Bayer Leverkusen Stats 2025-2026

The statistical profile of Bayer Leverkusen in the 2025-2026 Bundesliga season tells a multifaceted story. With an average possession of 58.1%, B04 operate as a possession-dominant side that seeks to control matches through sustained ball circulation, a hallmark of elite Bundesliga teams that force opponents into reactive defensive shapes. The pass accuracy of 87.6% provides context: higher completion rates generally correlate with possession but also reflect risk-averse passing, while lower figures can indicate a more direct, vertical style that accepts turnovers in exchange for penetration.

From an expected goals perspective, B04's xG of 54.2 against an xGA of 26.5 produces a differential of +27.7. This is an elite-level differential that positions them among the strongest teams in European football, not just the Bundesliga. The gap between expected and actual goals also matters: B04 have scored 58 actual goals versus 54.2 xG (overperforming by 3.8), which suggests clinical finishing that may regress towards the mean.

The disciplinary record of 48 yellow cards and 2 red cards across 26 matches (1.8 yellows per game) is average for the Bundesliga, indicating a competitive but not reckless approach to physical duels and tactical fouling. With 10 clean sheets in 26 matches, the defence has shut out opponents in 38% of fixtures. This clean-sheet rate is among the best in the Bundesliga and is a primary reason B04 are competing at the top of the table. Ranking 2nd for goals scored and 2nd for goals conceded, Bayer Leverkusen occupy a clear statistical niche within the 2025-2026 Bundesliga table.
