#SGETSG: Crossing specialists with poor home record

Did you know that…

…both teams have faltered in the second half of the season?

Both clubs occupied a European berth at the end of the first half of the season, but the duo have recently lost their way and slipped down the table. TSG have the ninth-best record in the second half-season, while Frankfurt are down in 14th.

…TSG spurn too many major chances?

However, coach Sebastian Hoeness and his team could be in a significantly higher position. TSG have had the worst chance conversion in the division in the second half of the campaign and have underperformed their xGoals by 7.8 goals.

…this is a meeting of the league's two crossing specialists?

The attacking left flank of both teams will be a hive of activity on Saturday. Frankfurt's Filip Kostic has delivered more crosses from open play than any other player in the league (198), with David Raum close behind him in second place (179).

…Frankfurt have been vulnerable at home this season?

Eintracht, who are usually so strong at home, have picked up only 17 points on their own patch and have the 16th-best home record. That decline in form will be welcome news to TSG, who have not won in Frankfurt since a 1-0 victory in April 2017.
