There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Leverkusen as they are travelling to their away game against Saarbrucken in the DFB Pokal. That match is three days after this one.
The Leverkusen fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 26 goals in 14 league matches. On the other hand, Leverkusen have conceded 17 goals.
Bayern München form and stats
