The visitors tied Eintracht Frankfurt 1-1. Milos Veljkovic scored the only goal for his side. Jens Stage managed to pick up a red card in this game as well.
But does the away team have a possible chance of even keeping this one close today?
Bayer Leverkusen vs. Werder Bremen Notable Trends
Bayer Leverkusen
The home team is having a great year so far. En route to a Bundesliga title, they have 76 points and are 13 points clear of Bayern Munich right now. They also have a league-best plus 50-goal differential. Not only are they doing well attacking with 69 goals, But they are also doing a great job of limiting opponents’ chances with 19 goals against.
Victor Boniface has ten goals and seven assists. Alejandro Grimaldo has nine goals and 12 assists. Finally, Hradecky, in 27 starts, has 13 clean sheets and 69 saves on the year so far.
Werder Bremen
Conversely, Bremen is seventh from the bottom with 31 points. Furthermore, they’re not entirely clear of relegation danger. It would be unlikely, but the highest current relegation team in Mainz has 26 points. Again, it would be unlikely, but the five-point difference is not insurmountable, so relegation is not completely out of the question.
Mitchell Weiser has three goals and six assists to make a great overall impact. Michael Zetterer has 21 starts, five clean sheets, and 71 saves. However, Dudu is expected to see a possible start today.
