Bayer Leverkusen vs Frankfurt Preview and Prediction: A Nightmare from a Former Player

Latest information on the Bayer Leverkusen vs Frankfurt team news.

New coach Hjulmand has only had two training sessions with his players, so it's likely the lineup won't change much from the draw against Bremen, where they squandered a 3-1 lead.

Jeanuel Belocian could return from a long-term knee injury, while Jonas Hofmann is almost certain to miss out as he is still recovering from a hamstring injury. The 33-year-old midfielder hasn't played an official match since the end of last season.

On the Eintracht Frankfurt side, goalkeeper Kaua Santos remains absent, so Michael Zetterer continues to be the starting goalkeeper after being trusted in every match since the beginning of the season.

World Cup champion Mario Gotze's participation is uncertain due to a muscle injury, while Jessic Ngankam's availability is also doubtful due to a leg problem.

Latest predicted lineups for Bayer Leverkusen vs Frankfurt

Bayer Leverkusen:Flekken; Bade, Tapsoba, Quansah; Grimaldo, Garcia, Andrich, Tella; Tillman, Ben Seghir; Schick

Eintracht Frankfurt:Zetterer; Theate, Collins, Koch, Kristensen; Larsson, Chaibi; Bahoya, Uzun, Doan; Burkardt

Latest football match prediction: Bayer Leverkusen vs Frankfurt

Bayer Leverkusen shocked the football world in early September when they decided to sack coach Erik ten Hag, just two months after his appointment.

The Dutch manager has only led the team in three official matches – including a 4-0 victory against a fourth-tier team in the German Cup and a 3-3 draw with Werder Bremen just before the international break.

Ten Hag's early dismissal set a record in the Bundesliga, as the former Manchester United manager became the first to lose his job after only two rounds of the league.

German media have revealed a series of internal problems at Leverkusen, ranging from a loss of confidence to unbelievable reasons such as players expressing dissatisfaction with having to do push-ups.

The chosen replacement is Hjulmand, the former Denmark national team coach, who left his position over a year ago. He recently signed a two-year contract with the goal of revitalizing the atmosphere at the club.

The challenge is not easy for Hjulmand, as Leverkusen faces a series of difficult matches between now and the next international break.

Friday's match is seen as one of those major challenges, as their opponent, Eintracht Frankfurt, is becoming increasingly strong and particularly impressive this season.

Dino Toppmoller's team started the campaign with a 5-0 victory over Engers in the German Cup. In the Bundesliga, they went on to beat Werder Bremen 4-1 and Hoffenheim 3-1.

Frankfurt showed that scoring goals is not a problem, as last season they were only behind three teams in terms of goals scored: Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Leverkusen themselves.

The Eagles are looking forward to their Champions League opening match against Galatasaray, but they still want to maintain their momentum when they face a struggling Leverkusen.

The Frankfurt team is also determined to end their streak of 11 consecutive defeats against Leverkusen in official competitions.
