankfurt, meanwhile, are enjoying a good run of form at the moment. They picked up a 2-1 comeback win against Bochum in their last league game. They then advanced to the Europa League quarter-finals after beating Spanish side Real Betis 3-2 on aggregate on Thursday.

The visitors are ninth in the Bundesliga standings with 37 points from 26 games. They will now look to return to domestic action on Sunday with a win.

Leipzig are on an eight-game unbeaten run across competitions, losing just one of their last 13. They have one of the best home records in the league at the moment and will relish their chances on Sunday.

Frankfurt, meanwhile, are on a four-game unbeaten run across competitions. They will, however, come up against an inspired Leipzig side that could snap that run.
