Leverkusen are currently in second place with 37 points and are seven behind Munich, who are the defending champions, so they know a win would close the gap.
They have managed to win 12 of their opening 16 matches with three defeats and one draw and if they fail to take all three points this weekend their title hopes will more than likely go up in smoke because they will still be seven points adrift but Munich will have a game in hand.
They come into this game on the back of a very disappointing performance as they crashed to a 1-0 home defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt. They cannot afford to drop points at home if they want to be true title contenders.
Werder Bremen are the home team this Saturday and they will be looking to secure their fifth win of the season and try and move away from the relegation zone.
They are currently in 14th position and are only five points clear of the drop zone and they come into this game on the back of a narrow 3-2 defeat against Hertha Berlin.
