Bayer Leverkusen vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction & Betting Tips (19 October)

As reigning champion, Bayer Leverkusen is expected to turn the corner by observers but also by its opponents who are not giving them much respite. Logically, the Usine 11 is less successful than last year and, after winning a final victory in the league against Wolfsburg 4-3 at the end of added time, it conceded two draws, against Bayern Munich. 1-1 and, more problematically, against Holstein Kiel 2-2 before the international break. These two poor performances pushed Xabi Alonso's men back to 5th position in the standings. At the same time, Bayer Leverkusen got off to a good start in the Champions League with two successes against Feyenoord 0-4 and AC Milan 1-0 .

Opposite, Eintracht Frankfurt is also rather in sight at the start seasonal. After being able to take 6th place in the ranking last season, the Capricious Diva is on pace to the point of being in 3rd place in the ranking, only a small point behind Bayern Munich who are the leader. Undefeated since the first day, Hugo Ekitike's partners won 4 victories in a row against Hoffenheim 3-1, Wolfsburg 1-2, Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-0 and Holstein Kiel 2-4 before snatching a point against Bayern Munich 3-3 on the last day. At the same time, the Eagles were held to a draw by Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League 3-3 but they recovered by winning against Besiktas 1-3 .

Once again, Xabi Alonso has the luxury of being able to count on all of his strength to tackle this delicate encounter. Also, the Spanish technician should be able to field his nugget Florian Wirtz (4 goals and 1 assist in the Bundeslig + 2 goals in the Champions League). We should also find striker Boniface at the kick-off who scored his 4th league goal of the season on the last day. Against Holstein Kiel, midfielder Hofmann was able to unlock his score, he who is relegated to a substitute role this season. The pistons Frimpong (1 goal, 1 assist) and Grimaldo (1 goal, 1 assist) will certainly also start. On the Eintracht side, the young midfielder Oscar Hojlund is still on the floor currently.

Midfielder Loune and defender Koch could also be missing, as could former Parisian goalkeeper Trapp who missed the Bayern reception and who is uncertain for this trip. On the other hand, we should find in this team the former Parisian Hugo Ekitike (2 goals, 2 assists in the Bundesliga) but also and above all the Egyptian striker Marmoush who is having an excellent start to the season with already 8 goals and 4 assists. in 6 days. He also remains on a double scored against Bayern.
