Leverkusen may have already won the Bundesliga, but they have been striving to maintain their unbeaten record in recent weeks.
There’s also the small matter of the Europa League for Xabi Alonso’s men, so plenty of work still to do between now and the end of the campaign.
The Champions League is out of reach for Eintracht Frankfurt, but they have just about claimed their place in the Europa League for next season.
Current Form
Frankfurt’s current form
Frankfurt’s recent form has ultimately seen them drop out of the race for Champions League qualification as they have recorded just one win out of their last six Bundesliga games, which came against Augsburg two weeks ago.
Last time out, they lost 2-1 away at Bayern Munich.
Leverkusen’s current form
On Thursday, the Bundesliga champions took a big step towards the Europa League final as they won the semi-final first leg 2-0 away at Roma.
Domestically, they have drawn two games in a row versus Dortmund and Stuttgart.
In both of those matches, it looked certain Leverkusen’s unbeaten season would end, but a 97th minute equaliser against Dortmund and a 96th minute equaliser against Stuttgart kept the run intact.
Sasa Kalajdzic, Mehdi Loune, Nacho Ferri and Sebastian Rode are all definitely out for Frankfurt, while Fares Chaibi is a doubt due to illness.
Alonso has a fully fit squad for the away trip, but it is likely he will rest some players ahead of the return leg against Roma this week.
Scoreline Prediction
Leverkusen have been fortunate to keep the unbeaten run alive, but they should keep it going here, even if the game ends in another draw.
Frankfurt 1-1 Leverkusen
