Bayern Leverkusen coaching team Sami Hyypia and Sascha Lewankdowsi have opted for an attacking lineup for the trip to Mainz 05 as they look to regain second place in the Bundesliga.

Stefan Kiessling will lead the line and will be closely supported by the threatening attacking duo of Andre Schurrle and Gonzalo Castro.

Mainz have prolific 12-goal striker Adam Szalai up front and a midfield including the creative Andreas Ivanschitz in behind him.

Mainz: Wetklo; Noveski, Svensson, Pospech, Bell; Soto, Baumgartlinger; Muller, Ivanschitz, Zimling; Szalai

Leverkusen: Leno; Friedrich, Schwaab, Kadlec, Carvajal; Reinartz, Rolfes; Schurrle, Bender, Castro; Kiessling
