With Die Werkself sitting seventh on the Bundesliga standings, level on points with five other teams, including the almighty Bayern Munich, they cannot afford to drop any points. A win on the road could potentially catapult them to second-place, leapfrogging Wolfsburg in the process.

It is expected to be a ball-breaker of a game at the Commerzbank-Arena, as Frankfurt are expected to give the visitors a run for their money. Whichever way this match eventually pans out, it promises to be a very interesting and engaging one.

Adi Hutter’s charges should have headed to the international break with a win, securing back-to-back victories in the process. However, they were dealt a huge blow by a determined Werder Bremen side who hassled and harried to hold them to a 2-2 draw.

Praises should be reserved for Die Adler and his men for their strong start to the Bundesliga campaign, registering just two defeats in seven games so far. They have been nothing short of superb when playing on home soil, turning the Commerzbank-Arena into something of a fortress this season.

They are yet to taste defeat in their last four Bundesliga games on this arena. Given that the hosts have managed nothing more than a point in each of the last home games, the safest punt would be a double chance in favour of Bayer Leverkusen.

On the other hand, Bayer Leverkusen have been on cloud-9 this season to move level on points with Bundesliga giants such as Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg. This is one of the strongest starts to a season they have managed in recent years.

Furthermore, the visitors are on an impressive unbeaten run of their own, picking up three points in two of their last three clashes. Their most recent home game saw them share the spoils with fourth placed with RB Leipzig who are level on points and goal difference with Freiburg.

Prior to that hard-fought game on the road for Leverkusen, they annihilated hapless Augsburg at the BayArena, slotting three unanswered goals past the opposition’s goalkeeper.

When it comes to head-to-head meetings, it is worth noting that the visitors have the upper hand, winning four in five against the same opposition in all competitions.

Topping it all up, Frankfurt have not managed a clean sheet in their last three Bundesliga games on home turf. In that time, the visitors have registered a win on the road, albeit against serial Bundesliga strugglers Augsburg.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Eintracht Frankfurt: Marco Russ, Kevin Trapp.

Leverkusen: Charles Aránguiz, Daley Sinkgraven.
