This week’s 21st German Bundesliga opening match FSV Mainz 05 will act as host to host Bayer Leverkusen at OPEL ARENA. This match certainly runs interesting because both the host and their visitors both lost in the last game, FSV Mainz 05 fell 3-0 away to the Augsburg headquarters while Bayer Leverkusen also lost to Heidenheim with a score of 2-1.
From the defeat Bayer Leverkusen had the most painful results, because they lost to the Heidenheim class at the German Cup. Even though Heidenheim played in Division 2 and clearly the quality of players owned by Bayer Leverkusen had more classy players but unfortunately the coach P. Bosz actually lowered the layer players to make the game not optimal even though Bayer Leverkusen had superior goals first.
For the results obtained by FSV Mainz 05 it also broke the record of both those in the previous 2 match days losing to Stuttgart and Norimberga. As a result FSV Mainz 05 dropped to 11th place in the standings, while Bayer Leverkusen ranked 7th in the standings. The visitors are still trying to get into the top 5 of the standings because they are only 2 points behind from Eintracht Frankfurt.
But the difference in points with FSV Mainz 05 is also very close, they are only 3 points behind. But despite the results of yesterday’s German cup defeat, Bayer Leverkusen recorded a surprising result which defeated the defending champion Bayern Munich in the previous match. Bayer Leverkusen’s performance with a full team is very satisfying in that match and it is only natural that in this match Bayer Leverkusen is expected to be able to show the same performance against the hosts, especially in the first round yesterday Bayer Leverkusen won and is likely to win again.
