Bundesliga
Currently, Bayer Leverkusen is in seventh place on the table with 40 points. They are seven points behind the top four zone, but still in contention for a spot in the Champions League next season, which is their main goal. Additionally, they are in excellent form, having won their last four league matches and have not lost in their last eight games (including all competitions). This gives them a lot of confidence going into the final stretch of the championship, where they will need to perform well. Bayer Leverkusen usually play very efficient matches (with a current goal difference of 48:40), averaging 3.38 goals per game. They will be without goalkeeper A. Lunev, midfielder N. Amiri (3 goals/1 assist), and forward P. Schick (3 goals/1 assist), while midfielder K. Demirbay (3 goals/3 assists) is doubtful to play.
Their expected lineup is a 3-4-3 formation: L. Hradecky as the goalkeeper, with O. Kossounou, J. Tah, and E. Tapsoba in defense. J. Frimpong, E. Palacios, R. Andrich, and M. Bakker will play in midfield, while M. Diaby, S. Azmoun, and F. Wirtz will be up front.
Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt is currently in a slump, having not won any of their last five matches in the Bundesliga. However, they did manage to defeat Union Berlin during the week in the national cup “DFB Pokal,” which could be a sign of better performances in the future. They have only one point ahead of their next opponent and are also among the teams looking for a spot in the Champions League next season. The popular “Eagles” also play high-scoring matches, with a goal difference of 47:37. They were once one of the best away teams in the league, but their recent performances have been disappointing. They now face a very important match against a direct rival in the “battle” for the top four. They will be without defenders C. Lenz (2 assists), H. Smolcic, and A. Toure, as well as midfielder J. Lindstrom (7 goals/2 assists).
Their expected lineup is a 3-4-1-2 formation: K. Trapp as the goalkeeper, with K. Jakic, Tuta, and E. Ndicka in defense. A. Knauff, S. Rode, D. Sow, and P. Max will play in midfield, while D. Kamada, R. Borre, and R. Kolo Muani will be up front.
Based on both teams’ tendency to score goals, a good prediction for the match is that both teams will score (GG), with odds of 1.70.
