In attack, Eintracht Frankfurt is having a great season as they scored in 21 consecutive matches, the longest streak for this season before they were taken down 4-0 by Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena in their last match.
Omar Marmoush is the leading goal scorer for the club in the ongoing league season but the Egyptian forward has now moved to Manchester City leaving the goalscoring burden largely to Hugo Ekitike who has scored 12 goals and contributed 3 assists in 22 league fixtures.
Unlike Frankfurt, Bayer Leverkusen haven’t lost a league match in a while, in fact, their last league defeat was back in August when a Luis Openda brace in the second half sinked Leverkusen’s ship as RB Leiipzig launched a 3-2 comeback win out of nowhere.
After winning the domestic double last season, Leverkusen knocked Bayern Munich out of the DFB Pokal this season and while two consecutive Bundesliga titles might seem far-fetched, Xabi Alonso would want to prove that they are the best of the rest in the Bundesliga by finishing second.
The Playoffs aim to facilitate the safest bets for the game. Have a look at the predictions for the game below.
Total goals Under 2.5 @ +130 (MGM Bet): While both sides have good attackers within their ranks, their defensive records leave the fans wanting for more as relegation-fighting St. Pauli has conceded as many goals as Bayer Leverkusen and six goals lesser than Eintracht Frankfurt.
Bayer Leverkusen goals Over 2.5 @ +190 (MGM Bet): Unlike Frankfurt, Bayer Leverkusen has multiple goal outlets as Patrick Schick has 15 goals in less than 950 minutes of game time in the ongoing league season. Apart from Schick, Boniface has 7 goals in less than 800 minutes of game time and Florian Wirtz has 9 goals and 11 assists in 23 league appearances.
Mario Gotze (To Score Goal @ +575 as per MGM Bet): Mario Gotze was once the household name in German football but the magician has fallen off the heights and has 2 goals and 2 assists in the ongoing league season. Both of Gotze’s goals this season came in the last calendar year and as we move into the third month of 2025, the 32-year old would love to score his third goal of the ongoing campaign.
Bayer Leverkusen is hungry for more success and the Alonso-powered juggernaut doesn’t seem to stop anywhere in the near future and Eintracht Frankfurt should be a challenge they can conquer, ableit away from home.
