Bayer Leverkusen, Recent FormIn their last match Bayer Leverkusen enforced their superiority over Bochum with a 5-0 away win. Their share of possession in that meeting was 68%, while racking up 29 shots along the way, 10 of which were on target, in contrast to Bochum, who had 3 shots on goal with 0 on target.
Manager Xabi Alonso will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 19 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 32 of their 33 games this season, and of the 16 games they have played at home, they've notched up 8 clean sheets.
Their impressive run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 33 games in a row.
Florian Wirtz will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Bayer Leverkusen.
Augsburg, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Augsburg players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Stuttgart. They achieved 23% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Stuttgart's tally of 19 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
Despite scoring 5 goals in their last 6 matches, they have failed to pick up many points, mainly because their back line have shipped 15 goals in that same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded at least one goal in 15 of their 16 games on the road.
Augsburg will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 4 league games in a row.
Ermedin Demirović will be hoping to create problems for Bayer Leverkusen in this one, having scored 3 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Augsburg.
It was no surpirise that the last time these two teams met Bayer Leverkusen came out on top, winning the match 0-1.
Fuggerstädter have some indifferent league form when it comes to away matches against Leverkusen; they have shipped at least 1 goal in their last 5 games away to them. In their last 3 away league games against Die Werkself, Augsburg have conceded a total of 9 goals and that's an average of 3 per game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso ahead of this clash, with Florian Wirtz (Thigh) missing out, which gives Alonso a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Jess Thorup has a number of injury concerns in his Augsburg squad to contend with: Finn Dahmen (Ankle), Raphael Framberger (Cruciate ligament), Robert Gumny (Cruciate ligament), Fredrik Jensen (Calf), Reece Oxford (COVID-19), Elvis Rexhbeçaj (Broken ankle) and Ruben Vargas (Groin)
