This weekend, Bayer Leverkusen will be seeking a third consecutive Bundesliga victory when they host FC Augsburg.
Leverkusen have turned their early misfortunes around in the last two matches, victorious in both. Augsburg, on the other hand, have lost five matches already, including their previous two encounters.
In view of the two sides’ current positions, this fixture is significant to both as a win for Leverkusen makes it three wins in a row and their fifth overall. It means Leverkusen could be in the process of establishing themselves as a top four threat. For Augsburg, a win in the Bundesliga will mean a great deal as it will boost their confidence dramatically.
“It’s always tough to overcome the kind of pressure that Bayer put on us tonight,” says Luis Enrique. #FCBLive
