Bayer Leverkusen vs Eintracht Frankfurt Predictions

Will Leverkusen’s Reset Under Hjulmand Survive a Frankfurt Storm?

• Fragile champions: Leverkusen are winless in five Bundesliga matches and look a shadow of the side that stormed the league last season.
• Ruthless travellers: Frankfurt have won their last three away games in all competitions, scoring a total of eleven goals in that run.
• Hot start: Toppmöller’s side have already notched twelve goals this season, showing no signs of slowing down despite losing key strikers.

Best Bet for Bayer Leverkusen vs Eintracht Frankfurt

Chaos is already the word of the season at Bayer Leverkusen. Two Bundesliga matches in, Erik ten Hag has been shown the door, and a squad stripped of its core now finds itself staring down a confident Eintracht Frankfurt side. The BayArena faithful will pack in on Friday night more out of anxious curiosity than optimism, wondering if new boss Kasper Hjulmand can stop the rot before it becomes a full-blown crisis.

Frankfurt, in contrast, look like a club at peace with their philosophy. They sell, they rebuild, and somehow they just keep rolling. Omar Marmoush is gone, Hugo Ekitike has gone too, but the new crop already look sharp, and Dino Toppmöller’s side have swept aside early challenges with ruthless efficiency. Three wins from three across all competitions, twelve goals scored, and barely a bead of sweat dropped. If you compare that to Leverkusen’s patchy start, the gulf in mood between the two camps is hard to miss.

For Leverkusen, the task is huge. Key figures like Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Granit Xhaka are no longer there to call on, and Jeanuel Belocian, Jonas Hofmann and Martin Terrier are stuck on the treatment table. It leaves Hjulmand with a squad not only weakened but still searching for a new identity. The BayArena might be ready for a big occasion, but you sense the mood could turn sour very quickly if Frankfurt stamp their authority early.

Best Bet for Bayer Leverkusen vs Eintracht Frankfurt

At BettingTips4You, we stand firm on our philosophy: one game, one tip, one clear verdict. No confusion, no scattergun approach. We believe in quality over quantity, making it easier for you to follow and for us to be held accountable. For this match, the Best Bet is Eintracht Frankfurt Draw No Bet.

The reasoning is simple but compelling. Frankfurt have started this campaign in a way that screams cohesion. Even after selling off yet more of their attacking talents, they’ve managed to remain clinical, with 12 goals in their opening matches. Their frontline looks balanced, and their midfield offers enough bite to control games. In contrast, Leverkusen look like a team still reeling from shock. Losing so many starters from last season’s double-winning side has left gaping holes, and the failed experiment with Ten Hag has only deepened the sense of drift.

Kasper Hjulmand might prove a steadying hand in time, but asking him to solve structural issues against a Frankfurt side firing on all cylinders feels far too big an ask just days into his tenure. Even the predicted line-ups highlight the contrast: Leverkusen are juggling options, while Frankfurt are already running like a well-drilled unit. Add in injuries to Hofmann and Terrier, and you have a squad both lighter in quality and uncertain in rhythm.

Frankfurt’s away form makes this even more persuasive. They’ve been scoring for fun on the road, with three straight away wins in which they netted eleven times. Leverkusen, meanwhile, haven’t managed a win in their last five Bundesliga matches, and confidence levels are fragile.

As BettingTips4You.com expert Wolfgang Shotten puts it:

“Frankfurt are in full stride while Leverkusen are still learning how to walk again. Draw No Bet on Frankfurt feels like the safest way to side with the form team without risking the upset factor.

The correct score that makes sense here is 2-1 in favour of Frankfurt. Leverkusen might still muster a goal at home, but Frankfurt’s sharpness and organisation should carry them through.
