Situation: Bayer is already champions, but wants to maintain its aura of unbeatability. Stuttgart, in third place, has the best chance of reaching the Champions League for the first time in 15 years. If fifth place is enough, which is likely, participation would be guaranteed.
Statistics: Bayer won ten of the last eleven competitive duels in their own stadium. One of them already this season: on February 6th with a 3-2 win thanks to a last-minute goal from Jonathan Tah in the quarter-finals of the DFB Cup.
Personnel: In addition to the suspended leader Xhaka, Leverkusen is missing the sick alternative strikers Hlozek and Iglesias. VfB is missing the suspended Stiller and the injured Massimo.
Special: Both teams have already scored 30 points more than last year with four match days to go. According to “Kicker”, Borussia Dortmund’s record from the 2015/16 season is an improvement of 32 points within one year. A winner on Saturday would crack this one.
