Match Preview
Bayer Leverkusen hosts FC Augsburg on April 18, 2026, at BayArena with Leverkusen sitting 6th in the Bundesliga table on 49 points, just outside European qualification spots. Augsburg lie 9th with 35 points, comfortably above relegation but lacking upward momentum. Leverkusen’s recent form includes a 50% win rate over their last 10 matches, averaging 2.0 goals scored and conceding 1.0 per game, highlighting their attacking consistency and relative defensive solidity at home.
At home, Leverkusen have maintained a strong scoring rhythm, averaging 2.1 goals per match overall. Meanwhile, Augsburg have struggled on the road, scoring only 0.9 goals per game in their last 10 outings and conceding 2.1 goals on average, pointing to defensive fragility away from home. Augsburg’s recent return of Keven Schlotterbeck from injury may stabilize their backline, but their 20% win rate in the last 10 matches underscores ongoing struggles.
Leverkusen’s key figure, Schick, continues to lead their attack with consistent goal contributions, while Augsburg’s defense remains a concern despite Schlotterbeck’s return. The home side’s superior goal production and stable form give them a clear edge. Bayer Leverkusen holds roughly a 60% chance to win, driven by better offense and home advantage, while Augsburg’s defensive weaknesses away make them vulnerable to another loss.
