Bayer Leverkusen, Recent FormBayer Leverkusen will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 3-1 away win against 1899 Hoffenheim. They came away from that fixture with 50% of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, 1899 Hoffenheim managed 11 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
Manager Xabi Alonso will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. They have shown that they have a consistent appetite for goals at home of late, having clocked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches at BayArena. When playing at home this season, Bayer Leverkusen has notched up a tally of 4 clean sheets, highlighting the struggle some of their opponents have had to break through on goal.
They have been on a decent run of form lately at BayArena, going undefeated in 5 of their previous 6 games there and notching up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Moussa Diaby will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at BayArena having scored 5 goals in Bayer Leverkusen's last 6 home games in the league.
Mainz 05, Recent FormMainz 05 will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 3-1 home win against Augsburg. In that game they recorded 50 % of the possession, with 16 attempts on goal, 8 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 12 shots on goal.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
