Bayer Leverkusen vs PSV Prediction and Betting Tips takes us to the BayArena this Wednesday, where both sides will fight for their first Champions League win of the campaign. Leverkusen remain undefeated under new coach Kasper Hjulmand, while PSV arrive in Germany desperate to end a decades-long winless run against Bundesliga opponents. In this preview, we’ll break down the form, injuries, and Soccer Stats that matter most.

• Bayer Leverkusen are unbeaten in six straight matches across all competitions.
• PSV have won eight consecutive away games since March.
• Leverkusen are unbeaten in seven meetings with Dutch clubs.
• PSV have not beaten a German side away from home in 48 years.

Leverkusen’s start under Hjulmand has been steady, if not spectacular. Saturday’s 2-1 victory over St. Pauli extended their unbeaten streak to six matches, with three wins and three draws in that run. They did, however, concede twice in Copenhagen on matchday one, once again showing that keeping clean sheets isn’t their strongest suit. Still, supporters are clinging to the fact that Die Werkself haven’t lost against Dutch opposition in seven attempts. History may not guarantee results, but it does add a layer of confidence ahead of this one.

That said, Leverkusen have injury headaches. Captain Robert Andrich is unlikely to feature, and striker Patrik Schick could also miss out after hobbling off at the weekend. Add to that the long-term absentees like Palacios and Terrier, and Hjulmand may be forced into some creative choices. Yet, with Alex Grimaldo in sparkling form and Malik Tillman facing his former teammates, there’s no shortage of attacking options. Can they really ride their momentum to finally pick up a Champions League win?

On the other side, PSV come into this fixture wounded but not broken. Their 3-1 home defeat to Union Saint-Gilloise raised eyebrows, and Peter Bosz knows his side can’t afford a slow start in Germany. Still, PSV’s away form is incredible: eight straight victories on the road across all competitions. That’s no fluke. Joey Veerman continues to be the engine in midfield, while Ivan Perisic offers that big-game experience the squad leans on. Even so, PSV are carrying their own injury baggage, with Van Bommel, Pepi, and possibly Dest among those sidelined.

History is against them: 17 straight games without an away win against German clubs is a brutal record. But football thrives on broken curses, doesn’t it? Bosz’s side plays open, attacking football that creates chances but also leaves gaps at the back. That’s why this feels like a game primed for goals. Whether PSV finally end their long wait, or Leverkusen capitalize on home support, one thing seems certain: drama under the BayArena lights. And yes, the Soccer Stats point towards fireworks.
