The two most advanced men responsible for causing panic in the opposing defense are Andreas Voglsammer and Taiwo Awoniyi. It is possible that Robert Andrich, Rani Khedira and Max Kruse will play in the most central part of the field. Coach Urs Fischer should not be able to count on Leon Dajaku, Sheraldo Becker, Fabio Schneider, Grischa Promel, Sebastian Griesbeck and Mathis Bruns as they are in the medical department.

Leverkusen comes motivated for this match after an away victory, by 0-3, against Lok Leipzig, for DFB Pokal: Demirbay and Bellarabi scored the goals of this beautiful triumph. Contrary to the “enemy” of this round, Leverkusen’s team should act in a tactical system in 4-3-3, with the objective of using the side lanes to invest in the offensive process. Even so, it’s foreseeable that Leverkusen will adopt a more offensive posture, taking into account their quality relative to that of the “enemy”. The Leverkusen coach is likely to be without Lucas Alario, Karim Bellarabi, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Mitchel Bakker and Edmond Tapsoba because they are injured.
