Explosive Frankfurt should make home advantage count

BT Sport 1, from 2.30pm Sunday

Frankfurt v Leverkusen

5pm

Frankfurt have suffered successive Bundesliga defeats but a 2-1 win at Lazio in the Europa League in midweek was an improved effort and they can follow up with victory over Leverkusen.

The free-scoring Eagles have netted 15 goals in their last four home league games, highlighted by a 3-0 silencing of Schalke, and they could be too explosive for the inconsistent visitors, who make little appeal on their travels.

Recommendation
Frankfurt draw no bet
2pts 8-11 Coral

Key stat
Leverkusen have won just two of their seven away league games.

Leipzig v Mainz

2.30pm

Leipzig have had a tough month, which has seen them win just one of their last five outings, but they tend to deliver on their own patch and can master mid-table Mainz.

Ralf Rangnick's men are unbeaten in seven home league games this season, keeping clean sheets in each of their last five, while Mainz have failed to score in defeats at Bayer Leverkusen, Schalke and Borussia Monchengladbach.

Recommendation
Leipzig to win to nil
1pt 8-5 Ladbrokes

Key stat
Mainz have lost all three of their league meetings with top-four sides.
