Preview: Leverkusen Vs Heidenheim
The defending champions are already nine points behind in the title race:
Bayer Leverkusen will welcome Heidenheim to the BayArena as club football returns after the final international break. The defending champions of Germany will aim to bounce back to winning ways after dropping points in five of their last six games, including a 1-1 draw against Bochum in their last outing. Leverkusen will count upon their lethal attacking unit to take them over the line.
Heidenheim on the other hand have failed to build upon their good run of performances from last season. They have been one of the inconsistent sides in the Bundesliga this season and have not been able to live up to the expectations. They will need to be solid defensively and be on their toes against Leverkusen’s star-studded attacking line.
