After a draw at Hamburg last weekend, Leverkusen need a result at home
to keep their Europa League spot. With several teams chasing them, the
team needs to quickly find their form again.
Kaiserslautern are all but down after another loss last weekend. They
are 19 games without a win and the team needs to try to find some kind
of motivation for the rest of the season now.
Expect Leverkusen to dominate the game. They should be heavy favourites.
Bayer Leverkusen 3 - 0 Kaiserslautern
