Bayern Munich’s defeat at Heidenheim has put Leverkusen just three points away from their first-ever Meisterschale, following a 1-0 victory over Union Berlin. Meanwhile, Leverkusen continued their quest for a treble by defeating West Hem 2-0 in the Europa League quarterfinals. The Pharmacists dominated with 65% possessions and 33 shots attempted, extending their unbeaten run to 42 across all competitions. Leverkusen will aim to seal their Bundesliga crown as early as the 29th gameweek, with 13 triumphs from 14 competitive fixtures. Werder aims to delay Die Werkself’s championship celebrations, but devising a new escape from failure presents a challenge. The River Islanders have been hit by a severe slump in results, with only their second point out of 18 on offer last Friday. Their continental football hopes have plummeted, leaving them with little motivation for the remaining six rounds of the season. Under Ole Werner, the team has shown brilliant finesse in front of the goal, netting precisely one goal in all eight of their Bundesliga visits in 2024.

Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso has a fully injury-free squad available for selection for their upcoming match against FC Barcelona. Leverkusen plans to use a 3-4-2-1 formation with Lukas Hradecky, Odilon Kossounou, Jonathan Tah, Piero Hincapie, Jeremie Frimpong, and Granit Xhaka.

Werder Bremen manager Ole Werner has several players out due to injuries, including Justin Njinmah, Jiri Pavlenka, Skelly Alvero, Amos Pieper, and Niklas Stark. Marco Friedl, Anthony Jung, and Jens Stage are also ineligible. Werder is likely to use a 3-5-2 system, with Michael Zetterer, Julian Malatini, Christian Gross, and others in the lineup.
