That Leverkusen vs Atletico matchup\u00a0 featured one of the most dramatic Champions League finishes in recent memory with Atletico missing a late penalty in stoppage time.<\/p>\n<p>Leipzig will hold a pretty significant rest advantage as they played 24 hours earlier at home while Bayer Leverkusen had to travel home from Spain. This will likely be a tough spot for \u2018Die Werkself\u2019 this weekend, considering they have registered just one win away from home all year.<\/p>\n<p>Bayer Leverkusen does have a solid track record in Red Bull Arena over recent seasons, however, going unbeaten across three of their last five games in this venue, including winning the last matchup 3-1 here last November.<\/p>\n<h3>Defense Remains A Major Issue For Bayer Leverkusen<\/h3>\n<p>With an average of 2.4 goals allowed per game to opponents on the road this season, only two teams have a worse overall goals-against record this year away from home than Leverkusen.<\/p>\n<p>The data backs those numbers up as well. \u2018Die Werkself\u2019 owns the league\u2019s second-highest defensive xGA rating away from home this season, with only relegation club Bochum doing worse overall than Leverkusen.
