Bundesliga 2024-2025: Bayer Leverkusen-Augsburg, the likely lineups

After draws with Union Berlin and St. Pauli, Bayer Leverkusen is obliged to win at home with Augsburg in order to continue its hopes of winning the title, now a full eight points away with four days to go. The guests, for their part, will try to leave the BayArena with a positive result to continue their chase for a European spot.

Xabi Alonso is expected to rely on Schick as center forward, with Adli and Wirtz making up the two trequartista line. In the midfield, room for Xhaka and Andrich, with Frimpong and Grimaldo as full-band outsiders.

Thorup is expected to be in the middle.

Thorup, on the other hand, should bet on Tietz as the only forward, with Jensen and Claude-Maurice acting a few meters further back. In defense, to protect Dahmen, trust the trio of Matsima, Gouweleeuw and Zesiger.
