Team news
Gladbach will kick off the start of their Bundesliga season without Elvedi, Benes, Stindl, Lang and Villalba. They had a great victory in the DFB Cup last weekend but Bayer is likely to give them a stronger test. Yann Sommer will take the captain’s armband in Stindl’s absence.
Leverkusen is missing Baumgartlinger, Retsos and Pohjanpalo. However, with Leon Bailey signing a new contract with the club, they are starting with a very optimistic outlook of a good season. They are likely to be without Lukas Hradecky who has only just started training again after an injury to his jaw.
Leverkusen has scored in all but two matches out of the last 38 between the two teams. The fixture last season resulted in a 5-1 win to Leverkusen after they had gone behind. Bailey and Brandt will both be hoping to get on the scoresheet to start off a good campaign.
