This is a Frankfurt city derby, even if the stakes are low on paper. FSV Frankfurt, a regional-level club, host their Bundesliga neighbours in a pre-season friendly at Frankfurter Volksbank Stadion on 12 August 2026. Eintracht have won both previous meetings between the two clubs, most recently 5-2 in August 2024 and 3-2 in July 2025, and they arrive in far better shape this summer. The gap in quality between these sides is significant, and that makes this one of the more predictable fixtures on the August friendly calendar.
For Eintracht, Hugo Larsson has been sharp in the early pre-season window, already registering a goal and looking comfortable in a central midfield role with 39 passes completed in his last outing. Up front, Jonathan Burkardt has shown good movement and converted his chance against Hull, making him the one to watch in the final third here.
Hot stat: Eintracht Frankfurt scored 7 goals in a single friendly against Giessen and have kept clean sheets in each of their last two matches, beating Hull 2-0 and Mannheim 1-0 without conceding.

FSV Frankfurt vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction
Eintracht Frankfurt to win is the only sensible call here. They are a Bundesliga-level side currently in excellent form, having won all four matches in the past 30 days, including a 7-1 demolition of Giessen and a 3-0 win over Trabzonspor. FSV Frankfurt, coached by Victor Kleinhenz, are a fourth-tier or lower outfit whose last competitive result was a 2-2 draw with VfR Mannheim. The quality difference is stark.
Adi Hütter’s side has averaged over three goals per game across their recent friendlies, and FSV have struggled to keep clean sheets even against lower-ranked opposition. We think Eintracht score at least two here without much trouble, and the main question is whether FSV can grab a consolation. Their last two head-to-head results both saw FSV score, so both teams to score carries some value despite the expected one-sided nature of the contest.
Eintracht have committed 19 fouls across their recent matches with a relatively high foul count per game, which suggests an aggressive pressing style under Hütter. FSV, playing at home, may sit deep and attempt to frustrate, which could lead to a cluttered midfield and more set-piece opportunities for Eintracht. With 8 corner kicks recorded in their available match data and 3 free kicks, expect Eintracht to dominate dead-ball situations too.

Team Analysis
FSV Frankfurt come into this match off the back of a 2-2 draw with VfR Mannheim, a result that followed a 1-2 defeat to Würzburger Kickers. Before that loss, they had beaten Köln Am 2-1 and Pribram 2-0, showing they are capable of picking up results against lower-level sides. Their season record of 13 wins from 24 matches reflects a decent but unspectacular campaign. The concern here is that none of their recent opponents come close to the level Eintracht will bring. Victor Kleinhenz’s team showed some resilience in the draw against Mannheim, but a Bundesliga outfit pressing at intensity is a completely different challenge.
Eintracht Frankfurt arrive having won all four of their pre-season matches. Their most recent outing was a 2-0 victory over Hull, and before that a 1-0 win against Mannheim. The 3-0 against Trabzonspor and the 7-1 against Giessen underline how freely Hütter’s side are scoring. Honestly, the 3-3 draw against Sandhausen from earlier in the summer looks like an outlier. Four wins from four with a combined score of 13-1 across the last three competitive outings tells a clear story. The squad looks well-drilled already, with players like Ritsu Doan providing assists and Robin Koch marshalling the backline with authority.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Eintracht Frankfurt the favourite
- Moneyline FSV Frankfurt 10.00 | Eintracht Frankfurt 1.15
- Draw 8.25
The odds tell the full story. Eintracht at 1.15 reflects near-certainty from the market, and we agree with that assessment. The value in backing them outright is minimal given the short price, which is why our preferred angle is Eintracht to win to nil or the over 2.5 goals line. FSV have scored in both previous meetings, so a clean sheet for Eintracht is not guaranteed, but their defensive shape has been tight recently. The 8.25 on the draw is only tempting in the context of a novelty bet, not as a serious proposition. We think the money is best placed on goals rather than the outright result given how compressed the win odds are.

Possible Starting Lineups
Eintracht Frankfurt possible starting eleven
- GK: Kauã Santos
- DF: Timothy Chandler, Robin Koch, Nnamdi Collins, Niels Nkounkou, Elias Niklas Baum, Keita Kosugi
- MF: Mario Götze, Hugo Larsson, Can Yilmaz Uzun, Oscar Winther Hojlund, Love Arrhov, Ritsu Doan, Fares Chaibi
- FW: Jonathan Burkardt, Ansgar Knauff, Younes Ebnoutalib
Hütter has rotated heavily across the pre-season, so a 4-2-3-1 setup with squad depth is likely. Kauã Santos starts in goal with Michael Zetterer and Jens Grahl also available for rotation. Robin Koch anchors the defence alongside Nnamdi Collins, both of whom have featured in recent matches. Hugo Larsson is the one to watch in midfield after his goal against Hull, and Ritsu Doan provides the creative link from wide areas. Jonathan Burkardt leads the line and will be the focal point of Eintracht’s attacking play.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Eintracht Frankfurt are the obvious winners here and there is no realistic case for FSV pulling off a shock. Four consecutive pre-season victories, a goals-for tally that dwarfs anything FSV have managed, and a clear tactical identity under Hütter all point in one direction. FSV have shown they can score against lower opposition, and maybe they grab one late goal, but Eintracht controlling large portions of this match and scoring two or three times feels like the most likely outcome.
We are backing over 2.5 goals as our main tip, with both teams to score as a secondary option given the historical pattern of FSV finding the net even in heavy defeats. Eintracht to win to nil is worth a small stake at a likely short price, but the over 2.5 line offers the best balance of probability and return.
