The Leverkusen eSports players continue to lead the way going into the third Virtual Bundesliga (VBL) of the current campaign. The #B04eSports players are top on 20 points with a number of teams chasing. “We have to produce top performances again and again each week to maintain our position in the leading group,” said Marc ‘MARC_LDW23’ Landwehr looking at the strength of the rival teams.
The Leverkusen PlayStation ace and his teammates first face VfL Wolfsburg on Tuesday tonight (23 November). The Wolves are currently seventh with just four points less than the Black and Reds.
FC St. Pauli, the second opponents for Leverkusen on the night, have one more point. The fifth-placed team from Hamburg play Bayer 04 at 20.00 CET on matchday 6.
All the matches involving the #B04eSports players will be streamed live on the Bayer 04 Twitch channel.
The Werkself need a win in their penultimate match of the season at RB Leipzig on Monday evening (18:00 CEST) to keep their hopes of third place alive until the final day. After Eintracht Frankfurt lost on Saturday, Roberto Pätzold's side can close the gap on their rivals to two points and leave it all to play for next Sunday.

Today sees Bayer 04 go head-to-head with their next direct rivals in the race for Champions League qualification (kick-off 15:30 CEST). Opponents Stuttgart are currently fifth in the table, level on points with the Werkself but one place below them due to a three-goal inferior goal difference. The Black and Reds' record at Bad Cannstatt tells a clearer story: they've not lost at VfB for over 16 years. One important factor in securing what would be three crucial points away from home is Leverkusen's strength on the counter-attack. Whilst Stuttgart are also extremely dangerous going forward, they will be without their captain. Today’s matchday news.
