Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Stuttgart.  They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Stuttgart's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.  

While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 7, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 4 goals and some valuable points in the process.  They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.  

They have had a good run of form at BayArena recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.  

Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Bayer Leverkusen, Exequiel Palacios will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.

Building up confidence within his squad will be a priority for Borussia Mönchengladbach supremo Daniel Farke after sustaining a heavy 5-2 away loss to Borussia Dortmund.  In that game they had 45% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 8 on target, compared to Borussia Dortmund who had 35 attempts and 13 on target.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 8 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.  

Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
