Game: LEVERKUSEN vs FRANKFURT
Type: BUNDESLIGA
Date: 21 March, 2009
PREVIEW
With a margin of 12pts from Hertha and 10 more matches to go, Leverkusen's hope of mounting a challenge to the Bundesliga title is fading fast. Before the winter break, Leverkusen were showing promising signs of a team that is capable of winning the title. However, all that has gone to tathers as a mixture of tough fixtures and injuries has seen them slipping down to their current 7th position. Nevertheless, they still remain a potent team at home, averaging 2.00 goals per match to date.
Visitors Frankfurt has had a roller-coaster ride as far as form is concerned. Currently lying on 12th position, they have been unable to consistently perform at the required level. With only 3pts separating them from the relegation zone, Frankfurt will be hard pressed to grapple as many points as possible to avoid the drop zone. Fortunately for them, head-to-head record favours Frankfurt as they have only lost once in 4 meetings with Leverkusen.
KWIK STATS
HOME > LEVERKUSEN

THE PICK
It has been four months since Leverkusen last won at home. With 10 games remaining, LEVERKUSEN knows that they have to win against mediocre teams like Frankfurt in order to maintain their slim hope of a top 4 finish. Go with the home team to get their much needed win.
