Bundesliga Preview

There is no denying that Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen are in the race for the German title this term, but the busy period of matches in December could ultimately shape their campaign. The German side comes into this upcoming round after playing out draws in each of their previous two.

However, their entertaining 1-1 draw against Stuttgart wasn’t the worst result in the context of the title race, as it saw them extend their advantage over Bayern Munich to four points. It was a testing fixture for Leverkusen last weekend, as they were tested defensively by an improving Stuttgart side throughout the match. However, Florian Wirtz netted their effort in the eventual draw, which was probably the fairest result based on the performances of both sides.

There’s little doubt that Eintracht Frankfurt can be one of the most entertaining sides in the Bundesliga when they bring their A-game to the table, and that was evident last weekend. Frankfurt were sensational against Bayern Munich last Saturday, as they recorded a stunning 5-1 home success against the defending champions. 

They netted three times in the opening 36 minutes, before two final efforts were fired home in the second period. Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe was one of the star performers on that afternoon for Frankfurt, as he netted twice. However, a second straight win will be required this weekend to send them to within touching distance of the European spots in the league.

Home victories are one of the most common results when these sides meet in the Bundesliga. That is evident by the fact that each of the last eleven Bundesliga clashes between the sides have been won by the side with home field advantage. Leverkusen have landed wins in each of their last eight home matches against Frankfurt. 

Bayer Leverkusen vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction

The record of home victories in this fixture is impossible to ignore when it comes to making a selection this weekend. Therefore, we will be siding with Leverkusen landing maximum points in front of their home fans to open up a gap at the top of the standings.
