Football Results

The team from Leverkusen has not won a single point, and Mainz is undefeated and they already have seven points won. The announcement that maybe better days are coming for the “Pharmacists” is the victory in the first round of Europa League against Ludogorets. Last season, both teams made home victories in their mutual matches.

Bayer Leverkusen

Bayer has great problems at the start of the season, although it must be said that they have not had easy opponents. In addition, it was not expected that there would be no point on their account after three rounds. In each of their three games, they were defeated with two goals difference, which means that they are receiving goals easily, even though they have managed to take the lead in the previous two games. In the first round they lost with 2-0 in M'gladbach, after they received goals in the second half.

After that, they welcomed Wolfsburg and were expected to win, especially because they took the lead, but they lost with 3-1, just like in Munich against Bayern. The encouragement for the continuation of the season is a victory against Ludogorets in Europa League. They were losing with 2-0 and managed to turn the result in their favour, but then they received another two goals. There were some changes in the composition, and the hero of the turnover was Havertz with two goals. Now coach Herrlich must make a series of changes to refresh the team.

Probable lineups Bayer Leverkusen: Hradecky – Weiser, Tah, S.Bender, Wendell – Kohr, L.Bender – Volland, Havertz, Brandt – Alario

Mainz 05

Their game was not the best, but Mainz already has seven points on their account and they are still undefeated. They have achieved two triumphs, both at home, and both with one goal difference. They have celebrated against Stuttgart with 1-0, thanks to a goal by Ujah at the end of the match, and the victory over Augsburg in the last round is a special story. Eight minutes before the end, they received a goal, after which Ujah equalized, and then Maxim brought them a triumph in the third minute of the injury time.

Interestingly, both Ujah and Maxim came from the reserve bench and it is clear that coach Schwarz had a good feeling. Between these two triumphs they played 1-1 with Nurnberg 1: 1 in the match in which they were completely outplayed. For this duel we expect Ujah to play from the first minute, because he is in good shape, and Bell returns to the center-back. Midfielder Gbamin should also be on the field.

Probable lineups Mainz 05: F.Muller – Brosinski, Bell, Niakhate, Aaron – Kunde – Ri.Baku, Gbamin – Onisiwo, Quaison – Ujah

Verdict:

We will ignore the current situation on the table because that is not realistic. Bayer needs the first win and this is a great opportunity for the victory because they are on their field and they are a better rival than Mainz, whose game is not as good as the results they have achieved so far, so we do not give them great prospects.
