Bayer Leverkusen
LLLWWL
Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of Arminia Bielefeld in DFB-Pokal action, Bayer Leverkusen and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

For their opponents, Arminia Bielefeld had 8 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. Marius Wörl (20') and Maximilian Großer (45') scored for Arminia Bielefeld.
Proving their appetite for productive encounters, we’ve seen goals 20 times in the last 6 matches in which Bayer Leverkusen have taken to the field, giving an average of 3.33 goals for each meeting.

Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Heidenheim are certainly able to breach the defence of this Bayer Leverkusen lineup, although one goal possibly won’t prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
We’re therefore expecting a narrow 1-2 winning score for Bayer Leverkusen when the referee blows the final whistle. Hopefully this is a good one.
