SILVA SO CLOSE!
Frankfurt fly forward on the counter with Kamada finding Kostic on the right. He has Jovic in support but spots Silva all alone in the area on the other side and switches play to him. Silva fires at goal on his left but Baumann is equal to it and makes a fine save.

INTO THE FINAL 10...
Frankfurt are still pushing on for more here with Kostic having the bit between his teeth. We could see more goals in the final 10 minutes with tired legs out there.
73'
JOVIC ON!
Two changes for Frankfurt with Jovic and Rode on for Hasebe and Younes. It means Frankfurt now have Jovic and Silva on the pitch together.

KRAMARIC HEADS WIDE
A free header for Kramaric who has been kept quiet for most of this game. He's on the end of Kaderabek's cross into the Frankfurt area, but can't angle it on goal from an awkward standing position.
67'
HOFFENHEIM COMING BACK
The hosts have been the better side for much of this second half, but two goals conceded in as many minutes and now the game might look beyond them. Unless they can get themselves a goal before time ticks on too much...
64'
KOSTIC -> SILVA = GOAL!
Magical from Frankfurt who scored a second in as many minutes. Kamada with a breathtaking pass out to the left to find Kostic, who simply lofts the ball to the back post with Silva on the run. It's a perfect cross and a perfect header as Silva beats Baumann to double the Frankfurt lead in the blink of an eye.

Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.
62'
N'DICKA FROM NOWHERE!
What a brilliant header this is from the French defender. Kostic swings a free-kick into the Hoffenheim area from deep and N'Dicka stays onside to meet it and then head at goal from just inside the penalty box. His header bounces beyond Baumann and in at the near post. Frankfurt back in front against the run of play!

YOUNES BOOKED
A second yellow card for Frankfurt here with Younes in the book for a late foul on Rudy.

FRANKFURT RESPONSE?
All of the Eagles' play is coming down the left flank again here, but Kostic is finding life harder up against Kaderabek than he did against Gacinovic.
52'
HUGE CHANCE!
Hoffenheim playing some superb football here at the start of the second half. A switch of play from right to left and it's John who is able to cut the ball back in front of goal with Belfodil waiting. He gets his shot away but it clips the side-netting as it goes wide from close range. He will have expected to put that on target at the very least!
50'
A PACEY OUTLET
Hoffenheim are leaving Bebou up the pitch when defending and looking for him when they counter. It's worked already, so Hoffenheim will look to unlock the Frankfurt defence once again with the speed of their substitute.
47'
WHAT AN INTRODUCTION!
His first touches of the ball since coming on and Bebou brings Hoffenheim level. And what a goal it is! Kramaric gives him the ball just inside the Frankfurt half and he races towards the defence. He stands up against Hinteregger before beating him onto his left foot with a burst of pace before sliding the ball past Trapp. A dream start for Hoffenheim!

CLOSING ON THE BREAK
Frankfurt have slowed down in this first half with long balls the order of the day in the last few minutes. Hoffenheim, meanwhile, are ending this half on the front-foot but again they're just lacking that final pass to set up a chance on goal.
35'
CLOSE AGAIN
Kostic lofts a free-kick into the box from 30 yards out and Hinteregger beats the offside trap to meet it. His glancing header is on target but it doesn't have the power behind it that he'd have liked and Baumann saves that one with ease.
32'
FLAG UP AGAINST KAMADA
The ball is in the Hoffenheim net for a second time with Kostic crossing for Kamada to head in, but the midfielder is offside when the ball was played into the Hoffenheim area.

FINAL PASS AGAIN
Richards plays a fantastic pass out of the back into the middle to find Rudy, who turns and spots Kramaric running in behind. It's the right idea, but Rudy's pass is just too heavy and Kramaric can't reach it. Hoffenheim building into this game really well in the last few minutes.

HOFFENHEIM LACKING THE FINAL BALL
The home side have had good openings in the last few minutes but just haven't found the killer pass to get them in on goal to test Trapp. So far, Kostic has been their downfall at both ends of the pitch with him winning the battle over fellow Serb Gacinovic.
17'
SLOW STARTERS
That's the 19th goal Hoffenheim have conceded in the first half of games this season. Only Schalke have conceded more.
15'
KOSTIC WITH THE OPENER!
What a finish from a player in red-hot form in a team firing on all cylinders. Frankfurt break quickly after a long Hoffenheim goal kick. Kamada flicks the ball to Younes and he sends Kostic in on goal. He reaches the Hoffenheim area before tucking the ball across Baumann with a superb finish.

EARLY EXCHANGES
Both sides having bright moments with possession being won back both either side on a frequent basis in the opening 10 minutes. Neither goalkeeper has had a save to make yet, but both attacks are looking lively.

RICHARDS ON THE LEFT
We thought the American would be on the right of Hoffenheim's back three, but in fact he is on the left, with Posch preferred on the right.

HERE WE GO!
We've got just one game for you today, but what a game it is! Hoffenheim facing Frankfurt and we're underway in Sinsheim.
Kick-off!
GACINOVIC VS. KOSTIC
Mijat Gacinovic joined Hoffenheim in summer 2020, following five years at Frankfurt, encompassing 157 competitive appearances (10 goals, 18 assists). Today, from right wing-back, he'll come up against best friend and fellow Serb Filip Kostic directly. Certainly one we'll be keeping our eyes on.

FLY EAGLES, FLY!
Frankfurt are on the longest unbeaten run of any Bundesliga team - eight matches (W6, D2). Eintracht have fought back from a losing position to get a positive result a league-high nine times in 2020/21 (W3, D6), including in the reverse fixture, which they won 2-1.
KRAMARIC VS. SILVA
Kramaric has scored 13 goals in 15 league appearances in 2020/21 - one more than across the entire previous campaign. Silva has scored more goals than any Frankfurt player after 19 games of a Bundesliga season (16). Seventeen would be a career-best return. Who will steal the show today?

WATCH: WELCOME TO SINSHEIM!
HOFFENHEIM TEAM NEWS
TSG were one of several teams to make a late move in the transfer market, signing USMNT defender Richards on loan from Bayern for the rest of the season. The youngster played under Hoeneß as Bayern's second team won the 3. Liga last season, and the American immediately comes in to start ahead of Adams. Kaderabek is on the bench once more awaiting his first start since Matchday 3, but Sessegnon remains out.
FRANKFURT TEAM NEWS
Silva continues as the lone striker for Die Adler, who have won six of their last seven games, with Younes and Kamada as the closest in support. Durm's knee was the only real question mark affecting Sunday's starting line-up, but he is fit to start.
