In-Form Omar Marmoush And Eintracht Frankfurt Hope To Tackle History At Wounded Bayer Leverkusen

Eintracht Frankfurt and in-form forward Omar Marmoush visit wounded Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday battling the weight of history.

Frankfurt have lost their past 10 games at the BayArena, last avoiding defeat in a 1-1 draw in 2014, when current Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso was still playing for Bayern Munich.

Despite that lean run, Eintracht meet the reigning German league and cup holders full of confidence. Frankfurt scored in added time to draw 3-3 at home against leaders Bayern last time out and remain a point behind in third.

Marmoush has eight goals and four assists in just six league games this season. On Thursday, the Bundesliga named him player of the month for September.
