• Colonge have lost five of their opening six games

Leverkusen continue title chase

Bayer Leverkusen’s brilliant start to the season continued in midweek, as they made it two wins from two in the Europa League in addition to a flying start in the Bundesliga.

Xabi Alonso’s stock continues to grow, with his Leverkusen side top of the table in Germany having won five of their opening six games. Not only that, but they have done it in style, as they’re the joint-top scorers in the Bundesliga, while they’ve won their three home league games to date by an aggregate score of 12-4.

Cologne are little match for hosts

At the other end of the table, Cologne are second-bottom having lost five of their opening six games. They look outmatched going into this weekend’s contest, given the impressive form of the hosts.

Leverkusen have scored at least three times in each of their four home games across all competitions. Forward Victor Boniface is making the most of his chances at home, scoring in each of their last three games at this ground. With six goals in six games in the league this term, the in-form striker should notch against Cologne.

The hosts’ fine scoring record extends beyond Boniface and with 20 goals across six league games, they should cruise by struggling Cologne. Back them to score at least three goals in Sunday’s encounter.
