Eintracht Frankfurt (3-4-5, 14 points) hopes to finally win a game after two consecutive draws as it faces Bayer Leverkusen (5-5-2, 17 points), who is on a two-game losing slide, at the Commerzbank Arena this Saturday, November 21 for a 2015-2016 Bundesliga meeting.

The Eagles are coming off drawn games, first to the undisputed league leaders and defending champions Bayern Munich on October 30, then to bottom three squad Hoffenheim on November 7, as per Sports Mole.

Armin Veh's squad had been inconsistent this season and can't seem to string consecutive good performances to create any winning run. They are currently sitting at the no. 12 spot in the league table.

Meanwhile, Bayer is reeling as of late with two straight losses. Their last game was a disappointing 1-2 setback to Cologne at their BayArena on November 7, via Fox Sports.

Mexican striker Javier "Chicharito" Hernández provided the lone goal for Roger Schmidt's side at the 33rd minute, but the team allowed Die Geissböcke defender Dominic Maroh to score a double at the 17th and 72nd.

Bayer was actually a man down in the second half after Greek defender Kyriakos Papadopoulos was sent off at the 53rd.

The prediction is a 1-0 escape for Bayer Leverkusen over Eintracht Frankfurt. Schmidt's men will be looking to bounce back from their previous losses as Chicharito leads them with a goal past Die Adler.

Eintracht Frankfurt starting lineup (4-4-1-1 formation): Hradecky; Hasebe, Zambrano, Abraham, Oczipka; Aigner, Stendera, Reinartz, Ignjovski; Meier; Seferovic

Bayer Leverkusen starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Leno; Wendell, Tah, Hilbert, Boenisch; Toprak, Kampl; Bellarabi, Calhanoglu, Mehmedi; Hernández
