Team News

Leverkusen
RBL
  • Exequiel Palacios is on his way back from a knee op, but barring late injuries, Xabi Alonso has almost a full-strength squad to select from.
  • Skipper Willi Orban is suspended after his sending off last weekend. Assan Ouédraogo is getting over a knee op, while Xaver Schlager is recovering from an ACL injury.

Head to Head Stats

R Team W D L Pts
3 RB Leipzig 2 1 0 7
5 B. Leverkusen 2 0 1 6

Prediction

  • A meeting of the two sides with the longest unbeaten Bundesliga runs. Leverkusen, 35 games, host Leipzig, 12 games without a defeat.
  • Xabi Alonso's record-breaking champions began their quest to retain their Bundesliga title with a last-gasp Rhein derby success at neighbours Gladbach, scoring in the 101st minute to secure the three points.
  • Leverkusen edged both meetings 3-2 last term, but are in cup action in midweek, so a draw seems a good option here with Leipzig showing early promise for a sustained title challenge.
