Bayer Leverkusen suffered a blow in their quest for a top four finish when they lost 2-0 to Bayern Munich in their last game. Now they have the chance to keep the ambition alive, with a home game against another top four contender, Eintracht Frankfurt. Hosts Leverkusen are sixth in the standings with 47 points, nine below the Champions League place and with 12 points to play for, they’ll know just how crucial this game is. A loss here will mean Leverkusen can’t finish in the top four. In three of Leverkusen’s last five league matches, they’ve failed to score but three of the five have ended in over 2.5 goals. At home, they have two straight wins in the league, but these have come against the bottom two sides – Köln and Schalke. Those are their only wins in the last five home matches. Leverkusen have scored in each of their last six home league matches but kept just one clean sheet.

Frankfurt have 56 points and in fourth place. They bounced back from the shock loss to Borussia Monchengladbach by beating Augsburg 2-0 and will hope they can build on it here, to consolidate their top four chase. That loss was the only time in the last five league matches that Frankfurt failed to score in five league matches. They’ve scored two or more goals in four of their last five matches but conceded two or more in three of their last five too. Andre Silva has been an important player in Frankfurt’s push for Champions League football, with five goals in the last five league matches and four of the team’s last five league matches have realized over 2.5 goals. Away from home, Frankfurt have no clean sheet in the last seven league games. They have two losses in the last four away league games but won five of the last 10.
