Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen have had a tough start to 2026, losing all three of their matches so far this year across competitions and scoring just once.
Their Bundesliga campaign has suffered, with recent defeats including a 1-4 loss to VfB Stuttgart and a 1-0 defeat to TSG Hoffenheim. On top of that, Bayer Leverkusen fell 2-0 to Olympiacos in midweek Champions League action, making it three consecutive losses at the start of the year.
At home, however, Die Werkself have generally been solid. They won four of their last six home league games in the Bundesliga, though they also lost twice in their last three outings at the BayArena.
With the team’s Champions League progress hanging in the balance, a positive Bundesliga result is essential to halt the slide and build confidence.
Werder Bremen
Werder Bremen are struggling for form and confidence, going seven Bundesliga games without a win, including four defeats. They sit 13th in the table, just five points above the relegation play-off zone, and will be desperate to pick up points.
Away from home, Werder Bremen have been especially poor, failing to win any of their last six league trips (three draws, three losses).
Goals have been hard to come by, and defensive frailties make them vulnerable against attack-minded sides like Bayer Leverkusen.
The Betting Verdict
Bayer Leverkusen are under pressure to end their losing streak, and home advantage gives them a strong edge.
Werder Bremen’s ongoing struggles on the road suggest a Bayer Leverkusen win is likely, but with Werder Bremen’s attack showing flashes, both teams to score is a plausible alternative option.
Expect a high-paced game with chances at both ends, but go for a main bet on Bayer Leverkusen to win the game at fair odds.
