Bayer Leverkusen

DWWLDD

In their previous game, Bayer Leverkusen drew 1-1 in the Bundesliga match with Mainz.

A series of dependable displays by the Bayer Leverkusen defensive unit has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 3 from their last 6 fixtures in total. In that period of time, their forwards have scored 8.

Going into this one, Bayer Leverkusen are without an away win for the past 2 league games.

ℹ️ Team News: Hamburg

Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit (Syndesmotic ligament tear), Albert Grønbaek (Hamstring injury) and Nicolás Capaldo (Injury to abdominal muscles) are not available for Hamburg boss Merlin Polzin. Miro Muheim will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

In all likelihood, Hamburg will probably go for a 3-4-3 formation for this game, utilising D. Heuer Fernandes, Nicolas Capaldo, Luka Vuskovic, Jordan Torunarigha, G. Gocholeishvili, Fabio Vieira, Nicolai Remberg, William Mikelbrencis, R. Koenigsdoerffer, Damion Downs and Philip Otele.

📋 Team News: Bayer Leverkusen

There’s a good chance that Leverkusen seem most likely to utilise a 3-4-2-1 lineup, starting the game with Janis Blaswich, Jarell Quansah, Robert Andrich, Edmond Tapsoba, Ernest Poku, Exequiel Palacios, Aleix Garcia, Alejandro Grimaldo, Jonas Hofmann, Ibrahim Maza and Patrik Schick.

✨ Prediction

We believe that Hamburg could find themselves struggling to get anything against this Bayer Leverkusen lineup who we think will likely be able to get on the scoresheet themselves in a winning performance.

We’re therefore anticipating a highly competitive game with a 0-1 victory for Bayer Leverkusen at the conclusion of the game.

It should be a good one.
