On Sunday, starting at 17:00, the match Frankfurt – Bremen will be played, during the 7th round of the Bundesliga, the 2019/2020 edition. Frankfurt has won only one match in the last 5 with Bremen, an opponent who has won 14 times in Bundesliga history on the “Vultures” field. Last season, “Alb-Verzii” won 2-1 away and drew 2-2 in their own arena.

Frankfurt evolved on Thursday night in the Europa League, succeeding with a 1-0 success on the field of the Portuguese team Vitoria Guimaraes. Adi Hutter’s students “struggle” in the middle of the ranking with 10 points, occupying 9th place, even if the distance to the leader Bayern is only 4 points. The balance of this season is present in all areas of the standings, and Bremen can equal their opponent on Sunday, with a new success. Florian Kohfeld’s “White-Greens” are the “nightmare” of the hosts, being the band with the most victories in their box office. Bremen remained the same offensive group, which receives a goal, but also scores, as proof of the excellent result achieved last stage, 2-2 with Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park. Frankfurt wants its 3 points, but a draw would not bother anyone, and goals are announced to be present on the scoreboard.
