Bayer Leverkusen team overview
Bayer Leverkusen bring their Bundesliga campaign to a conclusion after a 3:1 defeat at Stuttgart left their Champions League qualification hopes in ruins.
Aleix García´s 1st minute goal gave Bayer the perfect start but VFB fought back with three unanswered goals securing a crucial victory at MHP Arena.
Heading into the final weekend of the Bundesliga season, Bayer now sit sixth in the division, three points behind Hoffenheim and Stuttgart.
Kasper Hjulmand’s side have not been at their best in the final weeks of the season, failing to win eight of 12 games played since the start of March. A lack of clean sheets has been the biggest issue for Bayer, with at least one goal conceded in 11 of their last 12 games. Eight of their nine most recent Bundesliga games also finished with both teams on the scoresheet.
Head coach Hjulmand has a few injury worries this weekend. Martin Terrier (hamstring) and Nathan Tella (muscle) are ruled out through injury, while Christian Kofane is doubtful with a shoulder issue.

Hamburger SV team overview
Hamburger SV make the trip to BayArena after an impressive 3-2 win against Freiburg last weekend. Second-half goals from Luka Vušković (64') and Fabio Baldé (67') secured a fine victory at the Volksparkstadion.
Merlin Polzin’s side have now secured back-to-back Bundesliga wins for only the second time this season following a 2:1 road win at Eintracht Frankfurt two weeks ago.
Hamburg had endured a poor run before their recent Bundesliga victories, picking up just two points from six previous fixtures.
Like the home side, BTTS has been a frequent outcome for the visitors. All but two of their last 13 matches have finished with both teams on the scoresheet.
Hamburg boss Polzin has four absentees for this weekend’s final fixture of the season. Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit (ankle), Miro Muheim (ankle), Robert Glatzel (calf) and William Mikelbrencis (groin) are all ruled out through injury.

Prediction
In the final weekend of the Bundesliga, an open contest with plenty of chances at both ends should be expected.
BTTS is my best bet for a likely high-scoring encounter on Saturday.
Three Reasons Why We Expect BTTS
- Leverkusen have seen BTTS in 8 of their last 9 matches (Bundesliga)
- Leverkusen have seen BTTS in their last 5 home matches (Bundesliga)
- Hamburger SV have seen BTTS in 11 of their last 13 matches
