1.79 for Leverkusen to win is great I think. Leverkusen won in their last three head-to-heads. I don't see any reason not to see another win by them here.

Xabi Alonso has started this season well too. First a German Super Cup won despite being one man down. Later a start with a win in the Bundesliga... I expect this winning streak to continue on this week as well. Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals could also be nice options (even over 3.5 goals would be logical).
The odds seem fine, but I wouldn't rely on the head-to-head games too much. They can't keep winning forever and it's expected that the Leipzig will steal some points eventually.
And it shouldn't be overlooked that Lepzig is a very solid and consistent team. They've been finishing in the top 4 (Champions League places) for the last six years in a row. This should be accounted for.
If Bayer is to lose points this season, it would be to teams like this one. Personally I wouldn't be betting on this game.
Home advantage should work in favour of Bayer though, as Leipzig tended to perform better at home than in away games.
Head-to-head stats aren't everything, but they damn sure matter, especially in a cutthroat league like the Bundesliga. Leverkusen has been running roughshod over teams, especially at home. That ain't luck, it's a pattern. Leipzig is solid, no doubt, but even they might struggle at the BayArena. Both teams play with their hair on fire, they attack relentlessly. So forget about a boring nil-nil draw. This game is gonna be a goal-fest. Bet on goals, not on a winner. That's the smart play here
