In recent weeks, Bayer Leverkusen have been in hot form. In fact, Gerardo Seoane’s team have been one of the most exciting teams in the German Bundesliga this season, playing the sort of football that gets fans off their seat.
On Friday night, Die Werkself visit Mainz, who still have their eyes fixed on challenging for a top-six spot in the German top-flight table.

However, Bo Svensson’s team’s recent form has been patchy in the Bundesliga. A 1-1 draw at Freiburg last time out means that the home team have picked up four points from their previous two league outings.
Maybe it is a sign that Mainz could be set for a more consistent run in the next few months.
As things stand, the 05ers are ninth-place in the table. However, they are just three points adrift of fourth-place RB Leipzig, in what could be the most exciting race for European spots that Bundesliga has seen for a long time.
Mainz’s strong recent home form could be key to playing European football next season, as they are unbeaten in seven matches at the MEWA Arena, having won their last four league games on home soil.
Bayer Leverkusen look to be in a comfortable position when it comes to Champions League qualification for next season after a stellar campaign.
The visitors are currently third-place in the table and seven points clear of fourth-place RB Leipzig.
Bayer heads into this game on the back of a five-game unbeaten run in the German top-flight, having recorded four straight league wins.
The main factor in Leverkusen’s lofty position in the table has been their attacking prowess, as only league leaders Bayern Munich have scored more Bundesliga goals than Bayer Leverkusen this season.
Forebet predicts that Bayer Leverkusen will continue their recent good league form by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
