RB Leipzig want to take advantage of the pressure on Bayer Leverkusen and qualify for the Champions League on the third-last matchday of the Bundesliga season. "We've done a very, very good job so far. Now the crucial thing is to qualify for one of the top four places," said coach Ole Werner. Third-placed Leipzig will only need a win at Bayer on Saturday (18:30/Sky) to secure their place in the top flight.
Leverkusen, in sixth place, are two points behind fourth-placed Stuttgart, who play fifth-placed Hoffenheim. A win is practically a must for Bayer, which could help RB. "At this stage of the season, there will always be games in which a point is no longer worth as much as it might be between matchdays 15 and 20," said Werner. "We're not about to play for a result or think through all the scenarios of how the game could go from the very first moment."
