3912

The final game to be played in the German Bundesliga this weekend takes place on Sunday the 17th of April as Bayer 04 Leverkusen meet RB Leipzig.

The match will be played at the BayArena and the hosts begin the weekend in third place on 52 points while the visitors are in fourth place on 51 points, making this a key game for Champions League qualification.

Bayer Leverkusen come into the game having previously been held to a 0-0 draw at Bochum in the Bundesliga last weekend.

It was a disappointing result against a team in the bottom half of the table and means Bayer Leverkusen have recorded 2 wins from their 7 most recent matches in all competitions.

Both victories came in the Bundesliga and Bayer Leverkusen beat Wolfsburg 2-0 away and Hertha Berlin 2-1 at home.

Form at home in the Bundesliga has been good and Bayer Leverkusen have picked up 4 wins from their last 5 Bundesliga fixtures at the BayArena. In fact, they are undefeated in 8 of their last 9 home Bundesliga games.

Trends show Bayer Leverkusen have managed to score an average of 2.5 goals in their home matches in the Bundesliga this season.

They have scored 2 or more goals in 7 of their last 8 home league games and both teams have scored in the same number of matches, meaning Bayer Leverkusen have been entertaining to watch.

RB Leipzig make the trip to the BayArena on the back of an excellent 2-0 win at Atalanta in the Europa League. That result was good enough to see RB Leipzig progress to the semi-final of the competition and they still have a chance of silverware this season.

The victory at Atalanta means RB Leipzig are undefeated in their 13 most recent games in all competitions. In terms of the Bundesliga, RB Leipzig are undefeated in their last 8 matches, winning 6 of those games.

The wins have come at home against FC Cologne and Hoffenheim, plus away to Hertha Berlin, Bochum, Greuther Fürth, and Borussia Dortmund.

RB Leipzig have won their last 7 away matches in all competitions and they have been scoring plenty of goals on the road in the Bundesliga.

RB Leipzig have scored 2 or more goals in 5 of their last 6 away league games and both teams have scored in 4 of their last 5 on the road.

Team news and Bayer Leverkusen have a significant injury list. Several players are expected to miss this game, including Karim Bellarabi, Jonathan Tah, Sardar Azmoun, Amine Adli, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, and Andrey Lunev.

RB Leipzig have just one player unavailable and Amadou Haidara has a knee injury. However, they will have to assess their squad following the game in Italy on Thursday night.

The Bundesliga have saved the best until last this week and this should be a great game to watch. We expect to see both teams find the back of the net and over 2.5 goals scored. Given their position in the table, it is difficult to split them and the game could end level.
