For Bayer Leverkusen, this is the second matchday following a fifth-place finish in the concluded 2025 season. The team had 52 points from 29 games (15 wins, 7 draws, 7 losses) and a recent form of WWDDD. With 59 goals scored and 39 conceded, they held a positive goal difference of +20 but trailed leaders Bayern Munich by 24 points in the title race. The match against the newcomer offers a chance to gather early points before facing Union Berlin at home on September 5.
SV Elversberg is playing its first-ever Bundesliga match. The club has risen through three German leagues in the past five years, earning promotion from the 2. Bundesliga last season. For Leverkusen, this means facing a motivated newcomer with surprise potential. Xabi Alonso's team must adapt to an unfamiliar atmosphere in a smaller stadium. Simultaneously, Leverkusen is missing several players: Arthur, Kennet Eichhorn, Martin Terrier, and Montrell Culbreath are currently sidelined, as confirmed by the injuries list.
A victory in Spiesen-Elversberg would be an important step for Leverkusen's ambitions this season. After missing out on Champions League qualification last year, the aim is to stay close to the top group. Three points against the debutant would build confidence ahead of the more demanding clash with Union Berlin. The previous season's final standings highlight how narrow the gap was to the chasing pack. A stable start is therefore vital to avoid falling behind early. The squad wants to prove it has learned from last season and can perform more consistently.
