Eintracht Frankfurt vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen: Match Prediction
Eintracht Frankfurt regularly drop points this season in matches where they are favourites according to bookmakers. Matches against strong opponents do not suit the home side. Bayer 04 Leverkusen, despite inconsistent results, falls into that category. Even at their best it has been difficult for Eintracht Frankfurt against Leverkusen, as shown by six consecutive defeats in head-to-head Bundesliga meetings.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen look decent away in the current championship. The team has avoided defeat in 5 of 8 matches (4 wins, 1 draw), but the two defeats were against Bayern Munich and TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. It should be noted that the team failed to score in those losses, while in the other matches it scored at least twice. Eintracht Frankfurt, which concedes more than even the league's bottom sides, is unlikely to be able to stifle the visitors' attack.
Prediction: Bayer 04 Leverkusen To Win Or Draw And Over 1.5 Goals
