On Sunday afternoon, Bayer Leverkusen could be crowned Bundesliga for the first time in their history as they welcome Werder Bremen to the BayArena.
Just one win away from the titleA victory in this encounter would see Die Werkself become Bundesliga champions for the first time.
Xabi Alonso’s team are 16 points clear of second-place reigning champions Bayern Munich with just six remaining games in the German top-flight.
A 1-0 win at Union Berlin last time out was Bayer’s ninth straight league victory. However, the game ended a prolific run of scoring form for Bayer, as they had scored at least two goals in their previous eight Bundesliga outings.
Leverkusen are unbeaten on home soil in the German top flight this season, having also recorded four straight home wins in the Bundesliga.
Bayer has been lethal in front of goal on home soil, scoring at least two goals in their last four Bundesliga games at the BayArena.
Werder Bremen extended their winless run in FrankfurtThe visitors are now winless in their last six games in the German top-flight after a 1-1 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt last time out.
The draw ended at least Werder’s run of four straight defeats in the Bundesliga. The visitors had also conceded at least two goals in their previous four games in the German top-flight.
The Bundesliga's poor recent run has left Werder in 12th place in the table, 11 points adrift of the European spots and eight points clear of the league’s bottom three.
Werder are winless in their last three away games in the Bundesliga, although the draw at Frankfurt ended a short two-game losing streak on their travels.
Their recent away games have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last seven matches.
What am I backing?I am backing Bayer to record that all-important victory to clinch the German top-flight crown.
