The Leverkusen club has secured 36 victories in all competitions in the 2023/24 season. Hab? Alonso’s team narrowly defeated “Union Berlin” away. During the season, “Bayer” set a historical record for unbeaten streaks among Bundesliga clubs. The previous achievement belonged to “Bayern” and was 32 matches. The advantage over “Bayern” in the championship is already thirteen points, and this month, the “pharmacists” can secure their debut championship in the Bundesliga. In the previous seven matches, “Bayer” only drew once. Strangely enough, Alonso’s wards stumbled in a confrontation with “Karabakh,” when they had to come back from 0-2 down. It was in the Europa League round of 16 that “pharmacists” faced more problems, but they coped with them. In the home match, substitute Patrick Schick helped by scoring two goals and taking his team to the quarter-finals. It is expected that in the home match against “West Ham,” the coaching staff of “Bayer” will field their leaders from the first minutes.
After a sensational victory over Bayern Munich (2-0), Borussia Dortmund played at home against Stuttgart in a special match as the club celebrated the 50th anniversary of their Signal Iduna Park stadium. However, they failed to delight the yellow-and-black fans. Edin Terzic’s team created more than 2 xG chances but failed to score against their opponents. As a result, Borussia Dortmund conceded a goal to Sasa Kalajdzic and suffered a 0-1 defeat. Now Borussia Dortmund is in fifth place in the Bundesliga, trailing RB Leipzig on additional indicators. So, the game against Atletico is particularly important for Borussia, as Germany has a chance to be one of the top two countries in the coefficient table at the end of the season and secure a place in the Champions League for the 5th Bundesliga team. Recall that in the Champions League round of 16, the German vice-champions knocked out PSV.
