Here is a correct score prediction for Bayer Leverkusen trip to Eintracht Frankfurt, with Victor Boniface and Nathan Tella central to the narrative.
Boniface, seeking to maintain his impressive record against Frankfurt, has the chance to score in his third consecutive appearance against them. Tella, meanwhile, is battling to regain full fitness after a recent injury setback, aiming to continue his consistent run in the Leverkusen lineup.
Frankfurt’s strong home form, marked by only one defeat this season, will be tested by Leverkusen's exceptional away record. Xabi Alonso’s side arrives with momentum, having recently extended their unbeaten away streak to 28 games. The home team's consistent scoring record at Deutsche Bank Park sets the stage for a potentially high-scoring affair.
Correct score prediction: Eintracht Frankfurt vs Bayer Leverkusen
This prediction leans towards a narrow Leverkusen victory, reflecting their superior away form and overall consistency this season. However, Frankfurt's strong home record and ability to score in every home game suggest they won't go down without a fight.
Expect a tightly contested match, with Leverkusen's attacking prowess proving slightly more decisive. Boniface's potential to continue his scoring streak against Frankfurt, coupled with Leverkusen's solid midfield, should create enough opportunities to secure the win. Frankfurt's resilience, though, will likely result in them finding the net, making it a closely fought 2-1 outcome. The game will be very open, and both teams will attack. Leverkusen's current form, and their drive to stay ahead of Bayern Munich in the table, should give them the edge.
Correct score prediction: Eintracht Frankfurt 1-2 Bayer Leverkusen
Boniface's Frankfurt affinity
Victor Boniface is eager to re-establish himself as a key figure in Leverkusen’s attack after returning from injury. Despite limited starts since his comeback, he has already notched two goals, bringing his season tally to 10. His physical presence and clinical finishing will be vital as Leverkusen aims to maintain pressure on Bayern Munich.
In his 4 post injury games he has played 175 minutes, averaging 43.75 minutes per game. He has scored in his last two games against Eintracht Frankfurt, and will be looking to make it 3 in a row.
Tella's fitness race
Nathan Tella is working diligently to recover from a hip injury that forced him to miss Leverkusen’s DFB-Pokal victory. Having played 14 consecutive Bundesliga games, he is keen to extend his run.
His return would be a significant boost for Leverkusen, as he has been a consistent player throughout the season, contributing three goals and three assists in 30 appearances.
Collins, the German-Nigerian rising star
Nnamdi Collins, Eintracht Frankfurt’s emerging defensive talent, has made a notable impact this season. The 20-year-old has established himself as a versatile and reliable defender, making 14 Bundesliga appearances.
His impressive speed and physicality have made him a valuable asset to the team. Collins' progression through Germany’s youth ranks underscores his potential, and his presence on the field adds another layer of intrigue to this clash. He has a top speed of 22.22 mp/h, and is one of Frankfurt's fastest players.
