Bayer Leverkusen remain third in the Bundesliga table with 55 points from 31 games. They will be looking to pick up back-to-back wins on Monday as they target a spot among Europe's finest next season.
Eintracht Frankfurt's domestic struggles continued last weekend as they played out a 2-2 draw against Europe-chasing Hoffenheim. However, they returned to winning ways in midweek, beating West Ham 2-1 in the first leg of the semifinals of the UEFA Europa League.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction
Bayer Leverkusen ended a run of back-to-back winless outings with a comfortable win last time out. However, they have lost three of their last four home games across all competitions and will be looking to improve their home form starting on Monday.
Eintracht Frankfurt are winless in their last five league games, drawing three times and losing the other two. The hosts should therefore have enough to win this one.
