H2H: Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Bayer Leverkusen – Result prediction (18.10.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Eintracht Frankfurt welcome Bayer Leverkusen with a mixed record across their last 11 Bundesliga home H2Hs (W6, L5). All of Frankfurt’s victories during that period arrived by a slim one goal-margin, with five ending via a 2-1 scoreline – including the last H2H held here. It’s worth noting, however, that the hosts haven’t won consecutive home H2Hs since 1995. The hosts do enter this match on a three-game unbeaten Bundesliga run (W1, D2), but did concede a first-half opener in both draws. At home though, Frankfurt remain unbeaten this league campaign (W2, D2), but have struggled early on. They conceded a first-half opener in the three home games where both teams scored, with two seeing Frankfurt trail 1-0 at the break.

Eintracht Frankfurt have lost four of their last five Bundesliga games against Leverkusen – their only win during this period came at home in December 2018 (2-1). The previous meeting saw the highest defeat in this meeting, as Leverkusen won 6-1. Frankfurt haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their last 18 home games against Leverkusen – their longest such run against a single opponent in their Bundesliga history. Eintracht Frankfurt have taken 11 points from their first seven Bundesliga games of the season. They last had as many in 2016/17 and more in 2012/13 (16).Leverkusen have won more Bundesliga games against Frankfurt than they have against any other current top-flight side (31, same vs Schalke). Seven or more goals in a Bundesliga game have never come quicker than they did in Leverkusen’s 6-1 victory over Frankfurt last season. No more goals were scored after the 36th minute.

Leverkusen travel here unbeaten in three Bundesliga matches (W2, D1), after opening the scoring in all three. Both wins came ‘to nil’, and saw Leverkusen win one half by a 2-0 scoreline. Away from home, the visitors have won two of their three league games so far (L1), but just one of those matches witnessed both teams score. Interestingly, of the six halves of top-flight away football they have played this season, Leverkusen won three ‘to nil’ whilst losing the other three ‘to nil’.
