Bayer 04 Leverkusen

vs

RB Leipzig

Tips, Stats and Odds

Bayer 04 Leverkusen sit seventh in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 table after three games, with four points on the board, and RB Leipzig have picked up six points in fourth place after three. Leipzig should be on high alert when they travel to the BayArena, Germany, as they have a disappointing record against the hosts and Leverkusen are unbeaten in their only Bundesliga 2026/2027 game to date.

There's more, they have lost their only game on the road in this competition, conceding three goals on average.

Carles Martinez took over at Werkself on 4 June 2026 and his team have been playing with more intensity and vertical speed since, while Martin Demichelis took charge of Leipzig on 1 July 2026 and his side have continued to play around their aggressive pressing style and quick transitions.

Leverkusen come into this game in mixed form, with three wins, a draw and a loss in their last five games, while Leipzig have three wins and two defeats in their most recent five. Their latest two games have seen them lose 4-1 to Calcio Como in the UEFA Champions League and win 5-0 at home to Hamburger SV in the Bundesliga.

The hosts are in slightly better form at home with one win in one, but the match-up of Leipzig's organised, gegenpressing style of play against Leverkusen's pace and intense bursts of attacking force should lead to an open and end-to-end game.

I make Leverkusen the favorites at 1.9 ahead of Leipzig at 3.35 and the draw at 4.1, but there's a bit more value in backing a tight home win or high-scoring draw in the exact score market.

Over 2.5 goals at 1.36 is the best alternative market, but both teams to score at 1.36 is also worth a look in this game.
