VS
Bayer Leverkusen vs Eintracht Frankfurt usually gives Leverkusen the stronger historical footing, but Frankfurt have supplied memorable reversals that keep the fixture meaningful. Leverkusen won 3–1 at home on 12 September 2025 after 4–1 away and 5–1 away victories in 2025 and 2024; Frankfurt had won 5–1 in October 2022. Future meetings will test whether Leverkusen can maintain control against that disruptive threat.

Stats for this game
Matchup Bayer Leverkusen VS Eintracht Frankfurt
Leverkusen set the reference point
The results show a clear Leverkusen edge. Their 3–1 home win on 12 September 2025 followed victories of 4–1 in Frankfurt on 1 March and 5–1 there on 5 May 2024. Leverkusen also won 3–0 at home in December 2023 and 3–1 on 8 April 2023. The run of convincing scorelines explains why they enter this matchup as the established reference.
Frankfurt can still turn the picture
Frankfurt’s 5–1 home win on 15 October 2022 and 5–2 on 12 December 2021 are substantial counterexamples, not minor footnotes. Their 3–0 home success in October 2019 shows that the away setting can expose a different version of the contest. Leverkusen’s 6–1 win in May 2019 demonstrates the other extreme, with the fixture capable of opening into a decisive result either way. A future meeting should remain interesting because Frankfurt can challenge the hierarchy through a forceful home performance, while Leverkusen will seek to make their broader control visible in both venues.
