Team News

FC Heidenheim
Leverkusen
  • Elidon Qenaj and Thomas Keller both suffered long-term ACL injuries. Denis Thomalla is nearing a return from injury.
  • Exequiel Palacios is nearing a return from a muscle injury, while striker Victor Boniface could be out until early April with a muscle tear.
  • Arthur will be out for several months after suffering a setback on his recovery from a thigh injury.
  • Granit Xhaka is struggling with a thigh injury, and will be a doubt here.

Prediction

  • Minnows Heidenheim have conceded a league-high eight penalties, but are riding high on the back of an impressive eight-game unbeaten run.
  • Unbeaten league leaders Leverkusen stretched their advantage at the top to five points after impressively cruising past nearest challengers Bayern last weekend.
  • The reverse fixture ended 4-1 in Leverkusen's favour, but this will not be a walk in the park and we should expect goals at both ends.
