INSIGHTS
Pre Match
1
Bayer 04 Leverkusen have beaten Eintracht Frankfurt more often at home than they have any other side in the Bundesliga (24 times), including each of the last nine meetings (31 goals scored, 4 conceded). A tenth straight win would equal their club record in the top flight (also against Hannover from 2008 to 2018 and since 1982 against Duisburg).
2
None of the previous 78 Bundesliga meetings between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt have ended goalless. No other match-up has ever been played as often without one goalless draw in Bundesliga history.
3
With 11 points from the first six matchdays, Bayer 04 Leverkusen have endured the worst start by a reigning Bundesliga champion in 12 years (Borussia Dortmund also had 11 points in 2012/13). Bayer 04 are winless in two league games (D2) – they never went three in a row without victory last season.
4
Bayer 04 Leverkusen have conceded 12 goals across the opening six matchdays – since 2000, the only other reigning champion to let in as many goals was VfL Wolfsburg in 2009/10 (also 12). Eight goals conceded in their first three home games has equalled the negative record for a reigning champion (set by 1. FC Köln in 1964/65 and FC Bayern in 2008/09).
5
Eintracht Frankfurt have picked up 13 points from their first six Bundesliga games of the season, their best tally in 12 years (16 points in 2012/13). The Eagles have won back-to-back away games, but most recently managed three straight away victories in May/June 2020 (3 under Adi Hütter).
