Bayer Leverkusen sit 5th in the Bundesliga on 7 points from 4 matches, having scored 10 and conceded 5. On the model's scale they rate 1.32 in attack and 0.79 in defence (1.00 = an average top-flight side, lower defence is better), against Bundesliga averages of 1.04 and 0.97: above the division's average at both ends. Across their last 4 league matches they have 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat, most recently beating RB Leipzig 2-0 at home. That is 1.75 points a match, scoring 2.50 and conceding 1.25 per game across 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. That leaves them 5 points behind Borussia Dortmund at the top, in a table of 18. Among the 18 rated sides in the division that is the 2nd-best attack and the 4th-best defence. They scored in 4 of those 4 and kept 2 clean sheets. Next they travel to FSV Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga on 10 October 2026, a match the model gives them 44%.
