Match Prediction: Bayer 04 Leverkusen 2-2 Eintracht Frankfurt

Bayer 04 Leverkusen's recent form suggests a team struggling to secure victories, with a draw against Werder Bremen and a loss to TSG Hoffenheim. 

Their attacking prowess remains evident, but Frankfurt's potent attack could exploit their defensive frailties. 

Eintracht Frankfurt, on the other hand, has been in fine form, securing convincing wins against Hoffenheim and Werder Bremen. Their ability to score freely and maintain a solid defence could pose significant challenges for Leverkusen.

Despite Leverkusen's recent struggles, their home advantage and historical dominance over Frankfurt might help them edge out a close contest. Frankfurt's confidence and current form, however, cannot be underestimated, promising a match filled with tactical battles and potential for high scoring.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen's recent performances indicate a team capable of scoring but vulnerable at the back. Their 3-3 draw against Werder Bremen and a 1-2 loss to TSG Hoffenheim highlight a need for defensive solidity. This inconsistency might affect their confidence going into the match against Frankfurt, yet their attacking flair could still pose a threat.
