The Werkself rounded off a very impressive week on Saturday afternoon: Bayer 04 repeated Mondays victory at Leipzig with another 4-1 win at home to Eintracht Frankfurt to take another three points offered direct rival for a Champions League finish. Heiko Herrlich's team produced an excellent performance, particularly in the second half. Kevin Volland was man of the match with a hat-trick. Julian Brandt open the scoring for the Werkself. Marco Fabian scored a consolation goal for Eintracht.
Show moreThe Werkself are entering possibly the most crucial phase of the season: Within seven days there are two Bundesliga fixtures against clubs in the race for a Champions League finish with the DFB Cup semi-final against Bayern Munich in between the two matches. First things first: Saturday afternoon (14 April, 15.30 CET) sees the Werkself take on fifth-placed Eintracht Frankfurt at the BayArena.
Show moreThe race for a European place continues unabated for the Werkself. After Monday night's important away win at Leipzig, Bayer 04 face another direct rival in Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday (14 April, 1530 CET). The team from Hessen are seen as outsiders amongst the established clubs in the top third of the table – but they are where they deserve to be as our lowdown on our next opponents shows.
Show moreThe sky over Leverkusen was full of thick clouds and rain on Wednesday. From a Werkself perspective, it is feasible the miserable weather could be seen as the fallout from the gloomy news on the personnel front from yesterday: Medical examinations revealed left back Wendell had suffered a torn ligament in his left ankle in the 4-1 win away to RB Leipzig on Monday night and it is likely he will be sidelined for the next four weeks.
