Never goalless
This fixture has never produced a 0-0 draw (on average 3.1 goals per game). No other fixture in history the Bundesliga has yet to end in a goalless draw.
The Werkself have secured nine wins in the last 11 Bundesliga games and have only lost twice in that run – they were both away games at Gladbach (2-1 defeats on matchday 33 in 2015/16 and on matchday one in 2016/17).
Eintracht strong at home
Eintracht have won their last three home games in the Bundesliga. The last time there were more home victories in Frankfurt was between April and September 2000 under Felix Magath (eight on the bounce).
The Werkself in good shape
The Werkself showed true grit last weekend when they secured a 3-1 win against Hamburg SV after being a goal down. Last season Bayer 04 collected 19 points coming from behind and that was the best in the Bundesliga last term.
Coaching duo with Bayer 04 past
Niko and Robert Kovac signed for the Werkself in the summer of 1996. Niko stayed to 1999 before joining HSV and Robert to 2001 before moving on to Bayer Munich. Niko made 77 Bundesliga appearances (eight goals) for the Werkself, Robert 127 (one goal).

In Germany, the temperatures are currently around zero, leaving even professional footballers freezing - but not the Bayer 04 Women. Roberto Pätzold's team have fled the cold to the south and are preparing for the second half of the season at a training camp in the Algarve, almost 2,000 kilometres away from home as the crow flies. The Leverkusen squad landed in Faro on Saturday morning and have already completed the first three training sessions over the weekend.

It was a disappointing Saturday night. The Werkself lost 4-1 to VfB Stuttgart to start the new year on Bundesliga matchday 16 in 2025/26, a result that left both players and fans disappointed. "We played without any passion," said Alejandro Grimaldo honestly afterwards. Teammate Jarell Quansah was even more self-critical, emphasising: "We were miles off it in the first half. You can't put in a performance like that, especially in front of our own fans and I can only apologise to them, to be honest." Read on for the reaction, facts and stats from the clash with VfB Stuttgart in the Werkself review.
