THE PREDICTION
There has never been a goalless draw between these two sides in their 70 previous Bundesliga meetings, and there is little chance of that statistic changing on Saturday. Eintracht Frankfurt, who finally ended a nine-match winless run with victory at Augsburg last time out, have failed to find the net on just one occasion so far this term - and that was away to Bayern Munich - while high-flying Bayer Leverkusen have scored two or more goals in 12 of their last 15 games in all competitions. Goals are therefore virtually guaranteed in this contest.
