Bayer Leverkusen have so far accrued 48 points in this season of the Bundesliga

Bayer will hope to increase their wins in a row, having secured a 0-2 victory over Wolfsburg in their last fixture.

Also, Bayer keep finding ways to win, having secured six victories in their last nine matches is astonishing this season and they are looking worthy of the aspiration to qualify for Champion’s League football. With 48 points (14W, 7L and 6D), they are established in third position in the League having won 14 meetings, drawn six fixtures, and lost seven games.

Playing at home, Bayer have won seven matches, drawn two meetings, and lost four fixtures.

Winning this fixture will see Bayer Leverkusen on 51 points.

Good Attacking Performance

Bayer have a good scoring record this season, with 66 netted so far. This has been largely down to the key attacking players: Moussa Diaby (7), Lucas Alario (3), and Patrik Schick (3). Bayer have shown a poor defensive solidity so far, having conceded 41 goals in their previous games.

Bayer’s squad will likely be depleted of three of their key players when they start on Saturday, due to injury or illness.

Hertha go into this fixture with 26 points secured

Hertha come to this match on the back of a 3-0 home win against Hoffenheim at the Olympiastadion.

Also, Felix Magath’s Hertha have lost five of their last six fixtures this season. They currently stand sixteenth in the League, with 26 points for a total of 7 wins, 15 losses and 5 draws having won seven games, drawn five matches, and lost 15 fixtures.

It must be a worrying prospect for Hertha to go back on the road, with a bud run of away performances under their belt this season. So far they have only secured two wins, two darts, and nine losses to the home team.

Victory for Hertha would take their points tally to 29 so far this season.

Going into Saturday’s game, Felix Magath without two of his players, due to illness or injury.
