Bayer Leverkusen v RB Leipzig: Matchweek 4 pre-match update

Bayer Leverkusen will host RB Leipzig at the BayArena in a Bundesliga 2026-27 Matchweek 4 fixture, with pre-match updates and confirmed starting lineups published on 2026-09-20. Die Werkself arrive having won the last two competitive meetings against Die Roten Bullen.

Carles Martínez Novell’s side come into the game after a 2-0 victory over NK Celje in the UEFA Europa League and a 2-2 draw in their most recent Bundesliga outing against FC Augsburg. Leverkusen are seeking their second league win of the 2026-27 season and will play this fixture at home at the BayArena.

Martín Demichelis’ RB Leipzig returned to winning ways with a 5-0 win against Hamburg SV, a result the report says they controlled from the start, and that victory represented their second win in the Bundesliga 2026-27 campaign. Leipzig head to the BayArena as the away side for this matchweek four encounter.

Patrik Schick, the 30-year-old forward from Czechia, has been a primary attacking threat for Bayer Leverkusen, scoring three goals and registering one assist across the first three Bundesliga matches of the season. Schick’s goals and involvement in the final third are highlighted as key elements of Leverkusen’s attack for this fixture.

Antonio Nusa, the 21-year-old Norwegian winger for RB Leipzig, has contributed four goal involvements in the opening three league games of the 2026-27 campaign. In Leipzig’s previous Bundesliga match against Hamburg he scored once and provided two assists.

Both teams bring recent attacking returns into the match: Leverkusen with their Europa League win and a draw in the league, and Leipzig with a resounding 5-0 league victory. The meeting at the BayArena pits Leverkusen’s home preparations against Leipzig’s momentum from their win over Hamburg.

This fixture is scheduled as part of Matchweek 4 of the Bundesliga 2026-27 campaign.
