Bayer Leverkusen Preview – Goal potential high in home camp?
Die Werkself are up into fifth place – the position they desired last term but were denied at the expense of Sunday’s opponents – after recording their third successive Bundesliga victory last time out in Freiburg. A fourth on Sunday, meanwhile, would mark the club’s longest sequence of consecutive wins since May 2019, in turn consolidating their status amongst the division’s coveted Champions League berths.
Coupled with their Europa League exploits, Leverkusen have now registered five wins in six competitive fixtures. The sole blemish a 1-0 reverse over in Slavia Prague, when an early sending off for Karim Bellarabi contributed to a poor night in the Czech Republic. A result they atoned for in midweek, however, as they won 4-2 away for the second match running, this time in Israel against a spirited Hapoel Beer-Sheva.
In fact, the goals have flowed for a while now, netting hauls of 3, 4, 4 and 6 either side of that aforementioned loss in Prague. In the Bundesliga, meanwhile, no player has shown more hunger to get among the goalscorers than Lucas Alario, the Argentine whose five goals across the last three rounds puts him level during this period with the ever-prolific Roberto Lewandowski. That is fine company to be keeping.
Borussia Monchengladbach – Foals seeking third away win on the spin?
A week to savour for Marco Rose and his Gladbach side, who can cap it off in style should they take home the spoils from Sunday’s contest inside BayArena – where they have departed victorious in each of the past two Bundesliga campaigns. Nowhere near their usual free-flowing best last Saturday, The Foals still managed to grind out a 1-0 victory over RB Leipzig prior to putting six past Shakhtar Donetsk in midweek.
Tuesday’s result in Ukraine in the Champions League will have given the whole team a collective boost. It was also vindication for strong performances earlier in the group – away to Inter Milan and home to Real Madrid – which should have garnered more than a point apiece. Remarkably, it leaves them perched atop of arguably the most formidable section in the competition.
In the Bundesliga, Marco Rose has seen his side falter more often than he would have liked, recording only three wins in six thus far. However, they are now up into fifth – their highest position of the season – having won back-to-back league games,as well as three of the last four (W3 D1). They have hit precisely three on each of their latest two away encounters, meanwhile, in victories over Mainz (2-3) and FC Koln (1-3).
