Eintracht Frankfurt vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Betting tips
For the Eintracht Frankfurt the eighth matchday last season was of immense importance. At that time, the Hesse defeated namely Fortuna Dusseldorf 7: 1 and thus underpinned for the first time the high standards that could be underlined with continuous duration both in international competition and in the Bundesliga.
Certainly, the leaders of the Adlerträger would not mind, even if in the new season the eighth game in the aftermath a special importance would be attached. On Friday evening there will be a highly anticipated duel between Frankfurt and Leverkusen. According to the odds, the Werkself are the favorites, although the SGE has been the second best home team in the Bundesliga with two wins and two rounds.
Nevertheless, the Leverkusen last left the more stable impression. For three matches, the Bosz-Elf is unbeaten, ever there was for the Rhinelander after seven encounters only a single bankruptcy. The consequence of the satisfying start is the fact that Bayer could jump into the table overnight in the table with an away win in the Commerzbank Arena.
However, because the Eintracht presented themselves as an uncomfortable opponent before the international break and traditionally difficult to beat in front of their own fans, we would waive a prediction on the game between Frankfurt and Leverkusen and instead put the Tor market in the spotlight.
We assume that the game will be quite spectacular and tend towards the rather unconventional Frankfurt vs. Germany. Leverkusen tip to play that both teams come in the first half at least one goal.
Frankfurt:
After the last two seasons, the sporting expectations in the German financial capital have risen noticeably. The cup victory 2018 and the impressive European Cup run in the past season have forced the fans to expect some of their harmony again in 2019/2020.
It was very easy to see that the gap between demand and reality did not get too big during the first weeks of the season. In the first four games of the black-red-whites conceded two defeats and also botched the opening match in the UEFA Europa League at home against Arsenal FC (0: 3).
In the most recent competitive games before the international break, the team of coach Adi Hütter but got better and better momentum. Although it was enough in the home games against Dortmund and Bremen in each case only to a 2-2 draw, but the performances were satisfactory. In the 2-1 win at Union Berlin and the narrow 1-0 victory in Guimaraes were also retracted important threesome.
The self-confidence has clearly increased after four unbeaten competitive games in a row and yet the SBU 2019/2020 is far from being compared with the team that 2018/2019, including Marseille, Benfica Lisbon, Inter Milan or Lazio Rome in the barriers.
In particular, the midfield does not act as a desirable link between the defensive three-string and the attackers. With Sow, Rode and Fernandes / Kohr all three center players have their strengths more in the ball conquest or in the duel behavior. The necessary creativity, on which the strikers Silva, Dost or Paciencia are dependent, is thereby lost.
If coach Adi Hütter decides on two defensive midfielders and a classic tens such as Daichi Kamada, then there is often a lack of stability in the game against the ball. In four of the seven Bundesliga matches so far, the Adlerträger have conceded at least two goals. The now injured keeper Kevin Trapp and his back-up Frederik Rönnow had to go six times alone in the first half.
Among other things, we therefore keep a hint between Frankfurt and Leverkusen on a relatively high-scored first round for plausible reasons. In addition, it can be said that the successors of last year’s Eintracht buffalo herd (Jovic, Rebic, Haller) also have a strong goalie. At least one Eintracht striker has always hit the last six matchdays. In total, eight of the eleven goals go to the account of Silva, Paciencia and Dost.
In addition to the mentioned Kevin Trapp Lucas Torro and Sahverdi Cetin will be missing due to injury in the squad of the table below. Behind the use of Daichi Kamada is also a question mark, as the Japanese comes back late in the week of the international matches with the national team. By contrast, Bas Dost and Almamy Toure have recovered from their injuries and are options for the starting lineup.
Leverkusen:
During his time with Borussia Dortmund, the courageous playing style of coach Peter Bosz was often called into question. The many goals scored at that time, however, were in no good relation to the number of goals. The high pressing line was regularly dubbed by perfectly adjusted counterparties and the black-yellow defense thus exposed.
In Leverkusen, the Dutch head coach has so far not struggled with such difficulties in both extremes. On the one hand, the offense with twelve goals in seven matches does not click as desired. On the other hand, the eight collected goals compared to the league tip can be quite impressive. Statistically, the Werkself play really atypical Bosz football.
As far as the results are concerned, those responsible for sporting director Rudi Völler can be satisfied with the cut to date. With four successes, two draws and a single defeat (0: 4 in Dortmund) ranked the Rhinelander in seventh place, but given the close distances on Friday night, the opportunity to leap for the first time after five years dry spell back to the top of the table.
Prerequisite for this would be an away win, the match against Frankfurt. Leverkusen according to the quotas with a probability of 41%.
The Champions League contenders, who compete in Atletico Madrid on Tuesday in the premier class, are favorites and will certainly do their utmost to land their third success abroad in their fourth attempt this season.
In this endeavor, the Werkself builds especially on the extremely strong form Kevin Volland. The former international met at least once in the last three Bundesliga match days and could now set a new personal record with the fourth successful game in a row. The confidence is great, especially since the Ex-Hoffenheimer met in his career against no other first division more often than against the SBU (eight goals in eight games).
To our Frankfurt vs. Leverkusen’s prediction to reiterate a two-sided scoring in the first 45 minutes, is also said that Bayer scored eight of the twelve goals in the first half.
When it comes to defensiveness, good values should not blind you to the fact that in the most probable case of another very offensive orientation, there will definitely be room for concord.
With Charles Aranguiz and Daley Sinkgraven, two potential regulars remain injured. Jonathan Tah had to cancel his participation in the internationals of the DFB-Elf illness-related, but should be fit until Friday. Also Lars Bender and Leon Bailey are expected to be available again.
