One of the most interesting title races in Europe this season is taking place in Germany. The current league leaders will be hoping to remain at the summit this weekend, as Bayer Leverkusen chase maximum points when they travel to Darmstadt.
Before Betting On Darmstadt vs Bayer Leverkusen
There have been few more exciting stories in Europe this season than Bayer Leverkusen. Xabi Alonso was appointed coach at the club with Leverkusen when they were sitting in the relegation places in the Bundesliga, but they come into this upcoming round at the top of the standings with a two-point advantage over Bayern Munich.
Darmstadt will be the clear outsiders in the betting this weekend after winning just twice in their opening 19 matches this term. That sees them start the day at the bottom of the standings, but an unlikely win could lift them up to 16th. However, there is little confidence to take from their recent outings in the Bundesliga after they have lost three of their last five.
Darmstadt also have a poor record against Leverkusen after losing six of their last seven in the league. That includes a 5-1 defeat at the BayArena in the previous collision between these sides this season. Leverkusen have also picked up wins in their last three away matches against Darmstadt in the league.
Leverkusen have defied all expectations this season, and they come into this round after going 28 competitive matches without defeat. They are playing the fourth-best season in Bundesliga history, having won 49 points from their opening 19 matches. Only three previous sides have picked up more points in history, with all previous teams ending the season as champions.
Darmstadt vs Bayer Leverkusen Offshore Odds & Pick
Darmstadt have a really poor record in this fixture, and they have found victories hard to come by throughout the season. Therefore, we fully expect Leverkusen to land victory on the road this weekend to maintain their advantage at the top of the Bundesliga.
