H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Bayer Leverkusen Team Overview
🔴 In their previous away match, Leverkusen stumbled and drew 1-1 with St. Pauli. Forward Patrik Schick found the net, assisted by Alex Grimaldo.
🔗 After the game, Xabi Alonso assessed the team's title chances: “Mathematically, the title race isn't over, but we know we've had too many draws this season to compete with Bayern. The gap is significant. Against St. Pauli, there was a period where we played unconvincingly, and conceding a late goal was tough for us. We didn't perform well in the first 15 minutes. Unfortunately, we couldn't capitalize on counterattacks at the end. The result is not favorable for us.”
🔝 Throughout the season, several players have stood out and will be highly sought after in the summer transfer market. The team's top scorer, Czech forward Patrik Schick, has netted 18 goals in 27 matches, placing him second in the scoring charts behind Harry Kane. A key figure in attack is German Florian Wirtz, who has scored 9 goals and provided 12 assists in 27 games.
❌ The return date for attacking player Martin Terrier (Achilles) remains unknown, while defenders Mario Hermoso (hip injury) and Jeanuel Belocian (knee ligament) are out until next season.

Editor's Prediction
The teams exhibit contrasting styles: Bayer are attack-minded, eager to score even at the risk of conceding, while Augsburg focus on solid defense and counter-attacks. Considering head-to-head stats and current trends, we suggest betting on the visitors with a +1.5 handicap. The "Fuggers" have maintained this in their last nine away games. Bayer stumble from match to match, with their title hopes seemingly slipping away, raising questions about the morale of Xabi Alonso's squad.
