Bayer Leverkusen will look to strengthen their bid for a top-four finish in the Bundesliga when they host Augsburg at BayArena. After a vital 1-0 victory against Borussia Dortmund, Leverkusen has accumulated 42 points, just four behind fourth-placed RB Leipzig. Jarell Quansah is expected to return to the starting lineup after recovering from a thigh injury, joining Robert Andrich and Edmond Tapsoba in defense. The midfield will feature Exequiel Palacios and Aleix García, while Patrik Schick leads the attack. Augsburg, sitting in 10th place with 33 points, is comfortably above the relegation zone but has struggled recently. They previously defeated Leverkusen 2-0 in their last meeting in December. Augsburg's squad will miss Chrislain Matsima due to a hamstring injury, with Robin Fellhauer and Fabian Rieder starting in midfield.
