Overview.
Leverkusen have lost four of their six Bundesliga meetings with RB Leipzig (W1, D1). Their highest loss percentage (67%) and lowest points per game average (0.67) against a specific opponent in the competition. Leverkusen are unbeaten in each of their last six Bundesliga home games (W4, D2) – their longest run since May to December 2017 when they avoided defeat in nine consecutive BL games on home turf. Leipzig have only scored more Bundesliga away goals at Hertha (13) than they have at Leverkusen (9). Kai Havertz has scored 13 goals in 2019 – more than any other player born in or after 1999 in any of Europe’s top five leagues. Leverkusen have won nine of their last 12 Bundesliga matches (D2, L1) – more than any other team during this period.

Teams Comparison.
A pair of -1 handicap wins ‘to nil’ have elevated Bayer Leverkusen to just one point off the Bundesliga summit (W4, D1, L1). Those wins mean that seven of the club’s last eight league victories have been achieved via a multi-goal margin, while their 28 goals over that stretch (3.50 average) mark them as entertainers when on form – even their last five league defeats have seen over 3.5 match goals. Undefeated in three at home in the Bundesliga this season, and six overall here (W4, D2), Leverkusen struck first in five of those games – shutting out the opposition in the second half on five occasions. Yet the second period has been their undoing in two of the three all-time H2Hs here, with RB Leipzig turning around two half-time deficits to emerge victorious.
And in a further warning to Leverkusen, Leipzig are three for three on their league travels this term, winning each game by at least two clear goals and having led ‘to nil’ at half-time. Indeed, Leipzig’s colours have been lowered just once on the road in the league since Dec 19, racking up ten wins (D1, L1) in that run, eight of which were achieved in combination with over 2.5 goals. Leverkusen were one of just two sides within those 12 Leipzig away games to score first.
