Borussia Mönchengladbach - Eintracht Frankfurt
Borussia Mönchengladbach - Eintracht FrankfurtOn Tuesday evening, April 25, Borussia Monchengladbach - Eintracht Frankfurt faced each other in a semi-final match of the German Cup tournament. The winner will be determined in a match, which gives priority to the "foals" as the match is at Borussia Park.
Borussia Mönchengladbach has no chance for a place in the Europa League in the league, being ranked tenth in the ranking with a total of 39 points. They have lost their last two Bundesliga matches and are now hoping for success in the Cup tournament. Borussia qualified for the semi-final of the tournament after four wins, allowing only one goal. At the 1/4-finals, they dealt Hamburger 2-1 as a guest, and formerly eliminated Greuther Furth 2: 1 again away from home. In their only match at Borussia Park, the "foals" defeated Stuttgart by 2: 0.
Eintracht Frankfurt is only four points away from the Europa League zone and their success over Augsburg with 3: 1 over the weekend preserves their chances of winning a Top 6. The Saturday victory has ended their 10-game series without success in the Bundesliga. In February, Eintracht was in a good position to attack even the Top 4, but then collapsed. In the Cup tournament, the Frankfurt team eliminated Magdeburg and Ingolstadt after penalties, Hanover and Arminia Bielefeld.
Borussia Monchengladbach is a strong host and I expect to qualify for the final with success in the regular time. Their rival for the first time will face a stronger team in the Cup tournament, with the easy draw helping them slip into the 1/2-finals.
