Bayer Leverkusen, Recent FormBayer Leverkusen enter this game with a comfortable 2-1 away win over Heidenheim last time out in the league. They came away from that fixture with 62% of the possession and clocked up 18 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Heidenheim managed 6 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
Manager Xabi Alonso will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 3 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 11 goals. They've kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 home games, and they've scored in 21 of their 22 games overall this season.
Their impressive run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 22 games in a row.
Victor Boniface will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Bayer Leverkusen.
Mainz 05, Recent FormMainz 05 will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Augsburg. Their share of possession in that meeting was 46%, while racking up 18 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Augsburg had 10 shots on goal with 3 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Bo Henriksen will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 4 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 7 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
An away win for Mainz 05 is just a distant memory, having not won on the road in 15 games.
The last time these two teams met Bayer Leverkusen enforced their superiority over Mainz 05 with a comfortable 0-3 win.
Leverkusen will be confident of finding the net in this one against Die Nullfünfer, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 13 encounters between the two sides.
Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Victor Boniface (Groin), Arthur de Matos Soares (Tendon) and Exequiel Palacios (Thigh) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Bo Henriksen has a number of injury concerns in his Mainz squad to contend with: Stefan Bell (Heart problems), Jonathan Burkardt (Flu), Maxim Leitsch (Groin), Philipp Mwene (Back), Jessic Ngankam (Knee), Karim Onisiwo (Hip), Nelson Weiper (Knee surgery), Silvan Widmer (Flu) and Robin Zentner (Flu)
