Heidenheim have already celebrated several surprise victories this season. After their promotion from Bundesliga 2 many did not expect that they stay in mid-table. With currently 27 points they are even closer to the international places than to the danger zone. They have won their last game against Bremen and even managed a draw against Dortmund before that game. Now they will play against Leverkusen. Leverkusen are clearly the better team, but they should not underestimate Heidenheim.
Great work by Heidenheim, it figured out how to remain on the table and is battling with different clubs that have been in the Bundesliga for a long. However, Leverkusen is at another level. I always admire Xabi Alonso and when he accepted the position for the club, I figured he could accomplish big. Leverkusen has a mission greater than this approaching match with Heidenheim. Leverkusen will win or if unfortunate, Heidenheim can get a draw.
Leverkusen will, in my opinion, break the many years of domination by Bayern Munich this year. Xabi Alonso is about to make history.
Looking at their opponents this week, it doesn't seem difficult for Leverkusen to win, especially since they are feeling great, especially after they beat Bayern Munich earlier. They have a very big chance of becoming champions.
Heidenheim will be their opponent this time, Heidenheim is a litle difficult to beat, but they are also not so strong because in the last 5 matches they got a lot of draws.
With their excellent conditions, Leverkusen should be able to win this match and continue their positive trend in the Bundesliga this season. I'm sure Xabi will give his team that mentality and continue their consistency in this mtch. Step by step they passed very well, now they just need to continue and maintain consistency as well as possible, don't let them be quickly satisfied with what they have achieved now.
