Hamburger SV
- Hamburger SV sit 11th in the Bundesliga 2025/2026 with 26 points from 22 matches.
- Die Rothosen are currently unbeaten in 5 Bundesliga matches (W2, D3) after solid back-to-back home results (W1, D1).
- The hosts have a solid home record in the Bundesliga 2025/2026 (W5, D4, L2), and have maintained their solid form at the Volksparkstadion with 1 win and 1 draw from their last two matches there.
Bayer Leverkusen
- Bayer 04 Leverkusen sit 6th in the Bundesliga 2025/2026 standings (40 points from 23 games) and have lost momentum with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat from their last 5 league matches (including no wins in their last two away matches).
- Leverkusen have won 5, drawn 2 and lost 4 of their 11 Bundesliga away games this season (D1, L1 in the last two), and will be looking to find some consistency away from home in this midweek fixture against Hamburger SV.
- Leverkusen create plenty of chances and are always a matchup for their opponents, but some lapses in concentration and recent managerial changes mean that they could be liable to slip up at HSV.
