Prediction

  • Leverkusen have scored at least twice in all of their 11 games in a club record start to the season under Xabi Alonso.
  • All three Bremen wins have come on their own patch, who should not be underestimated by the league leaders.
  • Leverkusen should have the quality to prevail but this looks like the proverbial banana skin where they could drop points.
