Bundesliga in the ticker: In-form Mainz challenges champions Leverkusen
0.
Last Friday, Leverkusen beat Borussia Dortmund 3-2. In comparison, Xabi Alonso changed his starting eleven to a total of four positions. Kovář starts between the posts instead of Hrádecký. The keeper only played in the 2:3 against Leipzig this Bundesliga season, the Werkself’s only league defeat to date, and in three games each in the Champions League and the DFB Cup. Another surprise is that defense chief Tah is missing from the squad. The central defender hasn’t missed a minute this season and is out today due to a cold. Andrich and Tella are also not allowed to start from the start. But Palacios, Aleix García and Wirtz are moving into the starting lineup.
