Player to watch: Patrik Schick
Patrik Schick put in a memorable performance in the reverse fixture as he scored four goals in Leverkusen's 5-1 rout of Freiburg on home soil. They should be more difficult opposition for the Bundesliga title holders this time around though.
Leverkusen will need to rely on their striker for goals again should they pull off a victory, and Schick did score in their 2-0 win at home to Augsburg last time out. The Czech is looking to net for the third match in a row, and based on his previous outing against Freiburg, nobody should put it past him.
