Bayer Leverkusen will host Werder Bremen at the BayArena on Saturday in another round of the 2025-26 Bundesliga campaign. The home side headed into the winter break on the back of an impressive 3-1 away victory over RB Leipzig, but have returned to action out of sorts and could slip out of the European places should they lose again this weekend.
Leverkusen suffered a 1-0 defeat to Hoffenheim in their last league outing, falling behind in the ninth minute and failing to find a way back into the contest. They then headed to Greece during the week, hoping for better fortunes in the UEFA Champions League, but were met with more misery as they lost 2-0 to Olympiacos following a highly profligate performance.
Thanks for the submission!
Werder Bremen, meanwhile, have faced struggles stretching back much further and have slipped into the bottom half of the Bundesliga table. After marking their return to action from the winter break with a heavy 3-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund, Die Werderaner looked on course for an immediate response, coming from behind to lead Eintracht Frankfurt last time out before some lax defending allowed their opponents to level the scores at 3-3 at the death.
