Bayer Leverkusen have overcome their slow start to the season and have shown hopes of the champions they are.
In their next Bundesliga game, Die Werkself will be traveling to Augsburg. Ahead of the Saturday match, we have the stats and a prediction below.
Augsburg will arrive for this match six points above the relegation playoff position. They’ll be looking to build on their 2-2 draw with second placed Eintracht Frankfurt.
Their scoring consistency has also been improving, failing to score in just two of their last 10 matches. Jess Thorup’s men will also want to tap on their home form here. In the Bundesliga this season, they only lost once in seven matches and won four.
Bayer Leverkusen made another giant step in their season by beating Inter Milan 1-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday. That was their sixth straight win but only their third clean sheet in eight matches.
With their current momentum, Leverkusen should pick a fourth straight league win on Saturday. The one concern they carry into this league game is that in the last four Bundesliga matches, they failed to keep a clean sheet.
Xabi Alonso’s side has just one clean sheet in 14 Bundesliga matches. Away from home in the league, they are unbeaten in the last 23.
Xabi Alonso´s in-form side arrive in Augsburg in high spirits after a dramatic late goal secured a 1:0 UCL victory against Inter on Tuesday. Nodi Mukiele´s injury-time goal made it six wins in a row for the defending Bundesliga champions.
Leverkusen have proven a little less defensively secure this season, especially in away fixtures.
