Bayer won their last league game against Wolfsburg 2-1 to return to winning ways as they look to get back into the top four ahead of next season. They are on the up as a club as evident by the fact that they have already collected the same number of points (41) this season as the did in the whole of last season. Furthermore, the trio of Dominik Kohr, Panos Retsos, and Leon Bailey should be back in contention for this game. First two were suspended for the last game while the latter was rested.
Gladbach drew their last game 2-2 against Werder Bremen, but they would take positives from the fact that they are now unbeaten in their last two games for the first time in 4 months. They are just 4 points away from a European place, but their treatment room is still busy with key players like Fabian Johnson and Ibrahima Traore still out injured.
Leverkusen have failed to find the back of the net in 3 of their last 5 league matches and they have just 2 wins from their last 7 home league games, losing on 3 occasions.
