by Daniel Ngulu | in Bundesliga Predictions
Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen are set to host Eintracht Frankfurt as the two sides resume action after the international break. Die Werkself will go into the weekend placed fifth, two places behind Die Adler. Both teams have shown intent to challenge for the title this season, making this a big match, and we will offer predictions of the likely outcomes.
For a side that won the Bundesliga unbeaten last season, Leverkusen’s title defence already looks wobbly. While they haven't lost their attacking punch, defensively the champions haven't been any close to last season’s performance.
In a fixture that rarely produces draws, Frankfurt will hope the coin flips in their favor after struggling in recent times against Leverkusen. The visitors have started the season strongly and will hope to carry the same run to this fixture. At the BayArena, the venue for this game, Frankfurt are winless in their last 11 visits.

Bayer Leverkusen - Eintracht Frankfurt: Form Analysis
Ahead of the international break, Bayer Leverkusen posted two draws in Bundesliga, losing ground on the leading pack. They will resume hoping to avoid any more slips like what was witnessed in their last match.
The champions lost a 2-0 lead at home to draw 2-2 with new boys Holstein Kiel. While it represented a sixth unbeaten outing for Leverkusen, their domestic form isn’t great.
Xabi Alonso’s side has only won half of the six league matches so far and already tasted defeat. Four times in those six matches, they conceded more than a goal.
Leverkusen scored in all their league matches so far but have no clean sheet. No team in the top half has conceded as many goals as Leverkusen (12). That’s already half the total they conceded last season in the league.
Both teams are doing well in attack but struggling in defence.
Eintracht Frankfurt will be looking at Leverkusen’s woes with glee, especially the defensive troubles. The visitors are enjoying a great run, recovering well after their opening day defeat at Borussia Dortmund.
In the seven matches coming after that loss, Frankfurt are unbeaten, with five wins. In those seven matches, Dino Toppmöller’s side scored at least two goals. This will be a big weapon going into the match, but they haven't been great defensively either.
In nine matches this season, Frankfurt registered just one clean sheet. After Leverkusen, they have the poorest defence among the top five teams. Frankfurt have also struggled lately against Leverkusen, losing in the last three meetings.

Bayer Leverkusen & Eintracht Frankfurt Squad Analysis
The international break had a heavy toll on Bayer Leverkusen, as their forward, German Florian Wirtz was injured on duty. It isn’t clear for how long Wirtz will be out, but he has a suspected ankle injury.
His absence will be massive for the hosts but Victor Boniface’s availability, and form softens the blow. The forward has six goals this season and should be fresh enough for this game after Nigeria’s game against Libya was canceled.
With Wirtz out, Leverkusen seem the hardest hit on the injuries’ front but Boniface should be able to step up.
At Eintracht Frankfurt, the focus will be on Egyptian international Omar Marmoush. The forward has scored 10 times already for club and country.
In the Bundesliga, he leads the charts with eight goals and will be a threat, looking at Leverkusen’s defensive form. The visitors are, however, likely to be without Oscar Hojlund, who is reportedly nursing an ankle injury.

Our Bayer Leverkusen vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction
In each of these teams’ last four matches, at least two ended in draws. Shared spoils might be an appealing bet here but the goals market looks more straightforward. Two sides in really good scoring form face off at the BayArena on Saturday.
Frankfurt’s last five matches had 24 goals and Leverkusen’s five produced 18. Furthermore, these aren’t teams that are big on clean sheets. What more can we look forward to other than an entertaining game!
Our main prediction for Bayer Leverkusen v Eintracht Frankfurt is for over 3.5 goals.
Bayer Leverkusen vs Eintracht Frankfurt - Other Interesting Predictions
Both teams to score
As noted in the competing teams’ recent matches, clean sheets have been a rare commodity. With emphasis on attack, Bayer Leverkusen have just a clean sheet in 10 league matches. The same is the situation with Frankfurt’s last 10 matches.
Meanwhile, the two teams rarely fail to score in the Bundesliga. As such, we will back both teams to score as our second prediction.
