Team News

Leverkusen
Salzburg
  • Xabi Alonso will hope to have Jeremie Frimpong available for selection on Tuesday night.
  • The Bayer boss is without no fewer than six players due to injury, with attackers Amine Adli, Martin Terrier and Victor Boniface among those missing.
  • Alexander Schlager and Joane Gadou both return for Salzburg having served bans, with the former set to start between the sticks.
  • The visitors' injury list has eased considerably in recent weeks, with Fernando, Leandro Morgalla, Maurits Kjaergaard and Janis Blaswich ruled out.

Prediction

  • Bayer Leverkusen ended a three-game winless run in fine fashion at the weekend as they eased past FC Heidenheim, romping to a 5-2 win.
  • Salzburg have won only one of their last four, and have endured back-to-back defeats following their 2-1 home loss to LASK on Saturday.
  • Even with their injury issues, Bayer should maintain their unbeaten home run with a victory.
