Key Players
-
Leverkusen
- Patrik Schick leads the Bundesliga goals charts for Leverkusen with six in 15 appearances, but his partner up front, Malik Tillman, has scored three in their last five, so both forwards could be threats to the opposition goal on Saturday.
-
Gladbach
- Gladbach’s most reliable goal threat is Haris Tabakovic, who has 10 in 19 Bundesliga appearances this season.
Betting Insights
- The ‘Both Teams To Score’ market looks very attractive here at 1.55, considering both sides have an attacking edge and Gladbach have been porous in their own box this season.
- Leverkusen’s odds of 2.06 are noted and the 3.25 on Gladbach presents appeal given the hosts' recent form.
Prediction
However, we will take the visitors to edge this contest because of their better form and superior away record.
