Full-time: Leipzig 6-0 Frankfurt

It only got worse for Frankfurt after the break as Leipzig really turned on the style. The Frankfurt defence just couldn't get near the likes of Nusa, Baumgartner and Diomande. The latter scored three second-half goals to become the second youngest scorer of a Bundesliga hat-trick ever. The result keeps Leipzig in second and leaves Frankfurt with a negative goal difference.

Domination

xGoals

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

The hosts have been on top since the outset, and that is made abundantly clear in the xG statistics.

Distance to Goal

The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

Nusa beats a couple of players to get into the box before going to ground. The ball then bobbles across to Diomande, who hammers home from inside the box. Frankfurt are sinking without a trace.

Half-time: Leipzig 2-0 Frankfurt

It's 2-0 at the break, but it could be more. Leipzig have looked dangerous every time they've come forward, whereas that Frankfurt defence looks fragile once again. Harder and Baumgartner have both grabbed a goal and an assist, with the latter also having a goal ruled out for offside. At the other end, Dahoud hit the bar, but that shot led to Leipzig countering for their second.

Baumgartner has the ball in the net again

But it won't count. Leipzig recycle the ball well from a set-piece before Raum sends a deflected cross to the backpost. Schlager then pokes the ball back across goal to Baumgartner to prod home, but the goalscorer is offside and it won't count.

Dahoud hits the bar

A closer look at that Dahoud effort that struck the bar just before Leipzig made it 2-0.

Leipzig lead 2-0!

Dahoud smashes a shot against the crossbar at one end, and then Leipzig counter. Baumgartner finds Harder, who does superbly to beat a couple of players in the box before sliding the ball across to Baumgartner to tap home.

More Leipzig pressure

From a similar position to the last chance, Chaïbi fires in a low cross towards Batshuayi, but Leipzig just about survive.

20'

Big chance

Kristensen is fed in down the right and finds Dōan, who slides in to shoot from inside the box. His effort is deflected towards Batshuayi, but the Belgian can't react quickly enough to turn the ball home from close range.

15'

Leipzig turning up the pressure

The hosts work the ball out to Raum. He whips in a cross from the left that is well defended before Harder can get on the end of it.

10'

Superb from Diomande

The Ivorian picks up the ball on the wing and beats three or four Frankfurt players before eventually losing the ball in the box.

More danger

A good free-kick is headed goalwards by Harder, but his shot is saved. The effort wouldn't have counted anyway, however.

Harder gets his first Leipzig goal!

Harder plays a one-two with Baumgartner and gets onto the Austrian's chipped ball in behind. Zetterer comes out to try and stop him, but the Dane heads the ball over the onrushing goalkeeper.

Teams in the tunnel

Both sets of players are now in the tunnel as the atmosphere inside the stadium grows ahead of kick-off.

More on those teams

Just the one change for Leipzig as Nedeljkovic replaces the injured Baku. Frankfurt, meanwhile, make three changes from the side that drew with Wolfsburg as Collins, Dahoud and goalscorer Batshuayi come into the side in what appears to be a shift to a back five. Uzun also returns to the squad after an injury layoff.

Dino Toppmöller on facing Leipzig

"Leipzig have a very good structure in attack. They’re very dangerous on both wings with Yan Diomande, Antonio Nusa and Johan Bakayoko. The full-backs also get involved a lot. It won’t just be a case of controlling Christoph Baumgartner, who makes a lot of forward runs and is hungry for goals. It’ll be important to have a handle on everything and defend well collectively.”

Ole Werner on facing Frankfurt

"It'll be a top game between two evenly matched teams. We know how we want to play against them. We have the confidence to say that if we perform, we'll win. Against an attack like Eintracht's, we'll need to be compact and put pressure on the ball. Transitions will also be key, because both teams are tough to stop there."

Leipzig progress in cup

Leipzig got the better of Bundesliga 2's Magdeburg on Tuesday to book their place in the DFB Cup quarter-finals. After Antonio Nusa levelled matters with 19 minutes gone, Christoph Baumgartner scored twice to seal a 3-1 comeback triumph for the two-time cup winners.

4:37

Watch: Young guns firing for Leipzig and Frankfurt

Some 45 percent of Leipzig's goals (10 in 22) have been scored by players under the age of 23 so far this season, while Frankfurt boast the joint-third youngest average starting line-up in the division (25.2 years).

Fortress Red Bull Arena

Leipzig have conceded just 13 goals in 12 league games so far this season, including a league-low three across five home fixtures. Along with Bayern and VfB Stuttgart, they're one of three Bundesliga teams yet to lose in front of their own fans this term (W5).

2:03

Previous meeting: Frankfurt 4-0 Leipzig

Eintracht hammered Leipzig last April in a hugely important game in the top-four race. Frankfurt went on to finish third and qualify for the UEFA Champions League, while Leipzig missed out on European football altogether for the first time since their promotion to the Bundesliga in 2016.

Watch: Gladbach 0-0 Leipzig - highlights

Watch: Eintracht 1-1 Wolfsburg - highlights

Michy Batshuayi scored a stoppage-time penalty as Frankfurt extended their unbeaten league run to six matches. The Eagles begin the new week just two points outside the top-four places.
