Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen enters this fixture under new management after parting ways with Erik ten Hag, who was dismissed after just two Bundesliga games in charge!
Bayer Leverkusen lost to TSG Hoffenheim 1-2 and drew 3-3 against Werder Bremen, their worst Bundesliga start in eight years.
The club has undergone significant changes, including the departure of key players like Florian Wirtz and captain Granit Xhaka, and the arrival of as many as 16 new signings this summer.
Now Bayer Leverkusen starts a new adventure under the guidance of the new Danish coach, Kasper Hjulmand, who will seek to stabilize the team as soon as possible.
Historically, Bayer Leverkusen has had the upper hand in this matchup, winning five of the last six Bundesliga encounters against Eintracht Frankfurt. They should be motivated enough for a better play now, but we will see if the International break worked well for them.
Eintracht Frankfurt
Eintracht Frankfurt has started the season impressively, securing victories in their first two Bundesliga matches. After nailing Werder Bremen 4-1, they achieved another high 1-3 win away at TSG Hoffenheim.
They already have three players with two goals each after two rounds, including their latest signing, Japanese striker Ritsu Doan, who impressed in both wins.
Eintracht Frankfurt's recent performances suggest they can challenge the top sides if they maintain discipline and capitalize on their attacking chances. Their ability to exploit spaces and transition quickly will be crucial against a Bayer Leverkusen side looking to find its rhythm.
The Betting Verdict
Amazingly, Bayer Leverkusen is on a run of 11 straight home wins against Eintracht Frankfurt across all competitions.
Eintracht Frankfurt is no doubt the better side this season, but I believe that Bayer Leverkusen will start well under their new coach. The team atmosphere is now better, players are again motivated after the International break, so we should expect a better display from them.
However, I am still not too convinced to back Bayer Leverkusen right away, although the odds on their win are good.
Instead, I would back the goals here, so both teams to score is a bet that should land, perhaps even before half-time.
