Bayer Leverkusen is in exceptional form, currently on a 12-game unbeaten streak across both the Bundesliga and the Champions League. Impressively, 11 of those matches have been victories, with the only draw being a 1-1 result away at Bochum.

At the start of the season, defensive issues were a concern, but recent performances show significant improvement. They’ve kept clean sheets in 3 of their last 5 home games, a promising sign for Xabi Alonso’s side. Sitting just 4 points behind Bayern Munich, Leverkusen remains firmly in the title race.

Borussia Mönchengladbach, on the other hand, has been far more effective at home, where they’ve earned 16 of their total points this season. Their away form tells a different story, with just 8 points collected so far. In their last 5 away matches, they managed only one win, a 2-1 victory over Hoffenheim, alongside 3 defeats and a goalless draw.

The most recent head-to-head encounter between these two sides was a thrilling affair, with 5 goals scored and Leverkusen securing a dramatic 3-2 victory on the road.
