Bayer Leverkusen Team News

Although they were in a fight for the fourth position for most of the championship, Bayer Leverkusen finished the previous season in sixth place in the table. The main reason for this was poor results in the last five matches, which led them to end the season with 12 points less than Union Berlin, who secured the fourth spot, and instead of the Champions League, Bayer qualified for the Europa League. In the group stage, their opponents are Hacken, Qarabag, and Molde, and “Die Werkself” already displayed their quality in the first match, defeating Hacken 4:0.

Furthermore, Leverkusen had an excellent start to the season, and after four rounds, they are tied for first place in the table with their biggest rival, Bayern Munich, each with 10 points.

Bayer recorded as many victories in the first three rounds, defeating RB Leipzig 3:2, Monchengladbach 3:0, and Darmstadt 5:1, before playing a major derby in Munich against Bayern in the last round. Despite the home team having the advantage until stoppage time, Leverkusen managed to equalize with a goal in the 94th minute, securing a significant point.

Heidenheim Team News

Heidenheim currently finds itself in 11th place in the table after four rounds, having collected four points. They have adapted to the Bundesliga quite well compared to Darmstadt, who also earned their place among Germany’s elite clubs this year.

Heidenheim’s start could have been more satisfactory as they suffered two defeats in their first two matches. They lost to Wolfsburg 2:0 and Hoffenheim 3:2, despite having a 2-0 lead in the second game.

However, the turning point for this team was the draw against Dortmund. Heidenheim managed to overcome a two-goal deficit and return from their visit to the reigning vice-champions with an important point, which significantly boosted their confidence. This is further supported by the fact that they secured their first win of the season in the following round, defeating Werder 4:2, and there’s no doubt that they are entering the match against Leverkusen in a good mood.
