Eintracht Frankfurt hosts Bayer Leverkusen in round 8 of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, October 18th at Commerzbank-Arena (Frankfurt)
Eintracht finished the last season in seventh place. It took the last ticket to the Europa League. The team successfully qualified and went to Group F. In the first round, it suffered a devastating defeat to Arsenal London (0:3). And in the second match, Eintracht managed to beat Guimaraes (1:0). In the offseason, the Eagles strengthened their quad with new players. They signed Dominik Kohr (Bayer), Dejan Joveljic (Crvena Zvezda), Sebastian Rode (Borussia Dortmund), Kevin Trapp (PSG), Bas Dost (Sporting). The club also took André Silva on loan from Milan. But not everything is so simple because Eintracht lost several key players, namely: Luca Jovic (Real Madrid) and Sebastien Haller (West Ham). The team has already played seven matches in the new season of the national championship. Now Eintracht stopped in the middle of the standings, in ninth place. So far, there were no strong clubs on the way of the Eagles, except for Borussia Dortmund. And they tied with it with a 2:2 score. The last match ended with the same result - Eintracht against Werder Bremen. Still, the club managed to suffer two losses to Leipzig (1:2) and Augsburg (1:2). It is difficult for the Germans to share their forces in the Bundesliga and European Cup matches.

Bayer took fourth place in the last season and got the last ticket to the Champions League. It got into a strong group D. So far, Bayer has not achieved any success in the European cup arena. The team has already held two meetings but has not earned a single point. First, it lost to Lokomotiv Moscow (1:2). And in the second round, the current champion of Italy defeated it the Company XI with a 0:3 score. Now it will be very difficult for Bayer to correct this situation to go even to the Europa League. After all, the third rival will be Spanish Atletico. The Germans are unlikely to succeed against the Spaniards. There are no perfect results in the championship of Germany either. After the seventh round, the club took seventh place in the standings. Bayer suffered only one defeat to Borussia Dortmund (0:4). Perhaps the cause of a bad game is the loss of some players. The club sold Bernd Leno (Arsenal) and Julian Brandt (Borussia Dortmund). Of course, the management signed several new players, but they have not lived up to fans’ hopes yet. Moussa Diaby (PSG), Daley Sinkgraven (Ajax), Lucas Hradecky (Eintracht) and Nadiem Amiri (Hoffenheim) are playing in Bayer now. The team has only four victories. All of them were gained over teams that either just came to the Bundesliga or regularly squirmed at the bottom of the standings.
The bookmakers believe that Bayer has more chances to win. Both teams cannot regain their shapes after the offseason. And perhaps the participation in European competitions prevents them from it. Nevertheless, Bayer has every chance of winning the upcoming match.
Prediction for the match: Bayer Leverkusen to win
