On Saturday afternoon, German champions Bayer Leverkusen will look to end their Bundesliga campaign unbeaten when they welcome Augsburg to the BayArena in gameweek 34.
Bayer still unbeaten in all competitionsXabi Alonso’s team are unbeaten in all 50 of their games in all competitions this season, having already sealed the Bundesliga title and also sealed a place in the Europa League final.
Bayer has recorded back-to-back wins at Eintracht Frankfurt and Bochum in their last two games, scoring five goals in each victory. In fact, Die Werkself has scored at least two goals in 12 of their previous 14 matches in the Bundesliga.
Leverkusen are unbeaten in 17 league games on home soil, having won five of their last six games. Despite being known for their attacking play, Bayer has also kept clean sheets in six of their previous nine home games in the Bundesliga.
Augsburg are ending the season in poor formFour consecutive Bundesliga defeats have hampered the visitors' unlikely European challenge, leaving them in tenth place in the table. The highest they can realistically finish is ninth.
Augsburg’s main issue of late has been in defence, as the Bavarians have conceded at least three goals in three of their last four games in the German top-flight.
The visitors have travelled poorly of late in the Bundesliga, losing four of their last six away games in the German top flight. Their recent away games in the Bundesliga have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in their previous five outings.
Augsburg has a decent recent head-to-head record against Bayer, winning two of the last three meetings in all competitions.
What am I backing?Bayer Leverkusen have been formidable lately, and I can’t back anything other than a home victory in this encounter.
