BAYER LEVERKUSEN – WERDER BREMA | Saturday 3.30pm
A Champions League victory against Atletico Madrid could change the fortunes of Bayer Leverkusen’s season, who are currently on four points in the league and in the relegation zone. The Aspirins got off to a poor start in their homeland, but as mentioned, on the back of the huge performance on Tuesday night against the Spaniards, then they could quickly find themselves in a league position more in keeping with the team’s roster and coat of arms. Of course, Werder Bremen seem to be the black beast of this team, as they have only come out beaten once in the last five confrontations, despite the different values. And, in addition, the visiting team has even won one challenge, drawing all the others.
A statistic that will probably be updated at the end of the next round, because the feeling, before the break, is that Leverkusen want to take the whole stake in order to work with more serenity during the next weeks without official engagements. The three points are needed by the men led by the Swiss Seoane, who also showed that when they want to, they have every chance of doing well. In short, it looks like a decidedly written match.
