Today, in the German league, Bayer Leverkusen - Köln and Mainz 05 - Schalke 04 matches will be played. Bayer Leverkusen are struggling to participate in the European Conference League this season. In order to achieve this, they need to finish the league in the 6th place. They will play semi -final matches in the European Cup, but they do not have a good ranking in the league. Nevertheless, we should say that they have not lost their last 9 matches in the league. I think they are the favorite of this match. Mainz 05 are struggling to participate in the European Conference League like Bayer Leverkusen this season. In recent weeks, they have also made a good statistics. I see them as a favorite against Schalke 04.
Leverkusen's performance in the last weeks was not bad. Köln is not a very strong team either, I think there is no reason why Leverkusen should not get 3 points from this match.I think they can finish the league in 6th place. There is not much chance of going to the top anyway, the difference in points between them and the other teams is not small. There are not enough weeks left, we have reached the end of the league
At this point, I actually trust Leverkusen to win this match against Köln. It is true that the opponent is not a very strong one. But at the same time, Leverkusen cannot afford to take things easy right now. The main target of Leverkusen right now is going to be finishing in the top 6 position. It will be hard for them to finish in 5th position.
I believe it will be better not to aim too high. Evening for the sixth position is going to be a very logical thing to do right now. Anyway, I believe they will be able to win this match today.
