Team News

Leverkusen
Hannover
  • Jonathan Tah, Sven Bender and Lars Bender are all expected to return from injury here, but manager Heiko Herrlich is expected to field only one or two of them from the off in case there are any setbacks, with Wendell struggling to play 90 minutes already.
  • Dominic Kohr offers a further alternative in central midfield.
  • Lucas Alario should replace the suspended Kevin Volland up front.
  • Julian Korb challenges Oliver Sorg for the spot at right-back.
  • Waldemar Anton could return to the starting XI to replace the suspended Pirmin Schwegler in defensive midfield.
  • Felix Klaus is a doubt to recover from a muscle injury in time, with Ihlas Bebou and Martin Harnik ready to start on the flanks again.

Prediction

  • Leverkusen have only picked up one point from their last three Bundesliga matches and dropped out of the top-4 as a result. They need to beat Hannover by at least five goals to secure a Champions League spot without being dependant on the result of the match between Hoffenheim and Dortmund.
  • Hannover sit in a safe mid-table spot and have nothing to play for, which could play into the hosts' hands here. They've lost three of their last four away matches and the absence of Primin Schwegler should cost them stability in midfield.
  • Expect Leverkusen to try to put pressure on Hannover from the outset, which might open up the possibility of a thrashing.
