Bayer Leverkusen: form and statistics
Last season, Leverkusen failed to defend their Bundesliga title, but they didn’t disappoint either, finishing in second place—only behind Bayern Munich. However, the upcoming season may bring challenges for the team. First, head coach Xabi Alonso has left for Real Madrid and has been replaced by Erik ten Hag. Second, Bayer has undergone notable changes to the squad.
The team has already played two friendlies this pre-season. They suffered a heavy 1–5 defeat against Flamengo’s youth team, but then bounced back with a 2–0 win over Bochum.

Fortuna Sittard vs Bayer Leverkusen Match Prediction 1 August 2025
Bayer is still in the process of rebuilding under Erik ten Hag and has undergone significant squad changes, so a confident and high-scoring performance from the Leverkusen side shouldn't be expected just yet. We believe Fortuna is capable of putting up a fight against this current version of Bayer, and we also expect the upcoming match to be low-scoring. The Dutch side generally tends to produce games with few goals.
