Leverkusen Insights.

Bayer Leverkusen continue to register impressive results, with their 4-2 comeback win in the UEFA Europa League (UEL) last time out tying in nicely with their unbeaten start to the Bundesliga campaign (W3, D3). That six-game unbeaten top flight start is something they haven’t managed in any of the previous ten seasons, and a lot of that has to do with their solid defence, as only once since 2000/01 have they conceded fewer goals at this stage. All three of Leverkusen’s competitive home games have seen the same result at HT as FT – despite both teams scoring in all three and the last two featuring over 2.5 second-half goals – so what happens early on could decide the fate of this match. That appears especially true considering the last seven H2Hs at all venues saw the team that scored first go on to win.

Gladbach Insights.

Borussia Mönchengladbach travel here in good attacking form, with their 6-0 thrashing of Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Champions League in midweek equaling the club’s previous European away win record that was set back in 1970. That victory also extended their unbeaten run to eight games (W4, D4), seven of which saw Gladbach score first. The entertaining visitors have been involved in eight straight competitive away games with over 2.5 goals, and subsequently have seen an average of 4.0 goals per Bundesliga away fixture this term. The last two away league games saw them score first and in both halves, although that’s something they haven’t achieved at Leverkusen since March 2012.
