Bayer Leverkusen-Heidenheim is a Bundesliga Week 5 match and is played on Sunday at 15:30: tv, predictions
Returning to the top of the table is the aim of Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen, a team who also showed good form in the Europa League during the week. You don’t get ten points after four days by chance, and you don’t draw on the pitch of Bayern Munich by chance. No, this is not a possible matter.
It was an easy commitment for the hosts, who thank the calendar as now, after the mid-week commitment that takes away mental and physical energy, they face one of those teams that until the end will fight to remain in the German top league, Heidenheim.
The four-point haul so far is not bad for the visitors, who drew at Borussia Dortmund on the second day and had the luxury of coming away unscathed from one of the most difficult away matches in the league. But the feeling, precisely at a time like this, is that it is more difficult and also a lot to play against Xabi Alonso. A coach who is proving to be ready for the big leap, so much so that there are rumours that he could be Carlo Ancelotti’s heir on the Real Madrid bench next year. But these are speeches that are of little interest at the moment, what we are interested in is trying to understand how this match can end.

The Prediction
There is only one precedent between the two teams: in the German Cup dated 2019 where, resoundingly, Heidenheim managed to eliminate Bayer Leverkusen. Even to take revenge for what was, things will be decidedly different this time. Victory for the hosts in a match that should also give at least three goals in total. Watch out for the possibility that this match will unravel immediately, i.e. in the first 45minutes. In Bayer’s favour, of course.
