Bayer Leverkusen take on the visitors Eintracht Frankfurt in the round 27 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, April 8th at BayArena (Leverkusen).
In the previous round, the "Pharmacists" ended Schalke's unbeaten streak of eight matches, defeating them 3-0 on their own field. This victory was already the fourth in a row for Bayer in the championship. Earlier, Leverkusen had prevailed over Hertha (4-1), Werder (3-2), and Bayern Munich (2-1). I think that under the guidance of Javier Alonso, his team is capable of extending their successful streak on their home field. We all remember how Bayer struggled at the beginning of the season, but now they are only one point behind Eintracht, who are in the Conference League zone.

Eintracht are doing well in the German Cup, but their performance in the championship has not been good lately. The "eagles" have not won for five consecutive rounds - draws with Wolfsburg (2-2), Bochum (1-1), and Stuttgart (1-1), as well as defeats to Union Berlin (0-2) and Leipzig (1-2). Both losses happened in away matches. I highly doubt that Oliver Glasner's team will even be able to get a point in Leverkusen. Winning against an opponent who has gained momentum is even more unlikely.
In this match, I consider Bayer to be the favorite. The "Pharmacists" are on a roll, and in case of a victory, they will overtake Eintracht in the table. Lately, Leverkusen has not been losing points in the championship. On the other hand, the "eagles" have stopped winning in the Bundesliga, alternating draws and losses. And away matches are the weak point of Frankfurt. In their last five away games, they have only gained two points. Moreover, the guests will approach this match tired, as they played in the country's cup a few days before, while Bayer had a week of rest. In recent years, a tendency has emerged in the head-to-head matches - the team playing at home wins. In the last three face-to-face meetings in Leverkusen, the hosts were stronger: 2-0, 3-1, and 4-1. I think that Bayer will come out on top again. But just in case, I will hedge my bet with a handicap of zero for the hosts.
Prediction for the match: Bayer Leverkusen to win.
