Preview: Eintracht Frankfurt vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction, lineups, betting tips and odds | Bundesliga 2025-26

The Werkself have already defeated the Eagles once this season.

Eintracht Frankfurt are now going to host Bayer Leverkusen for their matchweek 20 fixture of the 2025-26 Bundesliga. Deutsche Bank Park will witness this entertaining game.

The Eagles will be at home but will be under pressure due to their poor run of form. They have faced back-to-back defeats in their last three matches and are likely to struggle in their next one. Eintracht Frankfurt have won seven of their 19 matches, remaining in eighth place in the league table.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen have performed well in their last two matches and will now be looking to extend their winning run. After securing a win against Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga, they secured a dominating victory against Villarreal in their UEFA Champions League contest. Despite being away from home, the Werkself will be confident.

Kick-off:

• Location: Frankfurt, Germany
• Stadium: Deutsche Bank Park
• Date: Saturday, January 31
• Kick-off Time: 08:00 p.m. IST/ 02:30 p.m. GMT/ 09:30 a.m. ET/ 06:30 a.m. PT

Players to Watch

Ritsu Doan (Eintracht Frankfurt)

The 27-year-old will have a crucial role to play for Eintracht Frankfurt. He can regulate the ball well in the midfield and is also capable of scoring goals. In 19 Bundesliga appearances this season, he has scored four goals and has five assists to his name.

Ritsu Doan will be looking to step up his game and come up with a top performance.

Malik Tillman (Bayer Leverkusen)

Malik Tillman is coming in after scoring a sensational brace for Bayer Leverkusen in their UCL outing. It was a top performance by him, and he will be looking to put in top efforts yet again. He can control the midfield well and is surely capable of scoring goals.

With the ball at his feet, Tillman is going to cause continuous problems for the hosts.
