Leverkusen Face Leipzig in Early Test of Title Defense

Leverkusen Aiming to Spoil Leipzig's Party

Bayer Leverkusen will face RB Leipzig in the German Bundesliga, in what will be an early test of their title credentials.

Leverkusen finished second last season, just five points behind champions Bayern Munich, and have strengthened their squad over the summer.

Leipzig, meanwhile, have won the DFB-Pokal for the second time in three years and will be looking to challenge for the title this season.

Patrik Schick (Leverkusen): The Czech striker scored 24 goals in 34 league games last season.
Christopher Nkunku (Leipzig): The French forward scored 20 goals in 34 league games last season.
Florian Wirtz (Leverkusen): The German midfielder is one of the most exciting young players in Europe.
Dani Olmo (Leipzig): The Spanish midfielder is a key player for Leipzig and has been linked with a move to Barcelona.

This is a tough match to call, but Leverkusen will be confident of getting a result at home.

They have a strong squad and are in good form, having won their last four matches in all competitions.

Leipzig will be no pushovers, but Leverkusen should have enough to win this match.

This match is a huge test for both Leverkusen and Leipzig.

Leverkusen will be looking to make a statement of intent, while Leipzig will be keen to show that they are genuine title contenders.

It should be a fascinating match, and it could have a big impact on the Bundesliga title race.
