When two teams have gone Over 2.5 goals in 100% of their recent matches, you don’t need much convincing. That’s exactly the situation heading into our Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs RB Leipzig prediction, and the numbers behind both attacks and both defences point firmly toward another high-scoring afternoon at BayArena.

Two Attacks That Don’t Stop Scoring

Leverkusen are averaging 2.67 goals a game, and Leipzig aren’t far behind at 2.5. Neither side is built to play cagey, low-event football right now. When you put two teams with this kind of attacking output on the same pitch, goals tend to follow almost by default.

What makes this matchup stand out is the consistency behind those numbers. Leverkusen have gone Over 2.5 goals in every single one of their recent matches. Leipzig have matched that exact record. That’s not a coincidence built on one or two big scorelines — it’s a pattern that’s held up across their recent form.

Defences That Keep Leaking Goals

The other side of the coin matters just as much here. Leverkusen are conceding 1.67 goals per game, and Leipzig are shipping 1.75. Neither defence is doing enough to keep the goals column empty at the other end.

Leverkusen’s BTTS rate sits at 67%, showing their own backline gets breached regularly even while they’re scoring freely themselves. Leipzig’s BTTS rate is a touch lower at 50%, but combined with their attacking numbers, it still points to a match where both teams are likely to find the net rather than one side dominating a clean sheet.

Form Backs the Trend

Leverkusen’s recent run reads L-W-D, a mixed bag that hasn’t been about shutting up shop. Leipzig have gone W-L-L-W, a stretch with plenty of goals conceded along the way given their own defensive numbers. Neither team is arriving in defensive lockdown mode, and there’s no head-to-head history here to suggest this fixture usually plays out differently.

Put it all together and the picture is clear. Two attacking sides averaging well over two goals a game each, two defences leaking regularly, and recent form on both ends that backs up an open, end-to-end contest. The 100% Over 2.5 rate for both teams isn’t a fluke — it’s a reflection of how each side has been playing.
