Bayer Leverkusen host RB Leipzig at BayArena on 20 September with two points separating them after three Bundesliga rounds. Both attacks have already scored at least eight league goals.

Schick Leads an Eight-Goal Leverkusen Attack

Leverkusen have scored eight goals across three league games, with Patrik Schick finding the net in every round. His movement against Willi Orbán is the decisive duel after the striker also hit a hat-trick in May’s 4-1 victory over Leipzig.

Wednesday’s 2-0 Europa win gives Carles Martínez only three full recovery days. Guéla Doué’s calf injury and Nathan Tella’s muscular problem remove two wide runners, while Eliesse Ben Seghir is doubtful.

Bayer Leverkusen predicted lineup vs RB Leipzig (4-2-3-1): Flekken; Quansah, Tapsoba, Medina, Gutiérrez; García, Fernández; Diaby, Tillman, Maza; Schick.

Nusa Drives Leipzig’s Nine-Goal Start

Leipzig have nine goals and a plus-six difference after three Bundesliga matches. Antonio Nusa produced one goal and two assists in the 5-0 win over Hamburg, while Tidiam Gomis scored his second league goal and Christopher Nkunku opened his return account.

Martín Demichelis is without five players, including Christoph Baumgartner, Rocco Reitz and Assan Ouédraogo. Those midfield absences increase the workload on Ezechiel Banzuzi and Neil El Aynaoui. Leipzig have also lost three consecutive Bundesliga away games, so Nusa’s pace against Jarell Quansah becomes their clearest route to improving that record.

RB Leipzig predicted lineup vs Bayer Leverkusen (4-3-3): Vandevoordt; Baku, Orbán, Lukeba, Raum; Gruda, El Aynaoui, Banzuzi; Nkunku, Gomis, Nusa.

Key Stats:

  • Leverkusen have scored eight goals in three Bundesliga matches.
  • Leipzig have lost their last three Bundesliga away games.
  • Die Werkself won the last two meetings by an aggregate score of 7-2.

Leverkusen have collected four points from their last two league games and then kept a clean sheet against Celje. Schick’s three-game scoring run gives the hosts a reliable route to goal, while Leipzig’s three straight away defeats make an away victory too short at 3.26.

The 1.369 price carries a 73.0% implied probability, and home protection supports a 75% confidence rating. Leverkusen have won four of the last six meetings, so backing them with draw cover is the logical play.

Bayer Leverkusen vs RB Leipzig Prediction, Value Tip

  • Value Tip: Over 3.5 Goals
  • Odds: 1.88 (22Bet)
  • 22Bet Booking Code: X3K29

Every one of the last six Bundesliga meetings produced at least four goals, including Leverkusen’s 4-1 and 3-1 wins last season. That 100% sequence makes the 1.88 price, which implies 53.2%, attractive despite the higher total.

The current attacks strengthen the historical case: these teams have scored 17 goals in six combined league appearances. Leverkusen have conceded five and Leipzig three, while the hosts face a three-day turnaround. The market is underrating both the fixture pattern and the recovery gap.

Verdict: Bayer Leverkusen or Draw (1.369); Bayer Leverkusen 2-2 RB Leipzig.
