Bayer Leverkusen will be at its creative best when an Eintracht Frankfurt side spearheaded by Andre Silva visits the BayArena in the DFB Cup second round on Tuesday.
Leverkusen needs some spark after a streak without victory. Leon Bailey's autumn-winter burst in front of goal had Leverkusen sitting pretty at the top of the Bundesliga shortly before Christmas. The Jamaica international scored four and assisted three across six league matches before facing Bayern Munich on Bundesliga Matchday 13 when Leverkusen's unbeaten start to the league campaign was undone by a late Robert Lewandowski show. Bailey has had a hand in a team-high 15 goals - nine goals and six assists - in all competitions for Leverkusen so far this season.
A 2-1 defeat to Frankfurt in their first game back from the winter break was followed by a 1-1 draw with lowly Werder Bremen this past weekend, leaving Peter Bosz's men down in third, four points behind leaders Bayern. Teenager Florian Wirtz was rested against Bremen, but will almost certainly start in midweek. Lars Bender is in contention after making his comeback as a substitute following injury, with Jonathan Tah set to make a way in defense. Striker Lucas Alario - who was on target in the 7-0 drubbing of minnows Eintracht Norderstedt in the first round - could also be involved from the get-go after five straight substitute appearances.
Leverkusen: Hradecky - L. Bender (c), Dragovic, Tapsoba, Sinkgraven - Wirtz, Baumgartlinger, Demirbay - Bailey, Alario, Diaby
Out: Aranguiz (Achilles tendon), Arias (ankle), Bellarabi (hand), Palacios (back), Paulinho (knee), Weiser (thigh)
Doubtful: S. Bender (knee)
Coach: Peter Bosz
Leverkusen finished DFB Cup runners-up for the third time in their history last season and Frankfurt also lost to Bayern in last season’s semi-finals. They now travel to Leverkusen on a four-game unbeaten run, fuelled by the goals of Silva. The Portugal international scored a brace of penalties on Saturday to see off the challenge of relegation-threatened Mainz, and extend the Eagles' winning streak to three matches. Andre Silva has contributed to 15 goals for Frankfurt, scoring 13.
Such is his influence, Frankfurt is yet to lose in the 10 games in which he has scored or assisted so far this season. Frankfurt's burgeoning form has taken them up to ninth in the Bundesliga, and only six points adrift of a Leverkusen outfit they came from behind to beat on Matchday 14. Napoli loanee Amin Younes scored one, while Daichi Kamada made the other, with the duo seemingly head coach Adi Hütter's choice partnership in behind the prolific Silva. For Aymen Barkok, that could well mean a third successive start among the substitutes. One man who misses out altogether, however, is suspended left-winger Filip Kostic. Steven Zuber is in line to deputize.
Frankfurt: Trapp - Abraham (c), Hinteregger, N'Dicka - Toure, Ilsanker, Rode, Zuber - Kamada, Younes - Silva
Out: Ache (hamstring), Kostic (suspended)
Doubtful: Willems (match fitness)
Coach: Adi Hütter

There should be goals as in their previous encounter in the league and both teams to score is a very reasonable bet.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
