Head to the BayArena for this match of the 30th day of the Bundesliga between Bayer Leverkusen and Leipzig. Leverkusen let slip 2 precious points last weekend by conceding the draw (0-0) on the lawn of Bochum. Gerardo Seoane's men had the opportunity to take the lead in the match but Moussa Diaby missed his penalty in the 65th minute. Leverkusen are still on the third step of the podium in the standings but only have more than only a small point ahead of his opponent of the day. Patrik Schick's teammates must win if they want to retain their third place and regain a 4-point lead over Leipzig with 6 games to go from the end of the season.
For its part, Leipzig has just qualified for the last four of the Europa League by winning 3-1 on aggregate against Atalanta, thanks to a double from Christopher Nkunku in the second leg. In the league, Domenico Tedesco's players signed a second success in a row after that obtained on Dortmund's lawn at the start of the month (1-4), beating Hoffenheim (3-0) last weekend. French striker Christopher Nkunku took the opportunity to score his 17th goal of the season and to deliver his 12th assist. The latter was decisive on 8 of the 13 goals scored by his team in the last 4 league games played (5 assists and 3 goals). Will he find the opening in this meeting to give the advantage to Leipzig?
HIGHLIGHTS: BAYER LEVERKUSEN - LEIPZIG
Leverkusen have scored 8 goals in their last 5 Bundesliga games while scoring 16 in the previous 4.
Leverkusen have lost 2 of their last 3 TCC home games.
Leipzig have the second best defense in the league with 31 goals conceded.
Leipzig remains on 7 consecutive victories away TCC.
OUR PREDICTION: BAYER LEVERKUSEN - LEIPZIG
It's the shock of this 30th day of the championship in Germany between third and fourth in the standings! Struggling with their fans in recent games, Leverkusen welcomes a confident Leipzig team away from home. Leipzig have only conceded 3 goals in their last 4 league outings, and scored 17! This offensive strength makes us think that the group trained by Domenico Tedesco should win in Leverkusen in this meeting.
