Eintracht Frankfurt's home clash against Wolfsburg at Deutsche Bank Park on Sunday in the Bundesliga could be hugely significant in the race for Champions League football.
The Eagles are in third place with 37 points but were held to a 2-2 stalemate by relegation-threatened Hoffenheim on January 26, whereas Wolfsburg are eighth with 28 points and drew 2-2 with second last Holstein Kiel on January 24.
We say: Eintracht Frankfurt 2-2 Wolfsburg
Wolfsburg have been excellent away from home and may benefit from being able to counter-attack against their hosts.
However, Eintracht Frankfurt are still a formidable offensive force, and they are likely to create a number of chances against the Wolves on Sunday.

In a clash that will have significant ramifications on the fight for the title and the race for survival, defending Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen will welcome Hoffenheim to BayArena on Sunday.
Die Schwarzroten are in second place with 42 points – six behind Bayern Munich – and were held to a 2-2 draw by RB Leipzig on January 25, while Hoffenheim drew 2-2 with Eintracht Frankfurt on January 25 and are fourth last in 15th with 18 points.
We say: Bayer Leverkusen 4-0 Hoffenheim
It is difficult to overlook Hoffenheim's injury crisis, and it would be surprising if the visitors managed to put up much resistance on Sunday.
Leverkusen must ensure that Bayern do not extend the gap at the top of the table, and considering their good form in front of goal, they should be seen as strong favourites.
