THE PREDICTION

Excitement and intrigue is set to fill the BayArena as Xabi Alonso takes charge of his first ever Bundesliga fixture as a head coach, leading Bayer Leverkusen into battle here against Schalke 04. The visitors come into this one on the back of consecutive league defeats which doesn’t bode well when considering that they’ll be taking on a fired-up home side desperate to make a good impression on their new head coach. With that in mind, the smart play in this one would be backing Bayer Leverkusen to win via the safety of the draw no bet market.
