Bundesliga – Bayer Leverkusen face Augsburg

Next Saturday at 3:30pm GMT, on matchday 2 of the Bundesliga, we will see Bayer play Augsburg at the Bay Arena.

Augsburg will travel to Bayer, as seventeenth plays thirteenth in the table.

Bayer Leverkusen face his opponents with equal points, it will likely be a thrilling encounter

Bayer come to this fixture on the back of a victory, having beaten Borussia Dortmund 1-0 at Signal Iduna Park.

Also, with an unfortunate Bayer that has not managed to win in their last League so far, Gerardo Seoane’s men form is worryingly poor. The Company’s Eleven should solve their trend if they don’t want to occupy the lasts places in the League Table. Their position is thirteenth in the League and they have no points, that is, 0W, 1L and 0D having lost one game.

Injury and illness have depleted Gerardo Seoane’s Bayer and they will likely be missing four key personnel for Saturday’s match.

Enrico Maassen’s Augsburg, away to Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday, hoping to improve relegation prospects

Having lost to SC Freiburg in their last game, Enrico Maassen’s men must reset and try to gain a positive result in this match.

Also, getting out of a relegation battle requires a string of positive results, but Enrico Maassen’s men know that one losses in one game is a run of form that will be hard to turn around. With no points, they currently sit seventeenth in the League. The breakdown for the team’s record is 0 wins, 1 losses and 0 draws having lost one game.

Augsburg may have to resort to second choice players, given the number of first choice players that are now unavailable through injury, illness or suspension.
