Lineup: Pervan - Baku Lacroix Zesiger Maehle - Arnold Gerhardt Svanberg – Majer Wind Tomas
BILD reporter Kevin Schwank’s assessment: “Now comes a real cracker and title contender to Wolfsburg. Leverkusen is currently playing the most attractive football in the Bundesliga and is in great form. It will be really difficult for the Wolves to keep points in their home arena – despite their home strength. Pervan is a reliable support, but the absence of Casteels could be a problem considering the offensive power of the guests.”
★★★
Hunt: Jonas Hofmann (4 goals, 4 assists) can set a record. Only Luca Toni (2007/08, Bayern) and Mark Uth (2019/20, Cologne) have achieved at least one scorer point in their first eight appearances for their new club.
Lineup: Hradecky – Koss
