Xabi Alonso has completely shifted Bayer’s fortunes around since taking over Swiss manager Gerardo Seoane on the bench in October last year.
Die Werkself have moved from the bottom half of the standings to the battle for European places. They are now 7th in the league, sitting just seven points below Freiburg in fourth place, meaning the Champions League qualification in well and truly on the cards.
Alonso’s men continued their dazzling run with a 0-3 thumping of Schalke 04 last weekend in Gelsenkirchen. It was another dominant performance from Leverkusen who found all three goals in the second half.
Bayer are big form favorites in this matchup against Frankfurt who are winless in five straight Bundesliga outings.
