Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt square off in an important match at the Bay Arena on Saturday in the Bundesliga’s return to the fold. Eintracht Frankfurt is currently ranked sixth in the Bundesliga and has performed admirably thus far this season. This week, the away team beat Union Berlin comfortably by a score of 2-0, and they will try to do the same in this match.
On the other hand, Bayer Leverkusen are currently in seventh place in the league table and have been inconsistent this season. In their previous match, the hosts defeated FC Schalke 04 with ease, winning 3-0, and they will be optimistic going into this one.
Prediction
Bayer Leverkusen have figured out how to hit a purple fix this month and are in superb structure right now. This season, Florian Wirtz has really come into his own and will try to make a name for himself in this game.
This season, Eintracht Frankfurt has also stepped up and has the potential to be explosive on their day. At the moment, both teams are on an even footing and could draw this weekend.
Prediction: Eintracht Frankfurt beat Bayer Leverkusen 2-2.

- Bayer Leverkusen have won every one of their last eight home games against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga and have scored a sum of 29 objectives during this period.

Team news
Due to back and groin injuries, Leverkusen will remain without Andrey Lunev and Patrik Schick, while Nadem Amiri’s muscle strain appears likely to keep him out of contention.
Alonso’s only change may be to reintegrate Azmoun into his starting XI at the expense of Amine Adli after the Iran forward scored a late clincher after coming on as a substitute in Gelsenkirchen. Last time out, Alonso put together a clinical away performance against Schalke.
Frankfurt, in the mean time, will go without Jesper Lindstrom and Hrvoje Smolcic because of lower leg and knee issues separately, while Christopher Lenz and Almamy Toure are probably not going to be involved because of hip issues.
Because Makoto Hasebe is getting older, he probably won’t start for the second time in five days. This means that Tuta could be in charge of the visitors’ back three. Daichi Kamada, on the other hand, probably won’t start because he only played on the bench against Union Berlin in Tuesday’s cup win.
