Bayer vs PSV Prediction: Chosing Total Over Options

Bayer vs PSV: Prediction for the Match on October 1, 2025

On October 1st, 2025, a match of the second round of the general stage of the UEFA Champions League in the 2025/26 season will be held at the BayArena stadium in Leverkusen. Bayer, the local team, will host PSV Eindhoven in this match. The game is scheduled to start at 22:00.

Bayer: form and statistics

Bayer had a successful period under the leadership of Xabi Alonso when they became the national champions for the first time and also won the cup and the German super cup. However, last summer, Alonso was promoted to Real Madrid and several key players, including Florian Wirtz, Jeremy Frimpong, and Granit Xhaka, were sold. The club has undergone a personnel restructuring process, which has been challenging to combine with good results. After the second round, Eric ten Hug was dismissed as the new manager, and Kasper Juhlman took his place. In total, Leverkusen has scored 8 points in five Bundesliga rounds, which is sufficient for sixth place. In the first Champions League match, they shared points with Copenhagen - 2:2. 

PSV: form and statistics

PSV is currently the champion of the Netherlands. Last season, Eindhoven's representatives almost lost their chance at the title, but continued to fight until the end of the championship, taking advantage of Ajax's mistakes and defending the title at the finish line. In the debut of the current Eredivisie season, the Red-Whites are also showing good results. In the first seven rounds, they have scored 16 points out of a possible 21, which puts them in second place in the table. However, in the opening stage of the Champions League group stage, they had a disappointing loss at home against Union - 1:3.
