Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Bayer Leverkusen will be aiming to cement top position in the standings when they take on Eintracht Frankfurt in a highly-anticipated Bundesliga game on Sunday afternoon. Xabi Alonso’s men played out a draw with Stuttgart at the weekend and, no doubt, they are eager to start a new winning run in the league as soon as possible. The former Liverpool midfielder has a full squad to choose from except for goalkeeper Arthur.
Die Adler, on the other hand, produced a splendid performance in a 5-1 crushing of Bayern Munich and given their attacking potential, yet another high-scoring is on the cards at BayArena. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Bayer Leverkusen have turned their stadium into a real fortress under Xabi Alonso. Omar Marmoush misses out through suspension, while all Mehdi Loune, Sebastian Rode, Timothy Chandler, Kristijan Jakic, and Ellyes Shkiri remain in the recovery room.
