Bayer Leverkusen vs Eintracht Frankfurt

Bayer Leverkusen are seeking their first win of the season as they host Eintracht Frankfurt in a Friday night German Bundesliga fixture.

The hosts will be hoping for some new manager bounce, while the visitors are looking to maintain their perfect start. Both teams have quality going forward and are likely to serve up a thrilling contest in this one.

Bayer Leverkusen News

It is only two games in, and Bayer Leverkusen are already enduring a turbulent campaign. They are winless in their opening two Bundesliga matches, losing 2-1 at home on match-day one before a 3-3 draw at Werder Bremen last time out.

This poor start has already led to a managerial change, with Kasper Hjulmand replacing Erik Ten Hag at the helm. The new boss will be hoping to settle quickly, and Bayer Leverkusen have a good record at home as they are unbeaten in four of their last five Bundesliga matches in front of their fans.

One of the problems for Bayer Leverkusen is a vulnerable backline, having conceded five goals already in just two matches, while also scoring four times across both fixtures. Five of their last six matches have produced over 2.5 goals, while there have been over 1.5 first-half goals in almost five of those fixtures.

Eintracht Frankfurt News

In contrast to the hosts, Eintracht Frankfurt are enjoying a fine start to the season, having won their opening two Bundesliga matches. They began with a 4-1 home victory over Werder Bremen before a 3-1 win at Hoffenheim last time out.

The goals have flowed freely this season for Eintracht Frankfurt, who also claimed a 5-0 victory at Engers in the first round of the DFB Pokal. Their three matches across all competitions this season have produced over 2.5 goals, with all three fixtures also offering up over 1.5 goals in the first half.

Eintracht Frankfurt have traveled well lately and are unbeaten in four of their last five Bundesliga away matches. Dino Toppmoller’s team have also won at least one half in their last three Bundesliga away matches.

Head to Head

Bayer Leverkusen often come out on top in this fixture and have nine wins against Eintracht Frankfurt, who have picked up just three victories. The hosts did the double last season, winning 2-1 at home before a 4-1 away victory in the reverse fixture.

Verdict

Bayer Leverkusen v Eintracht Frankfurt

This fixture often serves up goals, with four of the last five matches between Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt producing over 2.5 goals. Having also offered up over 1.5 first-half goals in those four matches, a similar pattern could be on the cards here.

Bayer Leverkusen may have a good record in this fixture but have looked a shadow of themselves this term. Eintracht Frankfurt will view Friday's clash as a chance to get one over their rivals and should maintain their recent trend of winning at least one half.
