Bayer Leverkusen will host Eintracht Frankfurt in a crucial match for both sides, counding for the 30th round of the German 1.Bundesliga.
Bayer Leverkusen is on fire right now, winning 4 games in a row in Bundesliga with a 8-0 goal difference. They seem to be playing better and better, as their last two performances were really impressive: 3-0 over Wolfsburg and 2-0 in a tough road game at Koln. Bayer is currently 4th in the standings, 3 points ahead of Mainz and Gladbach (who lost this round). They are also just 1 point behind Hertha for the 3rd position, which qualifies directly for Champions League. As Such, Leverkusen is forced to keep up the winning ways and especially to win home games like these.
Eintracht Frankfurt is sitting on the 17th place, 1 point behind the 16th spot (playout position) and 3 points behind safety. The visitors definitely need points today, but their form and road record will not give them confidence. Eintracht lost 3 of the last 4 matches, including the last two and on top of that they have the worst record in the Bundesliga away from home (2-3-9).

Eintracht Frankfurt: Hradecky – Chandler, Abraham, Russ, Djakpa – Hasebe, Kittel – Huszti – Aigner, Ben-Hatira – Castaignos
Leverkusen’s only problem ahead of this match seems to be the long list of missing players. However, all guys who will start this game have played very well this season and Frankfurt also has plenty of injuries, so Bayer should be fine in this department.
Leverkusen is in excellent form recently, are desperate for a win and have all the tools to claim it, despite the fact that Eintracht is also highly motivated. Unfortunately for the visitors, they are playing poor football right now and are also the worst team in Bundesliga on the road.
Bayer’s offensive players have been in fine form recently, particularly Chicharito and Brandt. That makes me believe that the hosts have a very good chance of banging 2 or 3 goals. It should be enough to cover a 1 goal spread. My tip is Bayer Leverkusen to win with a 1,25 goal asian handicap. Prediction: Bayer Leverkusen – Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0.
Pick: Leverkusen (-1,25 Asian Handicap)
