Leverkusen’s season is not going too well so far. They are only 7th in the Bundesliga. However, Bayer are only two points behind current leader Borussia Monchengladbach. Their Champions League season had an awful start with losing 1-2 against Lokomotiv Moscow at home. The Russian team scored the winning goal after a huge German error as goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky just simply passed the ball to the opponent. On their next game against Juventus, they couldn’t make any real chances, ven though Leverkusen had more possession of the ball. Furthermore, Juve scored from their opportunities. The final score was 3-0 for the Italian side.

If the German defense is playing without any error, their forwards like Kevin Volland and Leon Bailey can score and possibly win the game for them.
