- Bayer 04 Leverkusen have won the last two H2H meetings, including a 4-1 home win in Bundesliga 2025/2026.
- Leverkusen average 3.0 goals against Leipzig in five home H2H matches and Leipzig average 2.0 goals as visitors.
Leverkusen to outplay Leipzig in an end-to-end clash
Bayer 04 Leverkusen have made a mixed start to their Bundesliga 2026/2027 campaign, but they will be happy with their 4 points from the first three games and currently sit 7th in the table. RB Leipzig are four places above the hosts with six points from their opening three games.
Carles Martinez took charge of Leverkusen on 4 June 2026 and has built his team around a more direct, high-energy attacking burst. They have won three of their last five matches, drawn one and lost one, but the defeats were only 3-2 in a Bundesliga match at SV Elversberg.
Leipzig have also made a shaky start to the season, with Martin Demichelis having taken over on 1 July 2026. His side have made no change to their aggressive pressing and rapid vertical transitions and have won three and lost two of their five matches this term.
Leverkusen are the value
Leipzig's two most recent results were a 4-1 UEFA Champions League loss at Calcio Como and a 5-0 Bundesliga home win over Hamburger SV. However, their only away game in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 season so far was a loss in which they conceded three goals and they have won one and lost two of their three away fixtures so far this term.
Leverkusen are the favourites here at 9/10, although it is difficult to back them at that price against a top-quality outfit like RB Leipzig. RB Leipzig are priced at 47/20 to win this fixture and the draw at 31/10 looks overpriced too.
This is one of those games that looks like a match for the hosts to win, but Leipzig have a dangerous quality about them and there is little between the two sides in the betting markets. The Werkself have won their only home game this season, averaging 4.0 goals for and none conceded, and that gives them a slight edge.
Werkself have the edge
Over 2.5 goals at 9/25 looks the most solid of the alternatives, but both teams to score at 9/25 is almost as good. A fast game in which both sides score several times looks probable as the high-pressing Leipzig should be up against a Leverkusen team that will run at them with direct, high-energy attacks.
A high-scoring draw isn't out of the question here, but our belief in a Leverkusen win gives us enough confidence to push for a 3-2 win in the correct score market. This should be a highly entertaining clash between two top teams.
Patrik Schick is Leverkusen's danger man and he tops the Bundesliga scoring charts with three goals in three appearances, but has scored five of the last 11 goals for the club in all current competitions. Ridle Baku has been Leipzig's sharpest finisher so far, scoring two goals in their two Bundesliga matches.
