BayArena, Bayer Leverkusen
📊 Match Insights
In search of consistency in the Bundesliga, a fluctuating RB Leipzig will visit Bayer Leverkusen at BayArena on Sunday.
Die Werkself aims to secure consecutive victories for the first time this season, while Die Roten Bullen look to build on their impressive win from their last match.
Carles Martinez Novell's Leverkusen has managed to win just one of their three league matches this season, but they will be encouraged by their recent success in European competition.
Leverkusen began their Bundesliga campaign with an unexpected 3-2 loss to newly promoted Elversberg, but they rebounded with a commanding 4-0 victory over Union Berlin on September 5.
Fans anticipated a strong follow-up after that impressive display, but Martinez Novell’s team had to rely on an 89th-minute equalizer from Patrik Schick to secure a 2-2 draw against Augsburg the following week.
This uneven start leaves Leverkusen in seventh place with four points, but a win in the Bundesliga could propel them into the top five this weekend.
The hosts will draw confidence from their 2-0 victory over NK Celje on Wednesday, marking a solid beginning to their Europa League campaign.
On the other hand, Martin Demichelis's Leipzig has also struggled with consistency this season, as the new manager looks to prove himself in what is expected to be the team's toughest challenge so far.
Die Roten Bullen kicked off their Bundesliga season with a convincing 3-0 win against Borussia Monchengladbach, sparking optimism among fans for the upcoming year.
