Bayer Leverkusen have quite disappointing start of the season as they won only two matches in all competitions and failing to take a victory in three games in a row. First, they let CSKA Moscow to nullify 2-0 lead in the Champions League match. It was followed by 1-2 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt with Chicharito miss from the spot on 88th minute and 0-0 draw with Augsburg this Wednesday, when Aragnis also couldn’t beat opponents’ keeper with penalty kick. As the results, Bayer have only four points and 12th position in Bundesliga after four matches played.
Surprisingly, Bayer don’t have advantage in head-to-heads with Mainz. We should expect to see several goals on both side. First of all, the hosts don’t have any clean sheets and scored in each match and the visiting side have the same record except the very last match against Augsburg.
