Prediction

  • Xabi Alonso's record-breaking champions sit in third, seven points off the pace with work to do to stay in the title race.
  • FCA have secured 14 of their 16 league points at home, an indication of where their strengths lie.
  • Leverkusen will have to recover from Champions League action against Inter in midweek, while the hosts have all week to nail down a game plan.
  • Augsburg often tend to struggle towards the bottom reaches of the table, but have never actually been relegated from the Bundesliga.
  • Leverkusen edged to a double last season by the narrowest of margins (2-1, 1-0) and can clinch the three points as they look to close the gap at the top.
