#B04eSports: Build confidence for run-in

The key phase of the VBL Club Championship is here. From this week, the Bayer 04 eSports players will compete in the Virtual Bundesliga (VBL) every Tuesday evening up to the final matchday in March. Leverkusen still have nine fixtures to play with a top-six finish as the target. The team want to take an important step forwards tonight.

Marc ‘MARC_LDW23’ Landwehr and Co. face a really tough challenge tonight at 18.00 CET: The virtual encounter is against Hannover 96, the current league leaders of the North West division. It is a clash between two teams with the fewest goals conceded. While the top club have let in 43, the eighth-placed team from Leverkusen have conceded 53 (Borussia Mönchengladbach are also on 53). This match promises to be tense as the overall result in the first half of the season was a 4-4 draw.

the Wolves await

There was also a draw (3-3) with VfL Wolfsburg in the previous meeting of the two sides. Leverkusen go into the second match against the eSports players from the motor city as slight favourites. The Wolves are currently eleventh with 47 points with the Black and Reds having twelve more points in the bag. The kick-off is at 20.00 CET.

All matches live on Twitch

The fixtures involving the #B04eSports team will be broadcast on the club’s Twitch channel as usual. HERE is the link.
