Bayer Leverkusen vs. Eintracht Frankfurt picks and predictions
Prediction
Bayer Leverkusen 2, Eintracht Frankfurt 2
Moneyline (ML)
SPRINKLE DRAW (+400).
Bayer hasn’t necessarily dominated opponents at home, so while it is a long shot, it is a worthy play to take a draw. Bayer sits 5th in the league, while Eintracht sits 3rd, and Leverkusen drew its last home game and has drawn its last 2.
Eintracht has one of the most dynamic offenses in the league and has scored at least 3 goals in its last 4 games throughout all competitions, having drawn 2 of those. Considering the recent draws for both sides, expect a close match.
For a small unit, take DRAW (+400).
Over/Under (O/U)
BET OVER 3.5 (-115).
Since Sept. 26, Eintracht has played in 4 games, 2 of which were Europa League competitions. In all of those games, it has gone north of 3.5 goals, and it has gone north of 5.5 in 3 of them. Eintracht has had over 2.0 expected goals in 5 of its 8 games throughout all competitions.
Bayer has gone north of this total in 3 of its last 4 league games, having tallied 4 goals in 2 of those battles. Leverkusen has not defended well, either, having given up 2.0 goals per game through 6 league matches.
Considering those trends for both sides, back OVER 3.5 (-115).
