Ekitiké woe

Eintracht have huffed and puffed in this half but Ekitiké sums up the visitors' efforts since the break by fluffing his lines when played in by Collins. Frankfurt are just not good enough today but they'll look to improve with European competition still very much on the cards.
83'

Bredlow alert

Max's left-footed stinger has Bredlow scrambling to palm out. Solid save from the Stuttgart custodian.

Applause for Undav

Deniz Undav heads off to huge applause. The striker has scored and provided an assist today and now sits on 16 Bundesliga goals for the campaign. Jeong and Dahoud are on for the hosts.

Stiller booked

Stuttgart are playing with fire as they try to play out from the back. Hasebe nips in and is upended by Stiller, who is booked. Marmoush batters the susequent free kick at goal but Bredlow is there to parry away.

Top marks Buta

Buta whips a dangerous ball into the centre which Ekitiké just can't reach, despite stretching for it.

Undav had a go

Guirassy squares for Undav, who pulls a shot wide of the far post from the penalty spot. In a half of few chances, that was VfB's best this 45'.

Record chasers

Stuttgart's record win over Frankfurt stands at 4-0. Eintracht have perhaps looked more like making it 3-1 in this second half but the hosts will be keeping one eye on a new high against the Eagles.

Easy for Trapp

A quick set-piece from Stuttgart lands at the feet of Leweling, who cuts inside his man and drills low into Trapp's hands.

Almost Eintracht

Fares Chaibi gets to the end line and cuts back for Ekitiké, who is crowded out a yard from goal. That probably should have been 3-1.

Hasebe booked

Hasebe lands studs up on Stiller, who goes down in a heap. Yellow card for the Japanese player.

VfB cruising

Leweling races onto Undav's through ball, approaches Trapp and plays the ball under the Eintracht keeper. This is all a little too easy for the home side, not that their fans care.

Marmoush thwacks a shot at the target which goes through Bredlow's gloves and smacks the keeper right in the grill. Nübel's stand-in will need a little treatment but should be fine to continue.

More on those teams

VfB are without goalkeeper Alexander Nübel - who recently extended his loan spell at Stuttgart. The custodian is missing with a muscular injury today, meaning Fabian Bredlow is set to make a fourth Bundesliga start this season between the posts. Full-back Leonidas Stergiou, meanwhile, starts only his second game of the season for the hosts. The 18-year-old French attacker, Jean-Matteo Bahoya, is in from the get-go for the first time for Eintracht here.

Hoeneß's thoughts on Frankfurt

"It's a top game against a very good Frankfurt team. They've cemented their place in the top six. They have a strong squad of players and a lot of pace, especially in attack. We know Omar Marmoush from his time in Stuttgart. He's having a great season. They'll be a tough nut to crack."

Toppmöller's thoughts on Stuttgart

"We're lagging a bit behind because of all the draws. We've lost as many times as VfB, so both teams are hard to beat. We're confident we can match Stuttgart and beat them."
