Bayer Leverkusen welcomes Eintracht Frankfurt for a match of 2 of the top 5 Bundesliga sides

Bayer is coming into this game having drawn Holstein Kiel 2-2 Oct. 5, its last Bundesliga match. It has drawn 2 straight games and is just 1-1-1 at home.

Bayer has tallied 11 goals in its last 4 matches yet has had more than 2.1 expected goals in just 1 of those 4. It has allowed 1 or fewer goals in 2 of its last 4 games.

Leverkusen is led by a tag-team duo of F Victor Boniface and M Florian Wirtz, who have each netted 4 goals this season.

Eintracht sits 3rd in the Bundesliga after 6 league games. It has tallied 14 goals through those matches and allowed 9, possessing the 3rd-best goal differential.

Eintracht has tallied at least 2 goals in 5 straight games and is 4-1-0 in those. It has notched at least 1.2 expected goals in every game this season and given at least 1.0.

Frankfurt is led by F Omar Marmoush, who has netted 8 goals and 4 assists, both team-highs.

Bayer hasn’t necessarily dominated opponents at home, so while it is a long shot, it is a worthy play to take a draw. Bayer sits 5th in the league, while Eintracht sits 3rd, and Leverkusen drew its last home game and has drawn its last 2.

Eintracht has one of the most dynamic offenses in the league and has scored at least 3 goals in its last 4 games throughout all competitions, having drawn 2 of those. Considering the recent draws for both sides, expect a close match.
