Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt are set for an intriguing Bundesliga clash. Leverkusen recently drew against Bayern Munich (1-1) and Holstein Kiel (2-2), the latter being particularly disappointing as they squandered a two-goal lead. Coach Xabi Alonso faces challenges, notably the indefinite absence of star playmaker Florian Wirtz due to an ankle injury sustained during the UEFA Nations League.
Despite this setback, Leverkusen has shown offensive prowess, scoring at least twice in nine of their last ten matches. They have a strong home record, winning their last nine encounters against Frankfurt.
Frankfurt, on the other hand, has bounced back impressively after a rough start to the season, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches. Their last outing was a thrilling 3-3 draw against Bayern Munich. This match will be their first significant away test since winning their last two away games.
Historically, this matchup favors Leverkusen, who have not drawn any of their last 19 meetings with Frankfurt. They have dominated recent encounters, winning the last three by scores of 5-1, 3-0, and 3-1. Despite Wirtz’s injury, Leverkusen's depth should see them through as they aim to maintain their strong home form and capitalize on Frankfurt's vulnerabilities.
