Eintracht Frankfurt vs Bayer Leverkusen Predictions

• The last five meetings between these two have produced 22 goals
• There have been four goals or more in 12 of Bayer Leverkusen’s 23 Bundesliga matches this season
• Both sides have scored and Bayer Leverkusen have won in three of the last four Bundesliga head-to-heads

High-scoring affair fancied

Games between Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt tend to be high-scoring affairs and their latest meeting looks set to be no different.

The last five head-to-heads have produced 22 goals and seven of the last nine head meetings between these two have seen both teams score.

Leverkusen’s usual attacking behemoth has slowed somewhat in recent weeks with a pair of goalless draws against Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg but they have still netted 51 goals in 23 league games.

Realistically the defending Bundesliga champions are the only side that can stop Bayern Munich, they currently sit eight points behind the Bavarians in the table.

Leverkusen to keep up title chase

In third are Frankfurt however so they will not make things easy for Leverkusen in this clash, their total of 49 goals scored in 23 matches is just two behind the visitors.

Hugo Ekitike has been a big reason for that with 12 league goals as he attempts to fill the hole left by previous strike partner Omar Marmoush’s departure for Manchester City.

The hosts fell to a 4-0 defeat to Bayern last time out and this game is also fancied to see over 3.5 goals.

Both teams to score is a staple of meetings between these two so a 3-1 away win is the correct score pick.
