The host, Bayer Leverkusen are currently holding the 6th spot on the league rankings with 31 points, and just 5 points behind the 4th placed team, Borussia Dortmund, so I believe there is still plenty of hope for them to finish this season in the top 4. The form of coach Peter Bosz's team is also very good when they have won the last 2 rounds. Therefore, welcoming a mediocre Fortuna Duesseldorf at home in this round, of course Bayer Leverkusen must set a goal of winning and it is likely that they will not have much difficulty in doing that with a handicap victory.
Fortuna Duesseldorf last season finished the Bundesliga in 10th place, which is very good and unlikely with the squad strength and potential. However, things are not going so well this season for the Rheinländers, with them currently ranked 17th on the log, with just 15 points. Coach Friedhelm Funkel's team are just 3 points away from the relegation zone, so coming to this game, a win today will help Fortuna Duesseldorf in their relegation battle but with Bayer Leverkusen, this is a bit difficult for the club to archieve. And again, having had to play away from home, it is likely that Fortuna Duesseldorf will lose.
