Marvin Friedrich has joined from Union Berlin to bolster defence and may go straight into the side here. Denis Zakaria, Keanan Bennetts, Mamadou Doucoure and Joe Scally could all return after COVID. The former is being linked with a January move to Manchester United. Ramy Bensebaini is away at the Africa Nations Cup with Algeria. Jonas Hofmann is nearing a return from a knee op. Niklas Lomb and Paulinho both have COVID. Charles Aranguiz is nearing a return from a calf injury, but Daley Sinkgraven has suffered a muscle tear. Defenders Odilon Kossounou and Edmond Tapsoba are both away on Africa Cup of Nations duty as well. Austrian Julian Baumgartlinger nears a return from a knee injury and Mitchel Bakker is back from an ankle injury.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Leverkusen's last 6 games (Bundesliga). Leverkusen have won their last 4 matches against Borussia M.Gladbach in all competitions. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Borussia M.Gladbach's last 4 home games (Bundesliga). Leverkusen have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 4 matches (Bundesliga). Leverkusen have scored at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 6 matches (Bundesliga).
Gladbach halted an alarming slide down the table with a 2-1 win against an under-strength Bayern last time out. Bayer Leverkusen's last four games have seen 18 goals in total, so we can expect goals at both ends. Flattering to deceive as usual this season, Leverkusen can at least rely on prolific goalscorer Patrik Schick who has scored 17 goals this season. Leverkusen have won their last four against Gladbach but may have to settle for a draw here. 2:2
