Team News

Leverkusen
FC Heidenheim
  • Timothy Fosu-Mensah is struggling with a knee injury, while Patrik Schick underwent surgery after problems with his adductors.
  • Arthur will be out for 10-12 weeks after suffering a thigh injury while on international duty with the Brazil Olympic team.
  • Elidon Qenaj is ruled out for several months after suffering an ACL injury, while Marnon Busch is struggling with a calf injury.

Prediction

  • Leverkusen snatched a last-gasp equaliser at Bayern last Friday to stay top, but had the poisoned chalice of Thursday Europa League action while Heidenheim have all week to prepare.
  • Bundesliga newboys Heidenheim came from two goals down at Borussia Dortmund to snatch their first ever top-flight point on their last trip.
  • Both sides can find the net and Leverkusen should have the quality to eek out another win.
