Prediction

  • It's from one extreme to the other for Leverkusen from European giants AC Milan to promoted Holstein Kiel who have all week to prepare.
  • Bottom club Kiel, German champions in 1912, have picked up just a single point at fellow strugglers Bochum.
  • After relinquishing their unbeaten record after 35 games, Xabi Alonso's record-breaking champions will be keen to launch another long unbeaten run and can get the job done here with the minimum of fuss.
