Fixture Analysis

It is a Bundesliga clash, Regular Season - 32 as Bayer Leverkusen welcome Eintracht Frankfurt to BayArena. Kick-off is set for Monday 2 May 2022 at 19:30 UTC.

Recent Form

Across all Bundesliga games this season, Bayer Leverkusen have gone 5W 2D 3L from 10 outings — a 1.70 PPG return. Last five: W W D L W. Offensively they are averaging 1.80 goals per game, with 1.00 conceded. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation.

At home at BayArena, Bayer Leverkusen have gone 6W 2D 2L this season (10 games, 2.00 PPG). They are averaging 2.60 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.

Looking at all fixtures this season, Eintracht Frankfurt stand at 2W 3D 5L from 10 Bundesliga matches — 0.90 PPG. Last five: D D L L D. Their scoring rate of 0.90 per game is modest, conceding 1.20 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation.

When travelling in Bundesliga this season, Eintracht Frankfurt have posted 5W 2D 3L from 10 away outings — 1.70 PPG. Away from home they average 1.70 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context. Their away PPG of 1.70 exceeds their overall 0.90 — they actually perform better on the road than their aggregate form implies.

On current form, Bayer Leverkusen have the edge — a 0.80 PPG advantage (1.70 vs 0.90) represents a meaningful gap. That momentum makes them the form-based pick, though if the outright price looks short, Draw No Bet is worth comparing.

The BTTS market is worth targeting here. Bayer Leverkusen register both teams scoring in 60% of relevant matches, Eintracht Frankfurt in 60% (using home/away splits) — both sides above the 60% threshold gives BTTS Yes firm statistical grounding.

Head to Head

There is little to separate the sides historically. From 1 previous meetings, Bayer Leverkusen have won 0, Eintracht Frankfurt 1, with 0 draws — a balanced ledger that offers no obvious directional steer on its own.

Goals have been a feature of this fixture. The last 1 meetings have averaged 7.0 per game — a rate that gives the Over 2.5 market a solid historical foundation. The most recent clash, on 12 Dec 2021, ended 2–5 with Eintracht Frankfurt winning.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 7.0 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.

In-Play Data

Bayer Leverkusen trading profile (65 games, 32 at home): they score before half-time in 75% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 71% of the time; they lead at the break 48% of the time; BTTS occurs in 69% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 69% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 40%.

Eintracht Frankfurt trading profile (65 games, 32 at away): they score before half-time in 78% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 82% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 71% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 72% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 37%.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Bayer Leverkusen 63% and Eintracht Frankfurt 74% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Bayer Leverkusen 62% | Eintracht Frankfurt 55%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Bayer Leverkusen 1.74 xG and Eintracht Frankfurt 1.30 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Bayer Leverkusen attack 1.167 / defence 0.952 | Eintracht Frankfurt attack 0.980 / defence 0.913. League average goals — home 1.634 / away 1.393. Data: 65 Bayer Leverkusen games / 65 Eintracht Frankfurt games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Bayer Leverkusen 46% | Draw 27% | Eintracht Frankfurt 27%. Fair-value odds: Bayer Leverkusen 2.17 | Draw 3.70 | Eintracht Frankfurt 3.70. Bayer Leverkusen hold a narrow Poisson edge at 46% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS probability 62% | Total xG 3.04. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.04 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 62% reflects that both xG figures (1.74 / 1.30) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Bayer Leverkusen at 46% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 27% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Bayer Leverkusen offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

Poisson projects 3.04 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 59% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 3.4 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 62%. Form rates corroborate: Bayer Leverkusen 60% | Eintracht Frankfurt 60% BTTS from recent games.
