Bayer Leverkusen vs FC Nurnberg

Bundesliga, Germany

Date: 03 Oct 2009

Stadium: BayArena

After the elimination from the Cup by Kaiserslautern, Leverkusen can focus on Bundesliga and keeping the leading position which they share with Hamburger. Nurnberg got off to a weakest start of all the returnees and if they keep this up, their relegation will be imminent. Unlike last few seasons, when Leverkusen mostly played for goal margin, which is why there were no results, this season defense’s great performance is the key of their success. Actually, in four of seven games Leverkusen managed to keep a clean sheet, which is the main reason why they are on top now. Last weekend Leverkusen celebrated a minimum away win over their local rivals Koln and defender Friedrich decided the match. Coach Jupp Heynckes deserves most credit for the good tactics, but experienced Hyypia also contributed to defense’s quality. That is why we think that is more than generous. Of all seven games played so far, Leverkusen’s and Bundesliga’s best striker, Stefan Kiesling failed only in the last two rounds, after being regular on the score sheet in each game. This striker is in fantastic form and in the absence of Helmes the attack relies on him, which is why we expect him to end the mini goalless run. Leverkusen will start the game aggressively towards the opposite net to solve the matter of winner as soon as possible which is why sounds great. In the last seven days Nurnberg suffered three defeats and managed to score only one goal in Munchen against Bayern. Two successive minimum defeats at home against Hoffenheim and Bochum saw Nurnberg drop out from the cup, as well as lose the duel against relegation contenders. Coach Thomas von Heesen can’t count on captain Wolf, who after a two-week ban got injured on training and can’t travel. His absence coincides with three successive defeats, so we don’t expect a different outcome in this match. Nurnberg lost the last three games against Leverkusen with 8-2 goal margin, which is why we think that is a decent offer. In spite of the fact that Nurnberg aren’t doing great lately, they can boast a very disciplined defense that haven’t conceded more than twice in any match so far. Still, having in mind that the team travel to play against inspired Leverkusen, we think that Nurnberg defense might fail precisely this weekend. That is why we find an interesting offer. In the last ten games against Nurnberg, Leverkusen celebrated in five games, but only twice at Bay arena. Hosts are flawless this season and they deserved to be on top, while the visitors are slowly sinking, which is why we think that home win is out of question here. We will post live score and results of this match, as soon as posible.. stay with us.
