VfL Wolfsburg has not celebrated more wins against any club in the Bundesliga than against Eintracht Frankfurt (22, as against Mönchengladbach and VfB Stuttgart); the Wolves are currently unbeaten in five games against the Hesse team (W3 D2). Away in Frankfurt, the Lower Saxony team even won six of the last seven Bundesliga duels (1L).
VfL Wolfsburg has scored in each of its last 22 Bundesliga games against Eintracht Frankfurt since a 0-2 home defeat in December 2012 – VfL has not managed such a long scoring streak against any other opponent in the Bundesliga. Conversely, Eintracht never had such a long streak of conceding goals against any other team.
VfL Wolfsburg has been winless in seven Bundesliga games (D5 L2), the last time that happened for the Wolves was from November 2021 to January 2022 under Florian Kohfeldt (9 games there). In 2024, VfL did not win a game (D5 L1), the only time the Lower Saxony team remained winless in the upper house was at the start of the year in 1998 (7 games at the time).
Eintracht Frankfurt has been winless in three Bundesliga games (D2 L1), only longer from matchday 2 to 6 under Dino Toppmöller (5 games). At home, the Hessians got 10 of the 12 possible points from the last four Bundesliga games (W3 D1) and only lost one of the last 20 games (1-2 against Stuttgart).
Since the 2-0 win in the first half of the season against Eintracht Frankfurt, VfL Wolfsburg has only won two of 16 Bundesliga games (6D 8L) – only Darmstadt 98 fewer (1). Frankfurt only suffered four Bundesliga defeats during this period – only Bayer 04 Leverkusen (0) and Borussia Dortmund (3) had fewer.
VfL Wolfsburg only got 24 points from its first 22 games of the season in the Bundesliga, as few as the last time in 2017/18, when they only managed to stay in the league through relegation (also 24 back then). With its 33 points, Eintracht Frankfurt is five points behind last season’s interim balance (38).
Eintracht Frankfurt (3) and VfL Wolfsburg (6) scored the fewest goals from set pieces this Bundesliga season. However, both teams only conceded eight goals each after dead balls, the league low being seven standard goals conceded (FC Bayern, 1. FC Köln, Bayer 04 Leverkusen).
VfL Wolfsburg was the only team to score three joker goals in the second half of the Bundesliga (Majer 2, Gerhardt) – not a single substitute player scored for VfL in the first half of the season. Eintracht Frankfurt is in shared second place with two joker goals in the second half of the season, both scored by Ansgar Knauff in the 3-3 draw in Freiburg – it was the first brace by an SGE joker since February 2022 (Ajdin Hrustic against Stuttgart).
After his 1-0 win in Freiburg in the 27th minute, Frankfurt’s Omar Marmoush became the first player in Bundesliga history to score eight goals in a row in the first 30 minutes of the game – the Egyptian also scored 1-0 five times this season, league-wide no player more often. He only scored five goals in 41 Bundesliga games for VfL Wolfsburg, but he scored nine times in 17 games for Eintracht.
As a Bundesliga coach, Wolfsburg coach Niko Kovac only experienced a longer winless streak than the current one with Wolfsburg (7 games) – in spring 2017 at Eintracht Frankfurt (10 games). Since leaving the SGE, he has only lost one of the seven competitive games against Frankfurt (W5 D1): 1-5 with FC Bayern in November 2019, after which he was released as FCB coach.
