Xabi Alonso has become the first head coach of Bayer to win 8 consecutive games in the league. Besides, Leverkusen has been performing perfectly well in the European competition. On Thursday, they beat BK Häcken (2:0). This is their five consecutive win in the European competition, which is the team record too. Bayer are currently at the top of the Bundesliga table, two points ahead of Bayern.
The side is in the top 4 but they’re unlikely to fight for the title. Borussia Dortmund are 10 points behind the leader after 12 rounds. However, they’re successful in the Champions League. They beat Milan (3:1) and qualified for the play-offs one round before the end of the group stage.
Bayer have played in the best way possible for all their history in the Bundesliga. They have scored 37 goals in 12 rounds, it is going to be challenging for Borussia Dortmund. Bayer allow 1,69 xG on average, which is a level of team from the middle of the table. Only Gregor Kobel covers them, he’s the best in the league in saves percentage.
Bayer will easily break the opponent’s defensive lines, but Borussia have something to say too. Niclas Füllkrug has been performing well recently (4 + 3). He has either scored or made an assist in 5 of the last 7 games of Borussia Dortmund.
