Leon Bailey will be looking to inspire Bayer Leverkusen to victory over Ritsu Doan and Arminia Bielefeld when the two sides meet at the BayArena on Sunday, with consequences likely at both ends of the table. Read our reasons for Leverkusen vs Bielefeld prediction and betting tips.
Leverkusen grabbed a late win at Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday, with Patrik Schick striking late to end the club's three-game run without a league victory. Peter Bosz still has a long injury list to contend with. The 22-year-old Lennart Grill is expected to keep his place in goal after securing a clean sheet against Gladbach in just his second Bundesliga appearance. At the other end of the field, Schick should start with Lucas Alario having to settle for a place on the bench. Demarai Gray started the previous two matches, with Moussa Diaby sitting out the Matchday 23 loss at home to Freiburg and Bailey suspended last time out.
That pair should be reunited this weekend, though, with the Englishman dropping to the bench. Only Bayern Munich and Hoffenheim (each with eight) have scored more goals on the counter-attack than Leverkusen (seven), of which Diaby has had a hand in all of them. Bailey netted the second of his six Bundesliga goals so far this season in the reverse fixture, opening the scoring in a 2-1 win on Matchday 8.
Leverkusen: Grill - Frimpong, Tah, Tapsoba, Wendell - Amiri, Aranguiz (c), Demirbay - Bailey, Schick, Diaby
Out: Arias (ankle), Baumgartlinger (knee), L. Bender (knee), Fosu-Mensah (knee), Hradecky (heel), Sinkgraven (thigh)
Doubtful: S. Bender (knee), Paulinho (knee), Wirtz (not included)
Coach: Peter Bosz
New Bielefeld coach Frank Kramer is still searching for his first victory in charge after his team following their 0-0 draw with Union Berlin with a 2-0 defeat at home to Werder Bremen in midweek. It was the fourth league game in a row that Bielefeld have failed to find the back of the net, and they will be hoping Doan and club captain Fabian Klos can end that run on Sunday. With three goals and two assists, Doan is Bielefeld's most dangerous attacker this term. He has also taken a team-high 20 percent of all his side's shots on goal in 2020/21 (37 of 189).
Klos was a substitute for the first time this season against Werder but is expected to return to the starting XI. Kramer will have to do without defender Nathan de Medina, who was given a straight red card in the 71st minute after coming off the bench against Bremen. Bielefeld midfielder Manuel Prietl set a new league record for distance covered in a single game this season, running 8.88 miles (14.3 km) in the goalless draw with Union Berlin.
Bielefeld: Ortega - Brunner, Pieper, Nilsson, Lucoqui - Kunze, Prietl - Doan, Hartel, Voglsammer - Klos (c)
Out: de Medina (suspended)
Doubtful: Cordova (head), Soukou (knock), Laursen (thigh)
Coach: Frank Kramer

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
