Team News

Bayer Leverkusen
  • Jens Hegeler will most likely replace the injured Lars Bender in central midfield.
  • Gonzalo Castro will switch to the wing again to replace the injured Sidney Sam.
  • Otherwise, manager Hyypiä will probably field an unchanged team.
Nurnberg
  • Marcus Feulner is still suspended and will probably be replaced by Mike Frantz once more.
  • Sebastian Polter and Tomas Pekhart compete for the lone spot up front.
  • After an impressive performance during the week, manager Hecking is unlikely to make any changes.

Prediction

  • Leverkusen have won their last three games and they are second in the league behind Bayern. Their ability to win close games this season could play a part here.
  • Nürnberg are back on track after two draws and a win in their latest matches and the team is full of confidence because of an impressive attacking performance against Hoffenheim during the week.
  • Expect this to be a competitive game, but Leverkusen should be slight favourites at home.
Prediction:
