Leverkusen
- Carles Martinez has led Werkself to an in-form start since taking over on 4th June 2026 and this clash will be another test of Leverkusen's new pace and energy.
- The hosts are 7th in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 table after three games, with four points on the board, while RB Leipzig are three places higher on six points.
RB Leipzig
Leipzig are also on a mixed run of three wins and two defeats after as many games, including a 4-1 UEFA Champions League loss at Calcio Como and a ruthless 5-0 home victory over Hamburger SV in the Bundesliga.
Head-to-Head
- Leverkusen have won the last 2 H2Hs, including a 4-1 home win in 2025/2026.
- Leverkusen are unbeaten in Bundesliga 2026/2027 home games (W1, L0), averaging 4.0 goals per game with zero goals conceded.
Key Players
- Patrik Schick has been the main man for Leverkusen this season with three goals in three Bundesliga games, but his haul accounts for five of his side's last 11 goals across all current competitions.
- Ridle Baku has been Leipzig's sharpshooter, with two goals in two Bundesliga games, so far.
Betting Insights
- Leverkusen will come into this game as the favourites at 1.9, ahead of Leipzig at 3.35 and the draw at 4.1.
- We'd rather back the over 2.5 goals market at 1.36, which looks the strongest alternative to the main result bet, with both teams to score at 1.36 also making plenty of appeal in this type of game.
Prediction
- Both of these sides like to play with a high level of intensity, but Leipzig are a pressing side who will try to win the ball back in dangerous areas, while Leverkusen are a pace side who burst forward at the opponent with energy and verve.
- The most likely script here will be a close win for Leverkusen, or a high-scoring draw, but the home edge just tips the balance in the favour of the home team.
