Bayer Leverkusen will look to bounce back from a narrow 1-0 loss to Union Berlin and despite Loic Bade’s fresh injury, our prediction points toward a 3-1 home win. Leverkusen remain formidable at home, winning all four of their league fixtures at BayArena and averaging 2.75 goals while keeping clean sheets in every home game. Their expected goals (xG) of 1.51 per home match highlights their attacking quality, while conceding just 1.07 xGA makes them hard to break down.Mainz head into the match after a 1-1 draw with Hamburg, missing defender Silvan Widmer through suspension. Die Nullfunfer have been inconsistent on the road, winning only 25% of away matches and keeping no clean sheets, though they have scored in 75% of their away games. Their xGA of 1.92 away suggests defensive vulnerability against high-quality attacks like Leverkusenâs.
