Bayer Leverkusen vs Leipzig Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga
by Daniel Ngulu in Bundesliga Predictions
Bayer Leverkusen’s title defence will meet the first real threat in the second week of Bundesliga action. The champions are set to host RB Leipzig on Saturday, with both teams on three points from opening wins. Ahead of this Saturday match at BayArena in Leverkusen, we have the prediction.
Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen narrowly missed a European title to cap their impressive season in 2023/24. The domestic double winners have already bagged silverware this season after beating Stuttgart on post-match penalties in their Super Cup duel which ended 2-2 in normal time.
After three away matches to start off their season, Leverkusen will be able to play in front of their home fans. Not so many will fancy a Leipzig win here especially after losing in their last two visits to BayArena. However, after two wins in their opening two matches, the visitors will be keen to replicate their 2022 heroics when they won 1-0 at this same venue.

Bayer Leverkusen - Leipzig: Form Analysis
Bayer Leverkusen won their first Bundesliga title in style. They didn’t just put an end to Bayern Munich’s dominance, but also clinched the league undefeated. They would go on to cap it off with winning the DFB Pokal to complete a domestic double.
The team is still unbeaten on German soil since losing to Bochum in May 2023. This season, they’ve kicked off on a high, following their Super Cup win, while a late goal against Borussia Monchengladbach in the league opener earned them three points.
Right ahead of this game, they saw off Carl Zeiss Jena 1-0 in the DFB Pokal’s opening round. With a 43-game undefeated run in domestic action, Leverkusen are clear favorites for three points here. They have three straight wins against Leipzig, two of them being at home.
Leverkusen are off to a flying start already and will be favorites here.
As Leverkusen scored a late winner to see off Monchengladbach, Leipzig labored past a hard-fighting Bochum. It took Antonio Nusa four minutes into his Bundesliga debut to salvage Die Roten Bullen. His goal delivered a 1-0 win at home, giving them a boost as they pack their bags for a tough away game.
With the win, Leipzig are undefeated in 12 league matches, just the perfect warmup for their meetup with Leverkusen. Only the champions have a longer unbeaten streak in Bundesliga (35). One area that Leipzig hold a massive threat is in their attack. The visitors only failed to score at Mainz in all their away league matches last season.
However, they managed only two clean sheets on the road in the league.

Bayer Leverkusen & Leipzig Squad Analysis
The champions still have the core of their team that won the double last season. Defender Jonathan Tah continues to be linked with a move away but he played the full game at Monchengladbach. He will still be called upon here.
Nordi Mukiele has joined from PSG on loan and might be in line for his debut. The game, however, comes too soon for defender Exequiel Palacios who is nursing a knee injury.
After resting a number of players for the DFB Pokal game, Alonso is expected to restore his full-strength squad.
Bayer Leverkusen managed to hold onto their top players from last season.
Leipzig look set to operate with a thinner squad going into this game. Xaver Schlager will not be playing in the near furture after damaging his ACL a few months back. Assan Ouedraogo is also out with a knee problem while Chad Bitshiabu is not yet back from a hamstring injury.
There will be no place in the squad for Willi Orban who was sent off in the opening game.
