Eintracht Frankfurt vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen: Match Prediction
Eintracht Frankfurt have regularly dropped points this season in matches where bookmakers consider them favorites. Matches against strong opponents have been particularly difficult for the home side. Bayer 04 Leverkusen, despite inconsistent results, belong to that category of strong opponents. Even in better times it was hard for Eintracht Frankfurt to deal with Leverkusen, as evidenced by six consecutive defeats in head-to-head Bundesliga meetings.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen look decent away in the current championship. The visiting team has not lost in 5 of 8 matches (4 wins, 1 draw), but two defeats came against Bayern and Hoffenheim. Note that in the matches they lost the visitors failed to score, while in the other games they scored at least twice. It is unlikely that the home side, which concedes more goals than many of the tournament's outsiders, will be able to shut down the visitors' attack.
Prediction: Bayer 04 Leverkusen Not To Lose And Over 1.5 Goals
