Bayer 04 Leverkusen form and stats
0 victories, 0 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Bayer 04 Leverkusen have to build on here at BayArena in the Bundesliga. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Bayer 04 Leverkusen, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Leverkusen enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Mainz 05's place. The match ended 3-0 with Palacios and Frimpong (2) scoring. Just what the doctor ordered, as that was the first league win after going winless in six games in a row. Bayer 04 Leverkusen decided the match against Mainz 05 in the first half, and held firmly on to their lead (3-0) without using too much effort. The team showed great control while saving some energy. Midfield player Frimpong got a match rating of 8.6 in that game, the max score being 10. Frimpong scored two goals, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.
Preceding that match was the home game against TSG Hoffenheim that was lost 0-3.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Leverkusen have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 10 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 3 and lost 2.
There will be little rest for Bayer 04 Leverkusen after this match as they are travelling to Club Brugge for a Champions League game in only four days.
