Leverkusen - Fortuna Distillery.
*** Local Derby.
Leverkusen: It comes from ten consecutive unbeatable matches and counts three consecutive wins in all competitions. Beyond the comfortable 4-0 in Rapid Vienna for the Juventus, he overcame and put an end to Bayern's unbeaten, dominating 2-1 in Munich. On Wednesday in the cup, 3-2 was hard on the prolongation of the Arminia and qualified for the next round. The regular match ended 2-2.
With few alternatives and a bumpy schedule until the winter break, he is currently facing Fortuna, having a European match in the middle. With a protective mask after a nose break, the main central defender Ömer Toprak will compete. Injured and left out, key sniper Bernd Leno, who will be replaced by experienced Michael Rensing. Ankle problem faces, central defender Daniel Schwaab. Not counting for now, the far-back bk Michal Kadlec and also the average Renato Augusto.
Fortuna Dart: It begins to adapt to the harsh reality of the class. Without winning the last four games (0 / 1 / 3), it was difficult to qualify for the Cup on Wednesday with 1-0 in the extension on Gladbach, to restore calm to the division and to regain some of her lost self-confidence.
"We are facing one of the big teams in the category, which comes from a major victory," Norbert Meier's technician commented today. He was injured in the cup and is doubtful, the captain, midfielder Andreas Lambertz. He is discharged and is punished is also defensive midfielder Oliver Fink. Unsolicited after their recent injuries, aggressor Stefan Reisinger and Stelios Malezas remain.

Werder Bremen - Mainz
Breder Bremen: He could have been better, but he eventually stayed at 1-1 a week ago in Fiert. He started bluntly, accepted 0-1 at 8 ', then reacted, gained control, created opportunities to match to 44'. 1-2 missed good chances without succeeding in the overall roll-over, and eventually threatened to accept a goal.
He did not have a midweek cup race and today he has Mainz, without any major problems, except for right-handed Clemens Fritz.
Mainz: It remains undefeated in its last five games and comes from two very important consecutive wins. Initially, 3-0 defeated Hophanheim in the last game, with Hungarian protagonist Ádám Szalai, who scored three goals. He then qualified for the cup with the 2-0 on Awes.
He traveled to Bremen without the left midfielder Marco Caligiuri, who was injured in the cup. Heinz Müller is also unpredictable. In addition to that, the striker Ivan Klasnic, who has not yet recovered from his injury and will not be able to cope with his former team. Standing out, good midfielder Eugen Polanski, defender Niko Bungert and fast-forward midfielder Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.

Assessment: Leverkusen's low and worthless ace is obvious, although it is a local derby and it would be worthwhile to challenge him. But this is highly dependent on Fortuna, which seems to have no solutions and equal replacements when there are significant shortcomings. Over at Over.
A similar choice and for the second showdown. Werder with many ups and downs is one of the height of a depth.
