Eintracht Frankfurt vs Bayer Leverkusen prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-02-28 17:30.
[p]Eintracht Frankfurt’s seven-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga came to an end in unceremonious fashion last week as they were thumped 4-0 by leaders Bayern Munich. It’s a result that highlighted what the Eagles are “still lacking to become a really top side” according to goalkeeper Kevin Trapp, and things don’t get any easier this week either as defending champions Bayer Leverkusen visit Deutsche Bank Park.[/p]
[p]Frankfurt are winless in their three prior matches against the two sides above them in the Bundesliga table this season (D1, L2), and another defeat could see them caught by a cluster of teams chasing the top four. Confidence can be found from a four-match unbeaten home run in the league, which includes notable victories over Freiburg and Dortmund, while Dino Toppmöller’s men have scored in every one of their Bundesliga matches here this term.[/p]
[p]Bayer Leverkusen’s defence will certainly test that after they secured a third consecutive Bundesliga clean sheet last weekend in a 2-0 win over Holstein Kiel. It was a crucial result for Die Werkself to keep them within eight points of leaders Bayern, but they’re heavily reliant on the leaders to slip up if they’re to put up a real fight of defending their title.[/p]
[p]Boss Xabi Alonso will be confident here given that he has avoided defeat in a new Bundesliga record 28 consecutive away games, with that streak including a thumping 5-1 win on this ground last season. Each of the last three top-flight H2Hs on this ground have seen at least one side net five times, but with Leverkusen on the losing end of two of those, some trepidation will be necessary in this heavyweight clash.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Can Uzun extended Frankfurt’s lead in their last Bundesliga home game, meaning all five of his goals this season have come on home turf (W3, D2). Victor Boniface made a successful return from injury with two goals in February and loves this opposition, scoring in all three of his H2Hs (W3). [/p]
[p]Hot stat: 19 of the last 21 H2Hs in all competitions produced over 2.5 total goals. [/p]
