In this match, Bayer could finally shed its nickname “Neverkusen.” If Habib Alonso’s team earns three points, Bayer will become the German champion for the first time in history. At the moment, the “pharmacists” lead Bayern by 16 points and are unreachable for them. However, Leverkusen had almost no time to prepare for such an important match, as on Thursday they played against West Ham in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals and managed to snatch a victory with a score of 2-0 in the end. Thus, Bayer continues to compete for trophies in all tournaments it participates in, as they will play against Kaiserslautern in the German Cup final.
After 28 rounds, Werder is only in 12th place, but the gap from Mainz, which is 16th, is a whopping 8 points. So, the team coached by Ola Werner doesn’t have to worry about maintaining its place in the Bundesliga anymore. However, Werder’s recent results are not impressive at all. In their last six matches, the “musicians” have only earned 2 points – draws against Darmstadt and Eintracht. It was against Eintracht Frankfurt that Werder played last weekend.
