Our prediction for this DFB Pokal match:
A place in the DFB Pokal last 16 will be at stake when Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt face each other at BayArena on Tuesday evening. Bayer Leverkusen head into the match following a Bundesliga draw with Werder Bremen, and they are eager to put an end to their three-match winless run in all competitions. Given the number of absentees in the home team, including Arias, Bellarabi, Bender, Paulinho, and Aranguiz, we are not tempted to put our money on the hosts this time out.
Die Adler, on the other hand, look unstoppable at the moment, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive win. Eintracht Frankfurt did well to beat 1860 Munchen on the road in their German Cup opener, and given Bayer Leverkusen’s form in 2021, we believe that the visitors are going to claim a major scalp in the last 32.
