Bayer Leverkusen will look to extend their strong form in the Bundesliga when they face FC Heidenheim today.
Coach Xabi Alonso has selected a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Lukas Hradecky starting in goal. The defensive trio of Edmond Tapsoba, Jonathan Tah, and Piero Hincapié will be tasked with keeping Heidenheim’s attacking threats at bay.
Jeremie Frimpong and Álex Grimaldo will play as wing-backs, providing width and support for the attack.
In midfield, Granit Xhaka and Aleix García will work to control the tempo, while Exequiel Palacios and Florian Wirtz offer creativity in more advanced roles. Patrik Schick will lead the line as the central striker, with Marvin Pieringer available as a backup option.
FC Heidenheim, coached by Frank Schmidt, will set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Kevin Müller between the posts.
The defense will feature Tim Siersleben, Norman Theuerkauf, and Robert Andrich, with Mikkel Kaufmann and Sirlord Conteh expected to provide width in the attack.
Francis Onyeka and Maximilian Breunig will anchor the midfield, looking to disrupt Leverkusen’s rhythm and launch counter-attacks.
