Bayer Leverkusen
- Philipp Wollscheid and Emir Spahic compete for a spot at centre-back.
- Emre Can is the first option to replace the injured Stefan Reinartz, while Gonzalo Castro should fill in for Lars Bender again.
- Heung-Min Son, Robbie Kruse and Jens Hegeler compete for the spot on the left wing.
Augsburg
- Jeong-Ho Hong and Ragnar Klavan compete for a spot at centre-back.
- Matthias Ostrzolek is suspended for one game and will be replaced by Marcel de Jong.
- With Paul Verhaegh suspended as well, Kevin Vogt could start at right-back.
Prediction
- Leverkusen are in good form at the moment and appear stable in defence and dangerous on the attack.
- Augsburg have not won in their last four games following a promising start to the season. They need to improve on the attack again to take pressure off their back four.
- Expect this to be a competitive game from the outset, with Leverkusen’s quality coming out on top in the end.
Bayer Leverkusen 2 - 1 Augsburg
