Ekitiké woe

Eintracht have huffed and puffed in this half but Ekitiké sums up the visitors' efforts since the break by fluffing his lines when played in by Collins. Frankfurt are just not good enough today but they'll look to improve with European competition still very much on the cards.

Bredlow alert

Max's left-footed stinger has Bredlow scrambling to palm out. Solid save from the Stuttgart custodian.

Applause for Undav

Deniz Undav heads off to huge applause. The striker has scored and provided an assist today and now sits on 16 Bundesliga goals for the campaign. Jeong and Dahoud are on for the hosts.

Stuttgart are playing with fire as they try to play out from the back. Hasebe nips in and is upended by Stiller, who is booked. Marmoush batters the susequent free kick at goal but Bredlow is there to parry away.

Top marks Buta

Buta whips a dangerous ball into the centre which Ekitiké just can't reach, despite stretching for it.

69'

Undav had a go

Guirassy squares for Undav, who pulls a shot wide of the far post from the penalty spot. In a half of few chances, that was VfB's best this 45'.

68'

Ball Recovery Time

Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Stuttgart's record win over Frankfurt stands at 4-0. Eintracht have perhaps looked more like making it 3-1 in this second half but the hosts will be keeping one eye on a new high against the Eagles.

A quick set-piece from Stuttgart lands at the feet of Leweling, who cuts inside his man and drills low into Trapp's hands.

Almost Eintracht

Fares Chaibi gets to the end line and cuts back for Ekitiké, who is crowded out a yard from goal. That probably should have been 3-1.

Hasebe lands studs up on Stiller, who goes down in a heap. Yellow card for the Japanese player.

Half-time: Stuttgart 3-0 Frankfurt

The hosts are cruising against an out-of-sorts Eintracht. Serhou Guirassy opened the scoring with a VfB record-breaking 25th Bundesliga goal of the season while further strikes from the excellent Deniz Undav and Jamie Leweling have Stuttgart out of sight right now.

Man down

Jean-Matteo Bahoya has a problem and needs to come to the sideline for some treatment. The 18-year-old looks in some discomfort, but signals to the bench that he should be ok to go on.

VfB cruising

Leweling races onto Undav's through ball, approaches Trapp and plays the ball under the Eintracht keeper. This is all a little too easy for the home side, not that their fans care.

Marmoush thwacks a shot at the target which goes through Bredlow's gloves and smacks the keeper right in the grill. Nübel's stand-in will need a little treatment but should be fine to continue.

Stuttgart's striker finishes high into the net having been played through, but his effort has been flagged for offside. But wait! We'll have a VAR check on this.

Stuttgart's strong start

The home side are passing it around comfortably as they continue to boss the ball. Eintracht are set up to counter, with Knauff almost pulling off a successful counter-thrust, before losing possession.

Open encounter

This game is being played at a high tempo thus far and it looks like we could well be in for an end-to-end belter.

Eagles also in it

Frankfurt respond quickly with Marmoush chasing a long ball over the top. Stuttgart stand-in keeper Bredlow is off his line to hoof clear.

Home comforts

VfB start like a house on fire. Führich is sniffing around for a way through as Eintracht stand with their backs to the wall.

Game on!

Eintracht get the ball rolling on this Matchday 29 fixture. Settle in.

Hasebe experience

Eintracht's 40-year-old veteran Makoto Hasebe starts for the second time in the Bundesliga this season. The Japan legend looks set to play in midfield for Dino Toppmöller's side at the MHPArena.

More on those teams

VfB are without goalkeeper Alexander Nübel - who recently extended his loan spell at Stuttgart. The custodian is missing with a muscular injury today, meaning Fabian Bredlow is set to make a fourth Bundesliga start this season between the posts. Full-back Leonidas Stergiou, meanwhile, starts only his second game of the season for the hosts. The 18-year-old French attacker, Jean-Matteo Bahoya, is in from the get-go for the first time for Eintracht here.

Hoeneß's thoughts on Frankfurt

"It's a top game against a very good Frankfurt team. They've cemented their place in the top six. They have a strong squad of players and a lot of pace, especially in attack. We know Omar Marmoush from his time in Stuttgart. He's having a great season. They'll be a tough nut to crack."

Toppmöller's thoughts on Stuttgart

"We're lagging a bit behind because of all the draws. We've lost as many times as VfB, so both teams are hard to beat. We're confident we can match Stuttgart and beat them."
