BERLIN (Reuters) - Streaks are made to be broken but for RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt, who meet in the Bundesliga on Saturday, it will be all about starting new ones as they bid for a top-four spot.
Both Champions League teams saw their runs end two weeks ago, with Leipzig losing to Union Berlin to snap an 18-game unbeaten streak in all competitions, and Frankfurt going down to Cologne to end their own undefeated run since November.
Hosts Leipzig will have fit-again Christopher Nkunku in the squad with the France international having recovered from a months-long injury break and having made a substitute appearance against City and in last week's Bundesliga win at Vfl Wolfsburg. But the France forward, who replaced the injured Nkunku at the World Cup in Qatar and has scored 10 league goals and set up another 10 this season, will be on the pitch on Saturday.
