Odds Presentation

Game Analysis

     

    • Borussia haven't won any of their last 22 BL home games against Bayer 04 (D16, L6) - the longest ever winless run for a home side in Bundesliga history. Gladbach last beat Leverkusen on home soil in February 1989, winning 2-0.
    • Gladbach (11 games) and Leverkusen (10) are on the longest unbeaten runs in the league at present - four straight games without loss is currently the best record for any other BL side.
    • Favre's men have won each of their last eight Bundesliga home games, keeping five clean sheets in the process - it's the best home run in the league at present. The last time Borussia recorded eight consecutive victories on home soil was between August and December 2013.
    • The Foals are top of the 2015 table, having collected 33 points since the winter break. They have only had as many points to their name 14 matches into the second half of the season once before - in 1973/74 (converted to the 3-points-per-win system).
    • Bayer 04 kept their 15th clean sheet of the campaign in their 2-0 win over Bayern last weekend - a new season record for the club.
    • Schmidt's side have conceded just three goals in their last nine league matches, a league low - they let in as many as nine goals in the three games prior to this run.
    • Hakan Calhanoglu scored his fifth BL goal directly from a free kick this term during the Bayern game - a new season record in the top flight since details statistics started being collected in 2004/05.
    • Leverkusen haven't lost any of the 17 competitive matches that captain Simon Rolfes has started this season (W12, D5). Their last defeat with him in the starting line-up was a 2-1 BL loss away to HSV on 4th April 2014.
    • Karim Bellarabi is suspended for Bayer 04 after picking up his fifth yellow card of the campaign. He has been involved in the most Leverkusen goals in the BL this term (11 goals + 6 assists) and has taken the most shots in the league (100).
    • Christoph Kramer is a Leverkusen youth product and is on loan at Borussia until the end of the season. He joined Gladbach in 2013 without a single minute of Bundesliga football under his belt but is set to return to Bayer 04 as a World Champion.
