Statistics: Bayer won ten of the last eleven competitive duels in their own stadium. One of them already this season: on February 6th with a 3-2 win thanks to a last-minute goal from Jonathan Tah in the quarter-finals of the DFB Cup.
Personnel: In addition to the suspended leader Xhaka, Leverkusen is missing the sick alternative strikers Hlozek and Iglesias. VfB is missing the suspended Stiller and the injured Massimo.
Special: Both teams have already scored 30 points more than last year with four match days to go. According to “Kicker”, Borussia Dortmund’s record from the 2015/16 season is an improvement of 32 points within one year. A winner on Saturday would crack this one.
