Bayer Leverkusen look to get back on course after back-to-back defeats to Stuttgart and Hoffenheim. As key defender Edmond Tapsoba return from international duty, we predict that the BayArena outfit will defeat Werder Bremen 3-1. Leverkusen have won 50% of their recent matches, but their home numbers have dipped: just 1.00 point per game and 2.00 goals conceded on average at the BayArena. Forward Nathan Tella and goalkeeper Mark Flekken both limped off with injuries in the Hoffenheim defeat, but Kasper Hjumland has strength in depth.
Die Werderaner, meanwhile, continue to struggle for victories, collecting only 0.80 points per game in their last five. Their away form is particularly poor, with 0 wins and 0.50 PPG, failing to score in 67% of those outings. However, January signing Jovan Milosevic could inject freshness after scoring on debut in the 3-3 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt. Werder’s defensive numbers remain fragile, conceding 1.80 goals per match, though their xGA of 1.66 suggests they often invite pressure.
Historically, this matchup has been open: 79% of H2H games feature over 1.5 goals and 64% see both teams score. Therefore, Over 1.5 goals and BTTS markets seem appealing, alongside Bayer Leverkusen to Win due to Tapsoba's return.
This Bundesliga match will be played on Saturday 24 January 2026 at 14:30.
