Preview

Match preview

Bayer Leverkusen welcome RB Leipzig to the BayArena in a clash between two attack-minded Bundesliga sides looking to climb into the top four positions. Leverkusen enter matchday four with four points from their opening three league fixtures, highlighted by a commanding 4-0 home victory against Union Berlin and a high-scoring 2-2 draw away at FC Augsburg.

RB Leipzig sit fifth in the table with six points, bouncing back from a 3-1 away defeat at Werder Bremen with an emphatic 5-0 victory over Hamburger SV. With playmaker Antonio Nusa recording two goals and two assists already, the visitors carry significant threat going forward despite being without Christoph Baumgartner and Rocco Reitz through injury.
