Leverkusen, Germany – Bayer Leverkusen, the reigning German Double winners of 2024, will face Eintracht Frankfurt at the BayArena on Saturday, September 12th, 2025, at 8:30 p.m. in a highly anticipated Bundesliga contest. the match, broadcast live on Eintrachtfm and Sky Sport Bundesliga 1 HD, comes amidst critically important changes for both clubs following a dynamic summer transfer window.
Leverkusen underwent a substantial overhaul, bringing in 16 new players. The club also recently appointed a new manager, following in the footsteps of Xabi Alonso’s move to Real Madrid and the subsequent departure of Erik Ten Hag.Eintracht Frankfurt also welcomed a familiar face back to the Bundesliga, with Kasper Hjulmand returning to the league after a previous stint with 1.FSV Mainz 05.
Recent Form and Past trends
Historically, matches between these two sides have been anything but dull. Remarkably,in 80 previous encounters in Germany’s top flight,a 0-0 draw has never occured. This suggests fans can expect a goal-filled affair at the BayArena.
Key attacking threats will be under the spotlight. Patrik Schick has a strong record against Eintracht frankfurt, having scored five goals in past meetings. Ritsu Doan has also proven risky against Bayer 04, netting three goals. However, all eyes will be on Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Michael Zetterer, who has quickly established himself as a key player, conceding only two goals in his first two appearances.
Zetterer’s Early Impact
Zetterer is yet to record a clean sheet this season, but his performance in Werder Bremen’s 2-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen earlier this year – where he made four crucial saves – demonstrates his ability to frustrate opposing attacks.That match took place on March 8, 2025, and serves as a reminder of his capabilities.
While Eintracht Frankfurt celebrates its anniversary on September 12th, the focus will firmly be on securing a positive result on the pitch. The outcome of this match will undoubtedly set the tone for both clubs as they navigate the early stages of the 2025/26 Bundesliga season.
