Bayer Leverkusen are unbeaten and two points clear of defending Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich ahead of their Matchday 21 showdown
1st: Bayer Leverkusen
Points: 52
Games played: 20
Goals: 52-14 (+38)
Dropping points just four times across 20 matches, Leverkusen are the only unbeaten team left in this season’s Bundesliga.
Xabi Alonso’s team are the second-highest scorers behind second-placed Bayern, but boast the meanest defence. They’re also enjoying the longest run of competitive matches without defeat to start a season in German history (29 in all competitions).
Going just as strong in the DFB Cup and UEFA Europa League, could they be about to end the ‘Neverkusen’ curse once and for all?
