Bundesliga 24th matchday, Saturday, 01/03/2025 at 6:30 pm
How good is Eintracht this season? This is the question we address in my Frankfurt Leverkusen betting tip. On the one hand, SGE is the first pursuer of the two top teams Bayern and Bayer.
In addition, the Hessians are clearly on course for the Champions League in the Bundesliga. But last matchday, the men of coach Dino Toppmöller not only conceded the highest competitive defeat under the current coach with the 0-4 at Bayern, but also a lesson.
The chance for redemption comes on Saturday evening in the top game of matchday 24: third-placed Frankfurt host second-placed Leverkusen at home in the Deutsche Bank Park.
In keeping with this explosive game, NEO.bet is giving the Leverkusen win rate wings and offering you a 500% odds boost when you register as a new customer with this bookmaker. The welcome bonus is on top of that.
The Hessians are already eight points behind the factory in the table. A defeat could be a preliminary decision in the fight for the vice-championship.
The reigning champions, on the other hand, are back in double form and want to keep the pressure on Munich despite being eight points behind with a win against the eagles.
I feel the same way as the bookies. I see the guests ahead in my Frankfurt Leverkusen prediction and so I play the bet “double chance X2 & both teams score” at Interwetten with odds of 1.95.
The betting providers’ prediction?
As already mentioned, both clubs are neighbors in the BL table with an eight-point gap. In addition, the home field advantage actually speaks for the hosts in the Frankfurt Leverkusen prediction.
However, this is not reflected at all in the Frankfurt vs Leverkusen odds. Instead, the bookies, who also offer sports betting with PayPal, are sending the guests into the race as clear favorites.
For an away win, there is a maximum rate of 1.77. However, if you decide to open a betting account at NEO.bet, you will receive a 500% odds boost that will catapult the Leverkusen odds into the double digits. This boost is subject to certain conditions, as you can see in the following graphic.
AI prediction Frankfurt vs Leverkusen: That’s what ChatGPT predicts.
ChatGPT also takes a look at the top game of the 24th matchday for us. At a low risk, the AI suggests the Frankfurt Leverkusen tip “Both teams score”.
This tip also makes perfect sense. In four of the last five duels between the two teams, there were no clean sheets. Moreover, Eintracht have not kept a clean sheet against Werkself in eleven games.
For the higher-risk tip, ChatGPT recommends the “Over 3.5 goals” bet. And indeed, we have to expect a lot of goals in the duel between SGE and B04.
In the last 15 meetings between Frankfurt and Leverkusen, a total of 75 goals were scored (5 goals per game). In addition, both teams scored a combined 100 goals in this Bundesliga season.
If you also bet on this Frankfurt Leverkusen prediction, you can get odds of 2.70 at Betano. It’s best to redeem the current Betano promotional code beforehand.
And the high-risk tip is certainly not too daring either. Because for the bet “Win Bayer & Over 3.5 goals” you get odds of 3.85 at Tipwin.
Analysis: Frankfurt vs Leverkusen
Frankfurt is just one point behind the club record with 42 points from 23 games this season. In addition, last weekend’s eighth Bundesliga game in 2025 saw the first defeat (4W, 3D).
Nevertheless, the 4-0 defeat at Bayern was not a result that allowed the team to simply get back to business as usual. SGE was alarmingly weak and dispirited in Munich.
Coach Dino Toppmöller had certainly sent the youngest Eintracht starting lineup onto the pitch since matchday 34 of the 1985/86 season. However, the Hessians had to learn the hard way.
The men in the eagle’s colours were like a rabbit caught in the headlights of a car and rarely got behind the visitors’ defence. In addition, their naive approach play played right into Bayern’s pressing hands.
The offense also faltered badly. Hugo Ekitiké has actually scored 17 goals and provided seven assists in 33 appearances across all competitions. However, the attacker looked lethargic and listless against the record champions.
And new signing Elye Wahi has also not yet been able to show why he cost 20 million euros to sign. Eintracht are now seeking redemption in front of their own fans.
In this Bundesliga season, Frankfurt have only lost one of their 11 home games (seven wins, three draws). Only three teams have collected more home points.
SGE is in second place in terms of expected goals (44.5). Only two teams have allowed more shots than the Hessians. On Saturday, the injured Matanovic and Tuta, who is suspended for yellow, will be absent.
Odds analysis
Want more Frankfurt Leverkusen tips? No problem! No team has scored more goals in the first half of a Bundesliga game this season than Leverkusen.
Bayer has scored 32 goals (out of 51, 63%). You can find odds of 3.10 for the “More 1st Half Goals” bet at Betway. And where goals are scored, goal scorers are needed.
In the last nine Bundesliga games, Patrik Schick has scored ten goals. Only Harry Kane (21) is better than the Bayer Leverkusen attacker (15) in the Bundesliga scoring charts.
If he scores another goal at the weekend, Bet365 offers odds of 2.87.
Frankfurt vs Leverkusen: Can the Werkself shorten the gap to Bayern?
Leverkusen is currently already eight points behind Bayern. With 50 points after 23 games, Bayer is playing its second-best Bundesliga season. In addition, coach Xabi Alonso has set a new historical record.
After all, the B04 coach is unbeaten in 28 Bundesliga away games in a row after the 2-0 win in Kiel last weekend. The only defeat since the start of the previous season was a 3-2 home loss to RB Leipzig on matchday 2 of the 2024/25 season.
Since then, the champions have been able to boast a streak of 21 Bundesliga games without defeat (13W, 8D). Against the Störche, the coach once again masterfully adjusted his tactics.
Due to the poor pitch conditions and Kiel’s strengths, Leverkusen did not play through the center as usual, but instead pushed the ball behind the opposing defense to avoid losing possession and counterattacking.
The Werkself feels right at home on Saturday nights
Even advanced Amine Adli became a match winner after more than three months out with an injury and, on his return to the starting lineup, increased the champions’ even greater personnel range.
Bayer has the second-best offense (51 goals) and the second-best defense (27) in the Bundesliga. In terms of xG, Leverkusen is ranked third (44) and in terms of xGA, second (23.5).
Only Bayern (135) have allowed fewer shots than B04 (224). On Saturday at 6:30 p.m., the Werkself is also strong. At this kick-off time, there was only one defeat in eleven games under Xabi Alonso (5W, 5D).
In Frankfurt, the guests will have to do without Belocian, Hincapie and Terrier. In particular, the loss of Hincapie in defense is likely to hurt in the Frankfurt Leverkusen forecast.
This pairing has been played 81 times in German football. The Werkself has 40 wins to 28 defeats (13U) in the direct comparison.
In Frankfurt, it looks a little different: here, the hosts have celebrated 22 successes in 40 duels, with 14 defeats (4U). In our Frankfurt Leverkusen prediction, we are looking at the most recent results in particular.
Leverkusen have won all of their last four Bundesliga games against Eintracht. On matchday 7 of the current season, B04 won 2-1 at home.
In 79 Bundesliga clashes between the two clubs, there has never been a 0-0 draw. Nor have points been shared in the last 20 meetings in the German top flight.
My Frankfurt Leverkusen tip:
Frankfurt have had a great season overall and can hope for the top flight. But against Bayern last weekend, the Hessians were shown their limits.
They are also not likely to win against the next top team. This has primarily to do with the great form and quality of Leverkusen. The men of coach Xabi Alonso are hard to beat.
We are backing our tip on the guests with the “double chance”. On the one hand, the Hessians want to show a reaction to the defeat in Munich.
In addition, the home team has emerged victorious in 14 of the last 15 meetings between the two. My Frankfurt Leverkusen prediction is thus: Double chance X2 & Both teams to score!
