Bundesliga Preview
Bayer Leverkusen have one of the most exciting young sides in the Bundesliga this season, but they will now find themselves at a crossroads. They have a big fixture this weekend against Frankfurt before they face Rangers in the Europa League next week. Peter Bosz may see the Europa League as a possible route into the Champions League, which means there may be changes for this fixture at the weekend against out of form Frankfurt.
Bayer have been in excellent form over their past four games in the league, as they have won three of those fixtures and drawn just once. Confidence will also be high within the camp, as they made it through to the semi-finals of the DFB Cup in midweek by beating Union Berlin 3-1. Bayer had to come from behind to win the game, with goals in the final 20 minutes from Karim Bellardabi, Charles Aranguiz and Moussa Diaby giving them the win. They dominant possession effectively throughout their fixtures and are ruthless when they get their chances, and that could be crucial for this fixture against Frankfurt.
Frankfurt have been anything other than clinical in their last two Bundesliga fixtures. They will come into this game against Bayer having lost their last two in the league. Those results leave them just eight points above the relegation places at present, but they were handed a boost in mid-week as they reached the semi-finals of the DFB Cup by beating Werder Bremen 2-0. Andre Silva and Daichi Kamada got the goals in the win. However, this will be a much bigger test for them.
Head To Head
Leverkusen has the advantage in the overall record between the two sides as they have won on 13 occasions. Frankfurt have won ten times, and there have been three draws. The last meeting between the sides ended in a 3-0 win for Frankfurt in October.
