Bayer Leverkusen Preview – Can Leverkusen grab final CL spot?
5th placed Bayer Leverkusen face one of the biggest challenges in their recent club history as Saturday’s hosts look to grab an important three points which could seal a place in next season’s lucrative Champions League.
Leverkusen currently trail 4th placed ‘Gladbach by a two-point margin so the hosts need a win and hope that ‘Gladbach come a cropper at home against Hertha Berlin, so Leverkusen will be highly motivated to bounce back from last weekend’s disappointing 2-0 defeat away from home at the very same Hertha Berlin.
Results at home have been generally positive for Leverkusen who possess an overall record of 8-4-4 31/22 and have won five of their last seven matches at their BayArena, while a home win and over 2.5 goals has occurred in 6 of Leverkusen’s 16 home matches to date.
Mainz Preview – Can Mainz win three on the trot?
Mainz have recently acquired the tag of ‘spoilers’ in the German top flight especially in the quarters of Dortmund and Bremen as the visitors have handed defeats away at Borussia Dortmund and at home against Werder Bremen which has affected these teams at the top and bottom of the Bundesliga.
Mainz have actually won three of their last four matches overall and they’d like nothing more than to spoil Bayer Leverkusen’s party at the BayArena this Saturday afternoon even though they have nothing in particular left to play for in this final round of matches of the Bundesliga season.
The visitors also bring a four-match unbeaten run into this clash having previously registered a 2-0 win at Eintracht Frankfurt along with draws at Cologne and Union Berlin which went some way to ensuring Mainz’s top flight status for next season, but their recent record against Leverkusen isn’t good.
