It’s easy to see why Bayer Leverkusen will be a popular accumulator pick when it comes to this German football game, with Xabi Alonso taking charge of a team who have not lost a match all season. They have been racking up the wins since the beginning of the campaign, with Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Stuttgart the only sides who have stopped them from triumphing.
Now will come a concerted title challenge and the bookies think that they are likely winners when going up against Augsburg, with forty-two points being earned already. The defence has proved miserly considering that twelve goals have been conceded since the campaign began and Patrik Schick is looking back to his best.
The Czech has actually missed a large chunk of the football season although his hat-trick against Bochum on 20 December suggests that Leverkusen can benefit from this extra firepower, with Victor Boniface also racking up the goals and he was especially prolific before Christmas when scoring five times in six games.
As for Augsburg, they are eleventh in the Bundesliga standings although it’s worth noting that there has only been one defeat in eight home games. Therefore, we can’t completely rule them out from getting a positive result, with the team averaging two goals per home clash. Therefore, an away win and BTTS Yes could be worth backing.
