Form, Standings, Stats

Last Game: Mainz 1-0 Augsburg
Saturday, February 17 at 2.30pm in Bundesliga

We said: Bayer Leverkusen 3-1 Mainz 05

Both teams will be determined to claim all three points for different reasons, and although Mainz celebrated success at the BayArena last season, there is no hiding the fact that Leverkusen enter Friday's contest as firm favourites to come out on top. Alonso and co have shown that they still boast an attacking threat even without the presence of Boniface, and they should ultimately have few problems breaching Mainz's backline en route to claiming a title-boosting victory.
