Following last weekend’s victory over relegated Greuther Fürth, Die Werkself take on the Eagles, looking to pick up another victory in their quest for a top-three finish. The Bundesliga clash between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt kicks off at 19:30 (GMT+1) on Monday, May 2, at BayArena.

Last Saturday, Bayer Leverkusen bagged a 4-1 win over Greuther Fürth at the Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer. The Cloverleaves had taken the lead through Jetro Willems (5') before Patrik Schick (8') restored both sides on level terms three minutes later. Moments later, goals from Sadar Azmoun (18'), Paulinho (58'), and Exequiel Palacios (84') sealed the emphatic 4-1 win. The Company’s Eleven are looking to pick up back-to-back victories, WWDLW, when they take on Frankfurt on the first day of the week. The resounding win over the Cloverleaves saw Leverkusen move one spot up the table, from 4th to 3rd place, having picked up 55 points from 16W, 7D, and 8L. In the race for a third-place finish, Die Werkself are looking to stay ahead of fourth-placed Leipzig [54 points]. A win here would be a huge step in that direction, with three games left to play. Leverkusen have won their last six BL home games against Frankfurt by an aggregate scoreline of 23-3, in what remains their longest current winning streak at home against a current BL team. Furthermore, eighteen different players have scored for the B04 this season. Gerardo Seoane would like to see an unlikely source come up with the goal on Monday. The 43-year-old could line up the 4—4—2 with Sadar Azmoun and Patrik Schick in attack. On availability, Adli (Achilles) and Bellarabi (thigh injury) are both ruled out, alongside Fosu-Mensah (thigh) and Frimpong (ankle).

Relegation-threatened SpVgg Greuther Fürth will take on Bayer Leverkusen at 14:30 (GMT+1) on Saturday, April 23, at the Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer.

Bayer Leverkusen failed to earn a point last weekend following a 1-0 loss to RB Leipzig, courtesy of a single goal by Szoboszlai (69') at the BayArena. Bayer Leverkusen moved one spot down the table from 3rd to 4th place after the defeat and are left with 52 points from 15W, 7D, and 8L, coupled with the form "LWWDL". Leverkusen haven’t lost in any of their three Bundesliga episodes against Greuther Fürth [2W & 1D] and are looking to keep the unbeaten record intact at the end of the weekend. However, having failed to score in their last two Bundesliga matches, the Company’s Eleven could go three games without a goal for the first time since early 2018. Gerardo Seoane and Die Werkself could appear with the 4—2—3—1 formation, having Schick in attack for Saturday’s game against the Cloverleaves. Schick has 20 goals in 23 appearances, coupled with three assists, which adds up to 34% of Leverkusen’s exploits in the final third. Adli (Achilles) and Andrich (suspended) are both ruled out, along with Bellarabi (thigh) and Fosu-Mensah (thigh). In addition, Frimpong (ankle) and Wirtz (knee) are also on the injury list.

After a goalless draw against Bochum, the Company’s Eleven are back against the Red Bulls in a top-of-the-table clash between third and fourth. The Bundesliga fixture, Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs. RB Leipzig, kicks off at 18:30 (GMT+1) on Sunday, April 17, at BayArena.

Bayer Leverkusen failed to find a way past VfL Bochum last weekend after a goalless draw at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion. The Company’s Eleven had only 2 shots on target in 10 attempts while having 59% of the ball. The draw leaves Leverkusen with eight points from a possible fifteen, DLWWD, and in third place with 52 points after 15W, 7D, and 7L. Bayer Leverkusen are one point ahead of RB Leipzig [51 points: 15W, 6D, & 8L] and aim to complete a Bundesliga double over the Red Bulls to increase the one-point gap to four at the end of the weekend. Gerardo Seoane remains nervous ahead of this clash, knowing his side has the lowest winning percentage among current Bundesliga teams against RB Leipzig, 18%. The Werkself have also failed to score twice in their last four Bundesliga matches, despite a goal ratio of 2.34 GPG this season, which leaves them with 68 goals in 29 Bundesliga matches. However, they have the joint-worst defense in the top-five, shipping 42 goals over the course of the season, - an average of 1.45 goals conceded per game, coupled with a goal difference of +26. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Patrik Schick at the top of the attacking-minded shape is expected from Gerardo Seoane against Leipzig. As many as five players are ruled out for Leverkusen, in addition to Azmoun (cold) and Tah (rib injury), who are both in doubt for the weekend’s game.

The Bundesliga clash, VfL Bochum 1848 vs. Bayer 04 Leverkusen, kicks off at 14:30 (GMT+1) on Sunday, April 10, at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion.

Following last weekend’s 2-1 win at BayArena, Bayer Leverkusen bagged three points against Hertha BSC. Lucas Alario (34') and Karim Bellarabi (40') hit the back of the net for Leverkusen, while Darida (42') scored Hertha’s only goal minutes short of half-time. Die Werkself remains in 3rd place on the Bundesliga table, having picked up 51 points from 15W, 6D, & 7L. Leverkusen will be making their return with back-to-back victories, WDLWW, when they take on Bochum on Sunday. The last time Bayer 04 Leverkusen picked up a defeat against VfL Bochum was back in March 2008. With 15 wins this current season, the Company’s Eleven have one more victory on its record than in the entire previous season (14). For this match against VfL Bochum, Gerardo Seoane could line up in a 4—2—3—1 formation with Patrik Schick in attack. Schick has 20 goals in 21 league appearances and three assists for the club, which adds up a 34% contribution to Bayer’s haul of 68 goals. On availability, Adli (Achilles), Fosu-Mensah (thigh), and Frimpong (ankle) are all ruled out of the weekend's fixture, while Lunev (ankle) and Wirtz (knee) are unavailable for this clash.

After a Paulinho-inspired win over the Wolves, the Company’s Eleven are back in the Bundesliga for this clash against the Old Lady. Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs. Hertha BSC, kicks off at 14:30 (GMT+1) on Saturday, April 2, at BayArena.

A brace from Paulinho (86' & 90'+2) propelled Bayer Leverkusen to a 2-0 win over VfL Wolfsburg at the Volkswagen Arena on BL MD-27. Bayer Leverkusen had been without a win in two games before the victory over the Wolves, LWDLW, and are now looking to pick up back-to-back victories at the end of the weekend. Die Werkself remains in third place, three points ahead of fourth-placed RB Leipzig [45 points] while having 48 points from 14W, 6D, & 7L. A victory for Leverkusen could see the three-point gap grow to six if Dortmund picks up a victory over the Red Bulls at the weekend. However, Bayer Leverkusen are winless against Hertha in five Bundesliga episodes [0W, 2D, & 3L], having hit the back of the net only once in the five against the Old Lady. Gerardo Seoane's 4—3—2—1 formation could see Lucas Alario at the top of the attacking formation for Saturday’s game. Amine Adli joined Bayer’s list of injuries after picking up an Achilles injury while on international duty. Frimpong is sidelined with an ankle injury, while Patrik Schick (calf injury) is in doubt for the weekend’s fixture. Kerem Demirbay has accumulated a yellow card suspension, limiting the options in the midfield for Gerardo Seoane. Meanwhile, Florian Wirtz recently went under the knife for corrective knee surgery. In other related news, Die Werkself are keeping an eye on the defensive midfielder, Ellyes Skhiri, who is expected to make a summer switch from FC Köln at the end of the season. The 26-year-old Tunisian is currently valued at €15M by the Billy Goats.

The Bundesliga fixture, VfL Wolfsburg vs. Bayer 04 Leverkusen, kicks off at 17:30 (GMT+1) on Sunday, March 20, at the Volkswagen Arena.

Bayer Leverkusen crashed out of the UEFA Europa League following Thursday’s 1-0 loss to Atalanta in the second leg of their round-of-16 clash. The results saw Die Werkself tumble out of the tournament with a 4-2 aggregate loss. Last weekend, Leverkusen were shocked by a 1-0 loss to FC Köln on home soil. A solitary goal from Kingsley Schindler (67') left the Company’s Eleven with their second defeat in five games: WLWDL. Die Werkself is in third place, with 45 points from 13W, 6D, and 7L, and hopes to maintain its position despite a chasing pack of three, led by the Red Bulls [44 points], on their trail. The Company’s Eleven are looking to avoid back-to-back defeats at the weekend, having recorded no victories in two games for the first time this season. A victory here would keep Dortmund [56 points] in sight, albeit with nine points at best. Gerardo Seoane's 4—2—3—1 could see Lucas Alario at the top of the attacking formation for this clash against Wolfsburg. On availability, Leverkusen will be without as many as four players, which includes Frimpong (ankle injury) and Patrik Schick (calf injury).

The German Bundesliga fixture, Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs. FC Köln, kicks off at 15:30 (GMT+1) on Sunday, March 13, at BayArena.

Bayer Leverkusen are coming off the back of a 3-2 defeat in the first leg of the round-of-16 clash against the Italian side, Atalanta BC, in the UEFA Europa League. Charles Aránguiz (11’) put the Company’s Eleven in front inside the first fifteen minutes. But, three goals from the Goddess of Bergamo left Leverkusen with a two-goal deficit in the 49th minute. Moussa Diaby’s 63rd-minute strike reduced Leverkusen’s deficit to just a goal, ahead of the reverse fixture scheduled for next Thursday at BayArena. Back on home soil, the Company’s Eleven held FC Bayern Munich to a draw at the Allianz Arena on Bundesliga Matchday 25. The draw leaves Bayer Leverkusen with 10 points from a possible 15, after five Bundesliga games: WWLWD. Leverkusen are looking to close the gap on 2nd-placed Borussia Dortmund [50 points], as they sit in 3rd place, with 45 points from 13W, 6D, and 6L. Only FSV Mainz have a longer unbeaten record on home soil in the Bundesliga [8G] this season than Bayer Leverkusen [7G: 5W, 2D, & 0L]. Having won three home games in a row for the first time under the manager, Gerardo Seoane, the Company’s Eleven are looking to make it four in a row. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Alario in attack is anticipated for Sunday's clash against the Billy Goats. Meanwhile, Bellarabi (hamstring), Lunev (ankle injury), and Patrik Schick (calf injury) are all ruled out of this game.

After a narrow victory over the Eagles last weekend, the Reds take on the Company’s Eleven this weekend, looking to maintain their eight-point lead at the top of the table. Matchday 25 presents itself after 216 games and 680 goals. Robert Lewandowski [28 goals] remains the league’s top scorer, while Thomas Müller [16 assists] is the Bundesliga King of Assists. Freiburg’s goalkeeper, Mark Flekken, and Mainz’s Robin Zentner have the joint-highest number of clean sheets, 8 as Greuther Fürth remains rooted to the bottom of the table in 18th place. F.C. Bayern Munich vs. Bayer 04 Leverkusen kicks off at 15:30 (GMT+1) on Saturday, March 5, at Allianz Arena.

Third-placed Bayer Leverkusen have 44 points from 13W, 5D, & 6L, after last weekend’s 3-0 win over Arminia Bielefeld. Having returned to winning ways in emphatic style, WWWLW, the Company’s Eleven are looking to put Bayern’s title race in jeopardy while picking up a few points to keep 4th-placed RB Leipzig [40 points] at bay. Gerardo Seoane and Die Werkself could appear with a Schick-less 4—2—3—1 formation, having Lucas Alario at the top of the shape. Patrik Schick is ruled out with a calf injury along with Karim Bellarabi (hamstring).

After a disappointing defeat to the Zero5ers in last weekend's five-goal thriller on the road, the Company’s Eleven are back against the Blues, hoping to pick up a win and narrow the gap to the top-two. Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs. DSC Arminia Bielefeld kicks off at 15:30 (GMT+1) on Saturday, February 26, at BayArena.

Patrik Schick (35’) bagged the opener late in the first period of last weekend’s 3-2 defeat to FSV Mainz 05. The 20-goal-haul forward saw his 25-yard strike deflected off a Mainz shirt before hitting the back of the net. However, a remarkable 20-yard free-kick from Martin Caricol (57') restored parity at the MEWA Arena three minutes before the hour. Leverkusen took the lead again momentarily through Lucas Alario (74') before efforts from the Dutchman, Jean-Paul Boëtius (84'), and Markus Ingvartsen (88') saw the 05ers leave with the bag. The defeat leaves the Company’s Eleven with 12 points from a possible 15, WWWWL, and in 3rd place after 12W, 5D, & 6L. If Leverkusen wins here, the gap between them and second-placed Dortmund [49 points], who play Augsburg on Sunday, could be reduced to 5 points if the Black and Yellows pick up a defeat to the Fuggerstädter. With a victory in the reverse fixture, Die Werkself are on the brink of completing a season double over the Blues for the first time since the 1999/2000 edition of the German Bundesliga. Gerardo Seoane could line up the 4—2—3—1 formation with Alario at the far end of the attack for this fixture against Arminia Bielefeld. For Saturday's clash, Leverkusen will be without their top scorer, Patrik Schick (calf injury), who was forced out in the 48th minute in the game against Mainz.

The Bundesliga fixture, 1. FSV Mainz 05 vs. Bayer 04 Leverkusen, kicks off at 20:30 (GMT+1) on Friday, February 18, at MEWA Arena.

A 4-2 win over Stuttgart on Bundesliga Matchday 22 left Bayer Leverkusen with four victories in a row, DWWWW. A brace from Tiago Tomás (49' & 88') made up Stuttgart’s haul of two, while Patrik Schick (89’) bagged Leverkusen’s fourth goal, his 19th of the season. With the win, 3rd-placed Bayer Leverkusen has 41 points from 12W, 5D, & 5L. A win for the Company’s Eleven on Friday could see Leverkusen narrow the five-point gap between themselves and 2nd-placed Dortmund [46 points], who have a difficult fixture against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Sunday, to two points. Having picked up four straight victories for the first time with Leverkusen, Gerardo Seoane is aiming for a fifth win in a row with Die Werkself when he lines up the 3—4—2—1 formation, having Patrik Schick in attack. With 19 goals in the bag, Schick remains the second-highest goal-scorer in the Bundesliga, behind none other than Robert Lewandowski [26 goals]. Meanwhile, Mitchel Bakker is suspended for this fixture.
