The reliable betting company announces the central match of the Bundesliga second round, which will be held on August 31 at BayArena in Leverkusen.
Bayer has won the German Super Cup and is determined to defend the champion title
A week before the opening of the regular Bundesliga season, the reigning champion and domestic cup winner Bayer played against Stuttgart in the Super Cup final. It was a very spectacular game – the regular time ended 2-2, but Die Werkself were faultless in the penalty shootout and got their well-deserved trophy. In the Bundesliga opening match, Xabi Alonso’s team was victorious over Borussia Mönchengladbach (3-2), with the winning goal scored only in the 12th minute of the injury time. Florian Wirtz failed to score a penalty, but immediately corrected his mistake by sending the ball into the net after the goalkeeper had reflected his first shot.
In the summer off-season, the club signed Martin Terrier, Jeanuël Belocian and Aleix García, investing €53 million in the newcomers. At the same time, Xabi Alonso managed to keep the core of the winning squad, with which the promising coach is going to conquer new heights.
RB Leipzig confirmed reputation of successful cup fighter
RB Leipzig started the new season with a crushing victory over Essen in the German Cup. Then, in the Bundesliga first round, the Red Bulls got a home victory over Bochum thanks to a single goal scored by Antonio Nusa.
Antonio is one of the club’s many newcomers. In the off-season, RB Leipzig management spent €64 million on strengthening the squad and earned €55 million on Dani Olmo’s transfer to Barcelona.
H2H history
During the champion season, Bayer beat RB Leipzig with the same 3-2 score in both home and away games. 2 of 6 goals for Leverkusen were scored by the defender Jonathan Tah.
