The story so far
Want more Bundesliga Action?
Frankfurt's season exploded into life on Matchdays 3 and 4, as they put four past VfB Stuttgart before thrashing 1. FC Köln 6-2 in a memorable encounter. Since then however, their fortunes have taken a turn for the worse. The Eagles have won only one of their last eight games, and that was a nervy 2-1 victory over equally troubled Hannover 96.
Defensively, Armin Veh's side have been impressive, not least as they became the first team to take points from FC Bayern München on Matchday 11. Yet such minor successes are largely overshadowed by a lack of wins, a dramatic exit from the DFB Cup, and a certain bluntness going forward.
Top stats
- Frankfurt's main weapon has been the counter-attack: only Hoffenheim, with seven, have scored more goals on the break than Eintracht's six.Alexander Meier, the Bundesliga's top scorer last season, is currently Frankfurt's most prolific goalscorer, with five goals to his name.Summer signing Luc Castaignos has made a strong start to his Bundesliga career, scoring four times from 12 shots so far this season.
