Monday evening brings us further action from the German Bundesliga and features this upcoming clash between Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt at the BayArena with the hosts looking to build upon their recent mauling of Greuther Furth in their quest to nail down a top four finish and Champions League football for next season.
Bayer Leverkusen ran out easy 4-1 winners away from home at basement dwellers, Greuther Furth, and the hosts now hold home advantage for this upcoming encounter on Monday night.
Leverkusen will be keen to set the record straight following a couple of recent defeats on home soil.
Recent losses to Cologne and RB Leipzig have been either side of a 2-1 victory over Hertha Berlin but these losses haven’t made a serious effect upon Leverkusen’s ambitions of a top four finish.
Indeed, these two defeats have been Bayer Leverkusen’s only blots in their last 10 games at their Bay Arena while the hosts have also picked up six wins during this period as well, so they look set for further success here.
Eintracht Frankfurt sit mid-table in 9th place on the Bundesliga ladder but with just three league matches remaining.
The visitors are now unable to catch up to the top six pack and European contention as they trail 6th placed Union Berlin by a 10-point margin.
Recent results have been indifferent for Eintracht Frankfurt as the visitors have failed to win any of their last five games, which consist of three draws and two defeats.
Points picked up in draws with RB Leipzig, Greuther Furth and Hoffenheim have been overshadowed by losses against Freiburg and Union Berlin.
The bigger picture looks even gloomier as the visitors have managed to muster only two wins out of their last 10 games overall in the German top flight, making this upcoming trip to the BayArena against Bayer Leverkusen, another potentially difficult fixture for the away side.
Having also failed to score in three of their last four away games, Eintracht Frankfurt look to have their work cut out on Monday night.
Bayer Leverkusen have won the last seven meetings at home on the trot against Eintracht Frankfurt and the hosts look in good shape to extend this record on Monday night.
