Bayer Leverkusen

LLLWWL

After a losing effort in their last game against Arminia Bielefeld in DFB-Pokal competition, Bayer Leverkusen and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that match, Bayer Leverkusen had 51% possession and 13 attempts on goal with 4 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Bayer Leverkusen was Jonathan Tah (17'). Arminia Bielefeld had 8 attempts 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. Opposition teams have got 12 of this grand total. That kind of pattern won’t necessarily follow through here, however.

Coming into this fixture, Bayer Leverkusen are undefeated in their previous 30 league matches away from home. An amazing run.

↔️ Head to head

🗞️ Team News: Heidenheim

Julian Niehues (muscular problems), Thomas Keller (Adductor injury) and Mathias Honsak (Muscle injury) won’t be available for Heidenheim manager Frank Schmidt.

💭 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.
