Fifty-game-unbeaten Leverkusen on the verge of never-seen BL record.
Bayer Leverkusen, on the brink of making history as the first unbeaten Bundesliga champion, faces Augsburg in their final season clash, setting the stage for a thrilling encounter at BayArena.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen extended their unbeaten season run to 50 games in a row [41W, 9D, 0L] after an emphatic 5-0 win over ten-man Bochum last weekend. Leverkusen are now looking to go 51 games unbeaten on Saturday when they host Augsburg at home in their final game of the season.
Die Werkself [WDDWW] have 87 points [27W, 6D, & 0L] going into the weekend’s clash, where they also hope to remain unbeaten at home for only the second time after the 1999-2000 season. This year, they have won 42 points [13W, 3D, 0L] in their 16 home games in the Bundesliga.
A victory here would not only make Leverkusen the second club in league history to reach the 90-point mark but also the first team ever to finish a Bundesliga season without picking up a single defeat. Such a win would give the champions an aura of invincibility ahead of two upcoming finals, with the Europa League final against Atalanta scheduled for next Wednesday.
We might see the 3—4—2—1 formation with Patrik Schick in attack once more, as this setup was utilized effectively against Bochum.
FC Augsburg
Augsburg find themselves in 10th place in the Bundesliga, following four consecutive defeats. They have accumulated 39 points from 10 wins, 9 draws, and 14 losses as they approach their final game of the season. This current losing streak is the longest in the league.
While it's mathematically possible for Augsburg to finish in 8th place, securing a spot in the upper half of the table would be a remarkable achievement, given their 15th-place finish last season. They trail 8th-placed Freiburg by just three points, but have the same number of points as 9th-placed Heidenheim, who slightly edge them in goal difference.
The team faces a challenging matchup against Bayer 04 Leverkusen, against whom they have historically struggled, winning only twice in 25 encounters. Augsburg is expected to line up in a 4—3—1—2 formation, with Ermedin Demirović and Phillip Tietz leading the attack, as seen in their recent 1-0 loss to Stuttgart.
Unfortunately, Kevin Mbabu will be unavailable due to suspension for this final game of the season, adding to their challenges as they strive for an upper-table finish.
