VfB Stuttgart have only won more Bundesliga games against Schalke (43) than they have against Eintracht Frankfurt (42). Their 14 top-flight away wins in Frankfurt are also a joint-best for the Swabians (also 14 wins away to Borussia Mönchengladbach).
Eintracht Frankfurt’s 11-game unbeaten and five-game winning runs came to an end following a 2-1 defeat to Werder Bremen on matchday 23. Prior to that, their last league defeat came in Wolfsburg in December (2-1) – Frankfurt had also taken the lead in that game.
Stuttgart scored three goals from corners in a 5-1 win against Schalke last time out. The last team to manage this in a Bundesliga game was VfB themselves against Hannover 96 in March 2019.
Eintracht Frankfurt’s Andre Silva has scored 10 goals in 2021, only player in Bundesliga more (Robert Lewandowski, 11). His goal in Bremen last time out means he has scored in each of his last five BL games – the last player to manage this for the Eagles was Sebastien Haller in 2018/19.
Filip Kostic has provided a league-high eight assists in 2021. He’s set up at least one goal in each of his last six Bundesliga games – a new record since detailed data collection began in 2004/05.
