Leverkusen have focused largely on youth this summer and recruited prominently in defense, with Ecuadorian center-back Piero Hincapié the most recent to join the cause from Argentinian outfit Talleres. The 19-year-old is unlikely to feature on Saturday due to quarantine measures, although German midfielder Robert Andrich could debut for Leverkusen after joining from Union this week. Karim Bellarabi, Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Edmond Tapsoba are all set to miss out for the hosts due to injury, while Seoane is hoping Florian Wirtz and Lucas Alario may recover in time to play some role.

A Rheinland derby in Week 2 of the campaign will examine who out of Leverkusen and Monchengladbach is thriving most under new management, having each made changes at the helm this summer. Hütter’s 1-1 draw against Bayern looks more impressive than Leverkusen’s comeback at Union Berlin to secure the same result, though it’s too early to be casting long-term assertions just yet. Die Werkself emerged on the more fortunate side of a 4-3 result the last time these teams met at the BayArena in November, but Gladbach had won back-to-back visits to the ground prior to that.
