Correct score prediction: Leverkusen 2-1 Frankfurt
The Factory XI will be looking to continue their unbeaten run against the Eagles and we are predicting a 2-1 victory for Leverkusen. The home side have an excellent record against Frankfurt, especially on their own ground. On the other hand, Frankfurt have shown good form in recent weeks, and will make it difficult for Leverkusen to run them over as they have always done in previous meetings.
The history between these two clubs also suggests an open game, with plenty of scoring chances on both ends. While Frankfurt are capable of finding the net, Leverkusen’s firepower and home advantage should prove decisive.

Player to watch: Patrik Schick
Every big game has players who can make the difference and for Leverkusen, the one to watch is their star striker, Patrik Schick. He has started the season strongly, scoring two goals in his previous Bundesliga game.
Schick’s strength lies in his excellent finishing and his instinct to be in the right place at the right time, making him a constant danger inside the penalty area. His form and confidence mean he could play a decisive role in this match and the Frankfurt defence will need to be at their best to keep him quiet.
