The newly-crowned German champions Bayer Leverkusen don’t seem to have jumped on the breaks in the Bundesliga with the team continuing to put out great performance after great performance. Now they will have a tricky visit to Frankfurt against an Eintracht team that despite struggling with form are still hanging on to the 6th spot.
Eintracht Frankfurt Team News
Eintracht Frankfurt currently occupy the 6th spot in the Bundesliga and while struggling to maintain good form in the league still has a good chance to qualify for continental football next season. Still, just 1 victory in the last 5 fixtures is certainly a cause for concern, especially when you have a game against the champions. The good news for The Eagles is that they are unbeaten across any of their last 4 home games. Three of those games featured over 2.5 goals, and 4 saw both teams scoring, which means that Eintracht managed to keep just 1 clean sheet. This tendency to leak goals is certainly one that Bayer will be looking to exploit.
Bayer Leverkusen Team News
Xabi Alonso’s team are already crowned as champions and can freely focus on the Europa League all while putting the Bundesliga as a second priority, but we have not seen anything of the sort. Bayer Leverkusen is playing some good football yet on the domestic scene and there does not seem to be any indication of slowing down. The unbeaten streak for Die Werkself continues and their goal-scoring tendency is on full display with the team having scored at least 1 goal in all of their last 5 league fixtures. Three of them featured over 2.5 goals and in 2 of them Bayer Leverkusen kept a clean sheet.
Head-to-Head-Games
In the last 5 match-ups between these two sides, there have been 3 victories for Bayer Leverkusen and 2 for Eintracht Frankfurt. Four of those games featured goal tallies north of 2.5 and on 3 occasions both sides managed to net a goal. Interestingly enough, Eintracht have won across all of the last 5 times they hosted Bayer and all of those games featured over 2.5 goals.

Eintracht Frankfurt – Bayer Leverkusen Betting Prediction
Given the fact that Eintracht will be looking to win and that Bayer Leverkusen is not slowing down in the league, I expect an open game with goals. That is why I will pick over 2.5 goals here. Additionally, games between these two teams have historically featured lots of goals, especially when hosted by Eintracht. Circumstances for this trend to continue seem favourable and I expect that this game will be the latest to keep the tradition of big results between these 2 sides.
