Bayer Leverkusen - RB Leipzig

Moussa Diaby remains the focal point for Bayer Leverkusen as they prepare to host RB Leipzig at the BayArena on 20 September 2026. Leverkusen enter matchday 4 looking to build on a solid 2-0 Europa League victory over NK Celje, having previously navigated a high-scoring 2-2 draw against Augsburg. Despite the injury-enforced absence of Ibrahim Maza, the expected XI features a robust defensive unit anchored by Jarell Quansah and Edmond Tapsoba, aiming to provide a stable platform for their creative midfield trio of Afonso Moreira, Malik Tillman, and Aleix Garcia.

RB Leipzig arrive seeking consistency after a dominant 5-0 win over Hamburger SV helped steady their form following a difficult Champions League defeat to Como. Christopher Nkunku leads the attacking threat for the visitors, supported by the energy of Antonio Nusa and Brajan Gruda. With a history of high-scoring encounters between these two sides, including a 4-1 victory for Leverkusen in May 2026, the match promises tactical intrigue as both teams look to assert dominance early in the Bundesliga campaign.
