- Leverkusen all ‘pulling in the same direction’, says Martinez.
Carles Martinez believes Bayer Leverkusen should have more points in the Bundesliga table but says his team are "all rowing in the same direction" ahead of their match against RB Leipzig. After losing their first league match against Elversberg, Leverkusen beat Union Berlin and drew 2-2 against Augsburg, recovering late to save the draw. Martinez's boys will take to the pitch on Sunday after winning 2-0 in the Europa League against Celje. “We go into this game full of confidence after Wednesday's win,” Martinez said. "In the league we deserved to have more points, but this is football. We are continuing to work hard as a team to improve. We are all rowing in the same direction to achieve this goal. I can already see many things that I like and that give me confidence that we will be successful. It is a process and within this process it is important not to see everything in black and white. The most important thing is to establish continuity." Leipzig, however, has one point more than Leverkusen, having achieved two great victories against Borussia Mönchengladbach and Hamburg, punctuated by a defeat against Werder Bremen. Rose's boys, however, are coming off a bad 4-1 defeat against Como in the Champions League, followed by a crushing 5-0 victory in the Bundesliga against Hamburg. “Leipzig is a very strong team with talented players,” Martinez said of their opponents. "I will give my all. It's a home game and there will be a great atmosphere. Hopefully we can celebrate together at the end. We have to show passion and energy for every minute of the match." PLAYERS TO WATCH OUT Bayer Leverkusen – Patrik Schick Schick scored in each of the first three matchdays of the championship for the first time. The last one to do so for Leverkusen was Stefan Kiessling in the 2009-10 season. Kiessling scored in each of the first five games of that season, setting a club record which he shares with Dimitar Berbatov, who scored in each of the first five games of the 2005-06 season. RB Leipzig – Antonio Nusa Nusa is one of five players who have been involved in four goals in the Bundesliga so far (two goals and two assists). In the last league match, a 5-0 win against Hamburg, Nusa scored a goal and provided two assists, thus achieving three goal participations in a single league match for the first time. ** PREDICTION: BAYER LEVERKUSEN WIN ** Leverkusen have always scored at least two goals in their last seven league games against Leipzig, losing only one of these seven games (5 wins and 1 draw). They haven't lost in the league against Leipzig in three games (2 wins and 1 draw). Leverkusen have won only one of their last five league matches (4-0 against Union Berlin in their last home match, 2 draws and 2 defeats) and have had the exact same start to the league as last season, with 4 points in 3 matches. Leipzig collected 6 points in the first 3 league games this year (2 wins and 1 defeat), exactly like last year. However, this year he scored more goals in the first three games than last year: 9 goals against 3. But Rose's boys are coming off three consecutive away defeats. The only run worse than this in the club's history was between April and August 2021, when Leipzig lost five consecutive away matches.
What happens now
With the victory in the Europa League, Bayer Leverkusen enters the field against Leipzig with renewed confidence. Martinez's team is determined to obtain a positive result to consolidate their position in the Bundesliga and face the international break in the best possible way. Continuity in performance will be fundamental for their progress in the season.
