It has been an excellent start to the Bundesliga season for Bayer Leverkusen, and they will be looking to maintain their position at the top of the standings. They will come up against Heidenheim on Sunday in the German top-flight, and they will be the clear favourites to land maximum points.
Bundesliga Preview
Bayer Leverkusen will be looking to maintain their position at the top of the standings this weekend, as they chase a fourth victory in five matches. Leverkusen currently sit top of the Bundesliga after four rounds of matches, as they have netted 13 goals and conceded just five.
They continued their unbeaten start to the season with a fine 2-2 draw on the road against Bayern Munich last Friday. This is Leverkusen’s best start to the Bundesliga in 14 seasons, as they haven’t picked up at least ten points from their opening fixtures since the 2009-10 season. Last season, it took 13 fixtures for Leverkusen to pick up ten points in the Bundesliga.

Heidenheim will be the visitors this weekend, as they look to build on their first win of the season last weekend. They have now gone two matches without defeat, and they have scored eight goals and conceded nine across their opening four matches. A victory this weekend would lift them into the top half of the standings.
The visitors have conceded nine goals already this term, which is the most of any newcomer to the Bundesliga since the 2000-01 campaign. However, their attacking threat has been clear to see, as only RB Leipzig in 2016-17 have scored more as a newcomer over the last 50 years.
Bayer Leverkusen vs Heidenheim Head to Head
This will only be the second professional meeting between these two sides. The last meeting came in the DFB Pokal in 2019, as Heidenheim caused a shock result by landing a 2-1 win. However, Leverkusen have lost just once in seven maiden clashes with clubs in the Bundesliga.
Bayer Leverkusen vs Heidenheim Prediction
This should be an entertaining fixture between these two sides in the Bundesliga on Sunday. However, it is incredibly challenging to overlook the start to the season that Leverkusen have made. Therefore, it may be smart to side with the home side when assessing the most likely outcome this weekend.
