Command Analysis
Bayer Leverkusen
GermanyCurrent Form
Bayer faced Bayern in a thrilling Bundesliga matchup three days ago, managing to secure a 1-1 draw. Despite Bayern dominating possession throughout the match, Bayer adopted a more cautious approach and successfully held the champions to just one goal. Currently, under the management of Xabi Alonso, Bayer sits in fourth place, trailing the leading Bayern by three points. Notably, the team has been highly productive in the Bundesliga, scoring 14 goals over five matches, though they have also conceded 10 times.
Bayer's Champions League campaign got off to a fantastic start, with the team showcasing their attacking prowess away from home against Feyenoord, scoring four unanswered goals. All goals were netted in the first half, with Wirtz shining by scoring two.
It’s worth mentioning that Florian Wirtz has truly blossomed under Xabi Alonso. Last season, the attacking midfielder recorded 11 goals and 12 assists. This season, in addition to his brace against Feyenoord, he has already netted four goals in the Bundesliga.
