Leverkusen – Eintracht

The German champion will take on one of its rivals at home

The situation at the top of the Bundesliga standings now looks extremely intriguing. Most likely, leading Bayern have proved to be less formidable than it looked in the opening games of the season. Eintracht, who missed the fight for serious positions in the last championship, looks interesting. Leipzig are hatching plans to win their first ever league title, while Bayer are trying to return to their championship form of last season. The sixth place in the standings is now only three points away from the first, which promises a heated battle in the upcoming round of the German championship. Teams from this leading company will hold the central match of the game day, which will be held in Leverkusen. Bookmakers have identified the home team as the favourites for the upcoming meeting, offering odds of 1.40 on their victory. The beginning of the season Bayer spent far from ideal. The team time and again had to snatch victory in the final minutes, and in the meeting with Leipzig, held on the last day of summer, the "pharmacists" lost for the first time since the Bundesliga before last. In September, Bayer gained good momentum, but even here it was not without a misfire. Immediately after a draw with Bayern Munich and victory in the Champions League over Milan, the "pharmacists" could not cope with Holstein Kiel at home - 2:2. Once again, the loss of concentration was the cause of problems, as it was earlier in meetings with Leipzig, Wolfsburg and Borussia Gladbach. In all mentioned opponents Bayer won in the course of the meeting, but allowed them to compare the score and even take the lead. The coaching staff simply must work on this problem and not allow it in the upcoming meeting against a direct competitor in the fight for high positions. Eintracht in the last round proved their professional suitability. The team hosted Bayern, which was determined to beat the nearest pursuer and strengthen its status as a leader. However, the Frankfurt club showed a decent level and snatched a 3-3 draw with a goal on 90+4 minutes. However, it will be more difficult for Eintracht Leverkusen. Over the past year and a half, the Frankfurt team has played three times with Bayer and lost all matches with a bang: 1:3, 0:3, 1:5. The hosts will achieve a confident victory.
