Team News
Leverkusen
Schalke
- Jonathan Tah could return from a long-term injury to replace Aleksandar Dragovic at centre-back.
- Kai Havertz is expected to miss this match having not trained regularly this week as he is taking his A levels.
- Stefan Kießling and Chicharito both have a chance of starting up front.
- Manager Markus Weinzierl will most likely switch back to a 4-2-3-1 here, with second striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar expected to drop back to the bench.
- Matija Nastasic could retrun from a muscle injury to replace Holger Badstuber at centre-back.
- Leon Goretzka should return from a concussion as well to start in central midfield.
Very happy with this result.
4-4 coming
no 0-4 :(
Leverkusen should play bundesliga.2, what a sh*tty club
@SirCharlesRichfield you should comment 2nd bundesliga clubs, what a sh*tty guy
@wawa You must be Bayer fan cause you only talk pure shit.
@SirCharlesRichfield I wouldn't say they're that bad, lol. They were shockingly bad today though, Ingolstadt and Darmstadt are worse and I'd say some teams have had patches where they've been crap too
@SethTrollins Yeah offcourse Darmstadt is worse..thats because they have different budgets. And still there isnt a big difference between Bayer and Darmstadt
@SirCharlesRichfield But still, look at the table. Bayer look safer than others.
Konoplyanka injured? How has he been this season?
@ksaviauk He's not been given a chance in my humble opinion. He's looked a bit off but he's not had enough game time. Sometimes we've needed his speed and I also feel as if he should've been on the bench over Aogo or Riether today, maybe he doesn't impress in training
@ksaviauk no. he's just playing bad..
3:0 already? wtf is going on?!
@dynek Leverkusen and Korkut going down, thats what is going on...
@neumi17 Nah, they're not going down. Don't think so anyway.
schalke04= 0-4 win
@koziol.mutant When it was already 0-2, ok...
@neumi17 when it was 0-1
@koziol.mutant Leverkusen is also called 04 so maybe it was meant to be.
1:1
@neumi17 mmh Drugs?
this is a great match. And whoscored.com doesn't even think it is worthy for preview for real. this is the same game in which we werre introduced to Manuel Neuer and Rene Adler(who incidentally took the match ball aka man of the match due his incredible saves). And Mirko Slomka schalke 04 coach at that time praised Rene Adler performance.
@Ffaris It's because both teams are doing poorly by their standards, Leverkusen have been god awful without Calhanoglu and Schalke have just been underperforming.
