RB Leipzig
- RB Leipzig have won three of their last five matches (1 draw, 1 loss) - including a 6-0 blowout of Eintracht Frankfurt in their last home game.
- RB Leipzig have a perfect home record in Bundesliga in 2025-2026, having conceded just three goals (0.50 per game) in six wins.
- Since taking the reins of Die Roten Bullen in July 2025, Werner has quickly overseen the establishment of a fast-paced, vertical style of play.
- Leipzig players know their roles in a system that focuses on quick switches, coordinated pressing and exploiting transitions through the center of the field.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen
- Bayer 04 Leverkusen have won two, drawn one, and lost two of their last five in all competitions - including a 2-2 Champions League draw with Newcastle.
- Kasper Hjulmand’s side have looked more impressive in the final third since the Dane’s appointment in September 2025, but still look vulnerable defensively at times.
- Leverkusen’s average of 2.00 goals per away game suggests they should have enough to test Leipzig’s defense on Saturday.

Key Players
