FRK vs LEP Match Preview
Eintracht will be playing host to Red Bull Leipzig for the third round of the Frankfurt DFB Cup. Frankfurt won the competition a year and a half ago when they beat Bayern Munich 3–1 in the final, but were eliminated in the first round of last season's campaign. However, Frankfurt are looking to go the distance around this time and will be more in confidence in the face of home support as they beat Leipzig 2–0 for the last time in the Bundesliga.The Leipzig side of Julian Nagelsmann has impressed this season as they remained at the top of the German league and slipped to second place, scoring one point behind Bayern Munich until a 2–2 draw against Mönchengladbach. Given Leipzig's form in the ongoing season, Nagsen's men are very capable of being tagged as favorites of the Cup competition.
