Eintracht Frankfurt vs FC St. Pauli

Eintracht Frankfurt, founded in 1899, are now set to play their 1,899th Bundesliga game. They are still unbeaten in their six home matches against St. Pauli (W3, D3) and have only hosted RB Leipzig more often in the top flight without ever losing (9 times).

Eintracht Frankfurt are unbeaten in their last 14 Bundesliga games against promoted sides (W11, D3), winning each of the last four. They now have the chance to equal two club records: a five-game winning streak against promoted teams from 1991 under Dragoslav Stepanovic and a 15-match undefeated run against them between 2008 and 2012.

FC St. Pauli are currently five points clear of 16th and the relegation play-off spot (occupied by Heidenheim on 26 points). Since three points per win was introduced, only 1. FC Nürnberg have ever blown such a big advantage this late on in a season. If the Kiezkicker do indeed beat the drop, it will be their first top-flight season since 1995/96 that didn’t end in relegation.

Eintracht Frankfurt’s current tally of 56 points is their fourth highest at this stage in the Bundesliga – since 2000, they have only been better off after 32 games in 2020/21 (57 points). The Eagles are five points clear of fifth place – only VfB Stuttgart in 2004/05 (also 5 points) have ever blown such a big lead this late on in a top-flight season.

Eintracht Frankfurt have won each of their last three Bundesliga home games without conceding a single goal. They have only previously kept four consecutive clean sheets at home in the top flight back in 1978 and have never won four home games in a row in the league under coach Dino Toppmöller.
