Bayer 04 Leverkusen come into the match having picked up a point thanks to a 1-1 draw at Freiburg in the Bundesliga last weekend. It was a good result against the team currently 5th in the table and Bayer 04 Leverkusen came back from a goal down in the first half to equalise in the second period of the game.
That result means Bayer 04 Leverkusen are undefeated in their last 2 matches having beat AS Monaco 3-2 away in the Europa League last Thursday.
The match went to penalties and it was Bayer 04 Leverkusen who came out on top to progress. However, Bayer 04 Leverkusen have recorded only 2 wins from their last 6 fixtures in all competitions, with both victories coming on the road.
Trends show Bayer 04 Leverkusen have lost each of their last 3 home matches in all competitions, including their 2 most recent Bundesliga games.
They are undefeated in 6 of their last 8 home league matches and have scored 2 or more goals in 6 of their last 7 Bundesliga games on home soil.
Hertha Berlin make the trip to the BayArena on the back of a 2-0 home win over Augsburg in the Bundesliga last weekend. There were no goals in the first half but Hertha Berlin made the breakthrough just after the hour mark and added a second goal in the 70th minute.
Hertha Berlin have won 2 of their last 3 matches, all of which have been played in the Bundesliga. There have been wins over Borussia Monchengladbach and Augsburg at home but concerns remain of Hertha Berlin’s away form.
Trends show Hertha Berlin have lost each of their last 6 away Bundesliga fixtures and have recorded just 1 victory from their last 12 league games on the road.
In their last 24 away games in all competitions, Hertha Berlin have a poor record of just 3 wins and have lost by 2 goals or more in their last 3 away matches.
Looking ahead to the team news and Bayer 04 Leverkusen are without the injured duo of Andrey Lunev and Charles Aranguiz.
Hertha Berlin have several players on the treatment table, including Marc-Oliver Kempf, Márton Dárdai, Wilfried Kanga, Chidera Ejuke, and Kelian Nsona.
Hertha Berlin have a dreadful away record and that looks set to continue this weekend. Bayer 04 Leverkusen have been poor at home in recent games but this could be the match that gets them back on track at the BayArena. We expect to see Bayer 04 Leverkusen win by a 2 goal margin.
