Elversberg will be looking to make their Bundesliga debut a memorable one when they welcome Bayer Leverkusen in round 1. The newcomers impressed in the German Cup, beating Duisburg 3-1, while they also scored freely in preseason. Elversberg have found the net in all of their last 10 matches, averaging 2.5 goals per game. Summer signing Cole Campbell is likely to make his Bundesliga debut.
Leverkusen, meanwhile, made a flying start by cruising to a 4-0 win over Wehen in the German Cup. The visitors have won seven of their last 10 matches, scoring 28 goals, and they have failed to score in none of those games. Afonso Moreira, Miguel Gutierrez, and Facundo Medina have strengthened the squad, although Alex Grimaldo joined Atletico Madrid. With Leverkusen averaging 2.8 goals per game in their last 10, another attacking display is on the horizon.
As Leverkusen have superior quality and impressed in their DFB Pokal opener, Away Win should be considered, alongside Leverkusen Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (both sides regularly produce high-scoring matches).
This Bundesliga match will be played on Saturday 29 August 2026 at 14:30.
